National Estuarine Eutrophication Assessment: Effects of Nutrient Enrichment in the Nation’s Estuaries
This report presents the results of a National Assessment Workshop held in August 1998 to address the problem of estuarine eutrophication. The assessment was based primarily on the results of the National Estuarine Eutrophication Survey, conducted by NOAA from 1992 to 1997, but was supplemented by information on nutrient inputs, ...

National Status and Trends Mussel Watch Program: Sampling Methods 2012 Update
Since 1986, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), through its National Status and Trends (NS&T) Mussel Watch Program, has monitored our coastal waters for chemical contaminants and biological indicators of water quality. The Mussel Watch Program (MWP) is based on the collection and analysis of indigenous bivalve mollusks (oysters ...
Natural and human-induced hypoxia and consequences for coastal areas: synthesis and future development
Hypoxia has become a world-wide phenomenon in the global coastal ocean and causes a deterioration of the structure and function of ecosystems. Based on the collective contributions of members of SCOR Working Group #128, the present study provides an overview of the major aspects of coastal hypoxia in different biogeochemical ...
