Hypoxia and Dead Zones in EuropeanSeas: Legislation, Policies and Measures for the Protection and Recovery of our Marine Ecosystems.
Subject: International Marine Environmental Law, EuropeanEnvironmental Law, Eutrophication, Hypoxia.
Statement of the problem:
Hypoxic zones can occur naturally, but scientists report thathypoxiceventsaround the world havebeenesponentiallyincreasingsince the mid 1960s

created or enhanced by human activity (anthropogenic). Anthropogenicnutrientloading from sourcessuchasagriculture, fossilfuelemissions, and

climateeventsisbelieved to be related to the global increase in frequency, size, and duration of certainalgalblooms. Excess nutrients that run off

land or are piped as wastewater into rivers and coasts can stimulate an overgrowth of algae, which then sinks and decomposes in the water. The

decomposition process consumes oxygen and depletes the supply available to healthy marine life. Hypoxic zones are areas in the ocean of such low

oxygen concentration that animal life suffocates and diesor, if they are mobile such as fish, leave the area.Marine habitats that would normally be

teeming with life become, essentially, biological deserts without life “Dead Zones”.“Many ecosystems are now severely stressed by hypoxia that may

be near of change or collapse (loss of fisheries, loss of biodiversity, alteration of food webs)” (R. Diaz).Some recorded dead zones in Europe are

the Baltic Sea, the Kattegat Strait, the Black Sea and the northern Adriatic Sea.

Project description:
Purpose:
to investigate the responce of Europeancountries to natural and human inducedchanges in Europeansea water quality. Thiscontributiondemonstrateswhich

are the mostefficienttools in Hypoxia control.

Format:I intend to structure my thesis as a series of chapters and paragraphs.

EU hasbeentaking steps to fighthypoxia fixing parameters to evaluate water quality and for the reduction of nitrogen and phosphorousloads in the

environment, notablythrough the adoption of severalcrucialpieces of legislation: The Nitrates Directive (1991) • The Urban Waste-Water Treatment

Directive (1991) • The Water Framework Directive (2000) • Marine Strategy Framework Directive (2008) • Eu legislation on Invasive Species

What to do:
Watch “The Future of Omni-Channel Retail: Emily Culp of Rebecca Minkoff”

This is a short video (about 18 minutes) explaining how Rebecca Minkoff strategically integrates multiple marketing channels. A link to the video is

available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IR6wGM_WAvk

Think about the organization for which you currently work and answer these two questions:

1. How does the organization integrate multiple channels to connect with customers?

2. What is a specific example of how the organization uses the large amount of customer data they have to enhance their omni-channel marketing?

There are 7 different technology ideas (tools) being listed to enhance evidence-based learning. Please specify them and explain each of

them with at least one example.
1. Science WebQuests
2. Asking a Scientist
3. Computer Probe Interfaces
4. Digital Microscopes
5. Virtual Imaging
6. Authentic Science Experiences
7. Simulations
