Our Products and Tools
Field studies, such as this one in Leadenwah Creek in South Carolina, examine sediments for the
distribution and concentration of over 100 chemical contaminants. We also assess the condition
of bottom-dwelling invertebrates to create a comprehensive picture of the habitat's health.
NCCOS provides research, scientific information and tools to help balance the Nation's
ecological, social and economic goals. The research and tools we provide are central
to addressing coastal
issues raised in legislation and
NOAA's priorities. We also provide the research necessary for communities
to
develop effective and sustainable management of their resources.
