Spotter Platform

Webinar: How the University of Texas uses the Spotter Platform to accelerate hypoxia research and protect coral reefs in the Gulf

Sofar Ocean

In this webinar, Dr. Xinping Hu (University of Texas Marine Science Institute), Marissa Nuttall (Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary), and Nick Gagliano (Sofar) discuss:

How hypoxia, or low oxygen conditions, in the Gulf likely influenced the localized die-off of some of the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary's (FGBNMS) vibrant and diverse coral reef ecosystems.
How Dr. Hu and his team at the University of Texas Marine Science Institute use Spotter to monitor dissolved oxygen and better understand its impact on reef health in FGBNMS, particularly during warm months.
How Marissa Nuttall and her colleagues at FGBNMS partner with researchers like Dr. Hu to enhance environmental monitoring efforts, make data-driven conservation decisions, and protect reef ecosystems.

A Q&A follows the session.
