Summary
Hypoxia in Narragansett Bay was first recorded in the 1950s. It has reduced and killed benthos. Narrangansett Bay is hypoxic from June to September, related to the high nutrient loads. Dissolved oxygen content was widespread by the 1980s and declined from the 1990s to 2000s.

Summary
Hypoxia in Mississippi Sound was first recorded in the 1980s. In west Mississippi Sound hypoxia occurred in 1950s and intensified in 1960s. In East Mississippi Sound stratification is a highly significant factor contributing to hypoxia. In east Mississippi Sound dissolved oxygen content has improved from the1990s to 2000s.
