Abstract: The 6th Annual NOAA/NGI Hypoxia Research Coordination Workshop: Establishing a Cooperative Hypoxic Zone Monitoring Network was convened on 12-13 September 2016 to develop a framework for a sustainable, multi-partner Gulf of Mexico hypoxic zone monitoring program, and plan the follow-up coordination needed to move forward with implementation. A Steering Committee of federal, state, and academic partners produced a comprehensive monitoring strategy white paper prior to the workshop that provided a framework for a cooperative monitoring program based on programmatic and financial requirements designed to meet key management needs. This workshop proceedings report builds off the pre-workshop white paper, incorporating discussion points from presentations and working sessions to identify monitoring requirements linked to key management needs and the mechanisms, resources, and potential collaborations necessary to implement and sustain a cooperative monitoring program that includes the hypoxic zone and other Gulf ecosystem conservation and restoration issues. The workshop strategy for building a cooperative hypoxia monitoring program was framed around the need to generate data products that meet management needs. Five management products were identified that require monitoring at various temporal and spatial scales.
