Delmarva Coastal Bays Conference III: Tri-State Approaches to Preserving Aquatic Resources, Ocean City, MD, November 12-13, 1999.

Description:
The results of the 1993 assessment of the ecological condition of the Delaware and Maryland coastal bays were discussed at the Delmarva Coastal Bays Conference in 1996. The objective of this paper is to update our knowledge on the condition of the coastal bays with information from studies conducted since the last conference. Several studies have been conducted on the ecological condition, including the estuarine food chain and its stresses, in the intervening years. This paper focused on studies conducted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with partners from other Federal and State agencies. Other reports in this conference described information from several other efforts.
