This data tip from Bridge, the Ocean Sciences Education Teacher Resource Center archive, includes a variety of educational sites to visit, and a data exercise on water quality in which students graph dissolved oxygen versus depth in the Gulf of Mexico dead zone where the Mississippi River enters the Gulf. The data is from the Nutrient Enhanced Coastal Ocean Productivity Program (NECOP).
