II. Background 

In January 2001, pursuant to section 

604(b) of Public Law 105–383, the 

Harmful Algal Bloom and Hypoxia 

Research and Control Act of 1998, Title 

VI, enacted on November 13, 1998, the 

Task Force published its first Action 

Plan, 2001 Plan of Action for Reducing, 

Mitigating, and Controlling Hypoxia in 

the Northern Gulf of Mexico. The Task 

Force has updated this initial plan 

through a multiple-step reassessment 

which is reflected in the current draft 

2008 Action Plan and will culminate in 

the 2008 Action Plan. The draft 2008 

Action Plan reflects the Task Force’s 

efforts over the past six years to track 

progress, update the science, and adapt 

the actions to improve the effectiveness 

of the efforts throughout the Mississippi 

River Basin. Building on the 2001 

Action Plan, the plan lays out specific 

steps that need to be accomplished to 

reach the goals. It also reiterates the 

long-term goals and continues the Task 

Force’s commitment to a voluntary and 

adaptive management approach to 

improve water quality in the Mississippi 

River Basin and reduce the size of the 

hypoxic zone in the northern Gulf of 

Mexico. This adaptive management 

approach involves continual feedback 

between the interpretation of new 

information and improved management 

actions and is the key to targeting 

actions within watersheds where they 

will be most effective. 

Information about the Task Force and 

its reassessment can be found at the 

following Web site: http://www.epa.gov/ 

msbasin/.
