Summary

SERA 46 Workshop on Water Quality

The meeting began with a technical check-in to ensure audio and video connections were functioning properly for all participants. The group then introduced themselves, with representatives from various state agencies, the EPA, and other organizations attending. The meeting was identified as the SERA 46 and Hypoxia Task Force Coordinating Committee workshop, and participants discussed their roles and responsibilities in water quality and conservation efforts.

Collaborative Science Initiatives Discussion

The meeting began with introductions from various participants, including representatives from NOAA, USDA, universities, and state environmental agencies. Rachel Buzzeo emphasized the importance of collaboration and knowledge-sharing among attendees. The group discussed upcoming topics, including communication strategies, nutrient science, and research needs. They also mentioned the need to find a co-chair to work with Julie on the research needs workgroup following Dave Wall's retirement. The meeting set the stage for more in-depth discussions in the following day's executive session.

EPA Communications Strategy Update

Jenny Seifert from the University of Wisconsin-Madison Division of Extension provided an update on the communications strategy for the EPA cooperative agreement. She outlined three main goals: increasing understanding of hypoxia challenges, encouraging conservation practice adoption, and fostering support for nutrient loss reduction strategies. Jenny presented four fledgling communication tactics: an ambassador's toolkit, a state of the science slide deck, an audience survey, and a podcast through the One Good Idea platform. She sought feedback on these tactics, particularly regarding the ambassador's toolkit and audience survey. Rachel Buzzeo inquired about the ANPC-LGU collaboration tactic, asking for more details on its basin-wide approach and potential outcomes to support state needs.

Hypoxia Task Force Communication Strategy

The group discussed the development of a slide deck and survey about hypoxia task force goals and collaboration in the basin. Jenny explained the survey's purpose as a needs assessment to understand perceptions and identify communication needs. Rachel suggested using state agricultural associations and conservation groups as potential audiences for the survey. The group also discussed using the Hypoxia Task Force newsletter to communicate information about SERA 46 and other state activities.

Gulf Hypoxia Communication Strategies

The group discussed strategies for communicating information about Gulf hypoxia, with Jenny emphasizing the importance of understanding stakeholder perceptions to frame effective messages. Rachel suggested including SERA 46 content in the quarterly newsletter, which typically contains three issues per year. The team considered alternative formats for distributing information, such as email newsletters, and discussed the need to make content digitally accessible. Matt shared insights from surveys and interviews with local government officials, highlighting the importance of connecting hypoxia issues to local concerns before explaining broader impacts.

Research Priorities and Collaboration Update

Shannon presented updates on research agenda development work, focusing on nutrient reduction strategies. She highlighted progress on review and perspective papers, workshops, and building a researcher database. The Early Career Confluence Workshop, held virtually due to weather, involved 35 researchers discussing priority areas and professional development. Key outcomes included refining the top 7 research priorities, identifying the need for scaling and translation across regions, and establishing a framework for addressing priorities incrementally. A white paper on workshop outcomes is being developed, with opportunities for co-authorship.

Sensor Workshop and Research Planning

Shannon discussed the upcoming sensor-based workshop in February, which will bring together 25 water quality sensor and machine learning experts to analyze data across the Mississippi River Basin. She outlined plans to continue refining the top seven research priorities through additional feedback and to replicate the approach with more established researchers. Shannon also introduced a researcher database to facilitate cross-state collaborations and discussed ongoing literature reviews. The group discussed the potential to connect early career researchers with state contacts and to share information about upcoming events and opportunities.

Research Priorities and Membership Gaps

The Research Needs Workgroup discussed the relevance of previously identified research needs from 2020, with members agreeing that several needs, particularly 8 and 9, should be elevated to higher priority due to new information and ongoing state initiatives. The group identified gaps in their current membership, particularly in animal agriculture research, and discussed the need to explore new research topics including stream bank erosion phosphorus contributions and BMP effectiveness for grazing management. The conversation ended with logistics for an upcoming networking event and the following day's schedule, which included a states caucus, executive session, and public session at EPA's East building.

Meeting Summary from Thursday February 5, 2026.

Jenny Seifert led a discussion on the communications strategy associated with the EPA Cooperative Agreement. This included development of a slide deck that can be used by all SERA-46 members. Discussed additional collaboration with stakeholders. The group is planning for more discussions and joint events with the Agriculture Nutrient Policy Council (ANPC)

Shannon Speir provided an update on the research focus of the EPA Cooperative Agreement and the Early Career Workshop. There was great attendance at the workshop despite having to shift to virtual option. An update was provided on the papers coming from the research work groups. Shannon reiterated there was still time to sign up for future papers being planned. A paper on cover crop effectiveness is nearing submission as is a paper on watershed-scale conservation.

Agreement to set up recurring quarterly meetings of the entire SERA-46 groups with more frequent meetings of specific focus groups.

Outputs and Outcomes

The integrated and collaborative works of SERA-46 have produced multiple significant outputs:

The Early Career Confluence Workshop was held in January 2026 (due to weather conditions had to  pivot to virtual) - with ~40 early career researchers from the Mississippi River basin attending. They presented their research and gave feedback on basin-wide research agenda. The participation was beyond Land Grant University system which broadened the impact of the event.

The Basin Breakthrough Seminar was held in three webinar sessions: upper, middle, and lower basins. The zoom-based event allowed 9 early career scientists to present 15–20-minute talks on their current research for ~35-40 participants per session. The three sessions were hosted in Fall 2025 and paved the way for future events and workshops.

A Mississippi River Basin focused water quality sensor workshop was held in February 2026 - 28 participants from across the world (in person in Fayetteville). Outcomes = 1 commentary and 6 research papers

Two manuscripts on cover crop effectiveness and watershed-scale conservation, respectively, are nearing submission.

Developed a basin-wide communications strategy to improve coordinated communications efforts in support of the Hypoxia Task Force goals, which included organizing stakeholder interviews and committee meetings to generate input.

Presented at Gulf Hypoxia Task Force meeting on research agenda development.

Representatives of NGOs working in the Mississippi River basin connected around strategies for increasing nature-based solutions (NBSs) on the landscape.

A Communications Strategy to Coordinate Nutrient Loss Reduction Efforts in the Mississippi River Basin. 2025. Seifert, J., Genskow, K., Gumbert, A., Hayes, M.P., Peng, Bin. https://www.sera46.org/uploads/1/3/5/1/135182488/basin-wide_communications_strategy_2025_final.pdf

Project team members explored two peer-learning formats (virtual World Café, virtual hackathon) and semi-structured interviews with watershed professionals to capture essential elements necessary to build a successful peer learning network around nature-based solutions; the ultimate goal of a peer learning network is to increase the utilization of nature-based solutions in the Mississippi River basin for ecosystem resiliency.

The Iowa Learning Farms Webinar Series held 50 webinars in 2025. Of these 50 webinars there were 15,962 combined live and archived views. A total of 653 Certified Crop Advisor continuing education units were provided to individuals participating in the live webinars. Participatns represented 35 states and the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Canada, Germany, and Israel. Most of these webinars are related to nutrient reduction topics.

In collaboration with the University of Tennessee Beef and Forage Center, a flood recovery team was formed to coordinate research and extension efforts to respond to efforts to recover from the flooding caused by Hurricane Helene in eastern TN. This included conducting numerous site visits to affected farms, collection and analysis of the sediments left on the fields after the floods, germination and greenhouse studies, a successful field day attended by over 200, the establishment of numerous field trials and demonstrate sites and the development of several grants for funding efforts for this important work. This work was recognized by Gamma Sigma Delta by receiving the team award for Tennessee.

Planned and facilitated a farm field day in Central Kentucky to share conservation practice success.

Three conservation practices were installed on one KY farm to reduce erosion in the livestock production system.

Short-term outcomes - SERA-46 has increased awareness of strategies to reduce nitrogen and phosphorus loading to their local surface waters. For example:

From the Iowa Learning Farms evaluation, 99% of attendees that completed an evaluation indicated they had gained knew knowledge from the webinar. In addition, 66% of those completing an evaluation indicated they networked with others about conservation ideas.

Medium-term outcomes - SERA-46 has changed behaviors to reduce nitrogen and phosphorus loading to their local surface waters by emphasizing social science factors in educational methods to increase conservation adoption focused on "farmer to farmer" exchanges.

Stronger peer learning network for farmers doing conservation in the Mississippi River Basin through the Good Idea Shop Talks meet-up series for farmers.

From our Good Idea Shop Talk events, 82% (40) of farmer survey respondents agreed they felt more motivated to do conservation and 81% (40) were more willing to experiment with different ways to do conservation as a result of their participation. When asked about gaining confidence and about feeling less concerned about barriers to implementing conservation practices, 71% (35 respondents) agreed. In terms of intentions, 53% (26 respondents) agreed they learned about a conservation practice they plan to adopt, while 67% (33 respondents) agreed they plan to expand their use of conservation practices as a result of ideas shared in the Shop Talks. Also, most respondents (78%) agreed that they felt more connected to a community of conservation-minded farmers because of their participation.

Long-term outcomes - SERA-46 has changed the conditions that influence nitrogen and phosphorus loading to their local surface waters and the Gulf of Mexico by advancing innovation, demonstrating effectiveness, and facilitating adoption of practices.

The Good Idea Mini-grant Program enabled seven farmers to install edge-of-field practices on their operations. It also improved collaboration between farmers and farm advisors to implement edge-of-field practices.
