Task Force Members

The Mississippi River/Gulf of America Watershed Nutrient Task Force (Task Force) includes federal and state agencies and the tribes. Federal agencies provide program funding and technical tools both to lead federal efforts and to support state and tribal efforts to reduce nitrogen and phosphorus pollution in the Mississippi/Atchafalaya River Basin (MARB) and the Gulf of America. State representatives are from one of the environmental, agricultural, or natural resource management state agencies, with ten member states along the mainstem of the Mississippi River and two member states along the mainstem of the Ohio River. The tribes in the Mississippi River Basin portion of the 12 member state areas are represented by the National Tribal Water Council. The role of the Task Force is to provide executive level direction and support for coordinating the actions of participating organizations working on nutrient management within the MARB.

The Task Force has designated members of a Coordinating Committee (CC) that includes three Sub-basin Committees and representatives of state and federal agencies described below.

The CC facilitates communications, work group coordination, and makes recommendations to the Task Force for action.
