| Abstract |
The report is the first in a series being developed to assist US EPA implement its Near Coastal Waters and National Estuary Programs. It summarizes estimates of the relative susceptibility and status of 17 estuaries on the East Coast from North Carolina through Florida with respect to nutrient-related pollution. The information in the report is intended to increase understanding of coastal environmental problems and to serve as a screening tool for coastal resource decision-making. A 1-page summary is included in the report for each of the 17 estuaries in the East Coast region from Albemarle/Pamlico Sound through Biscayne Bay. Each summary contains data on significant physical and hydrologic features, estimations of nutrient loading, pollution susceptibility, and nutrient concentrations, along with a narrative to assist the reader in interpreting the data. |
