Many individuals from federal agencies, state agencies, universities, public institutions, congressional delegations, nongovernmental organizations and the public have supported advancing the knowledge of hypoxia, resolving issues and guiding policy development for solutions. A long list of investigators, colleagues, research associates, students, vessel staff and volunteers have given their time and intellect to hypoxia studies. Thank you.
