| Notes | Dissolved oxygen (DO) levels in estuaries can drop due to human activities. They can also fall due to upwelling events offshore."This paper assesses whether there have been long-term changes in DO levels in the Yaquina Estuary, Oregon (USA) and the effect of ocean conditions on DO levels within that estuary. In addition, it compares recent DO levels in the Yaquina Estuary to historical data from other estuaries in the region and the inner Oregon shelf to evaluate whether the hypoxia recently observed on the inner shelf has previously occurred."
