Estuarine Research, Monitoring, and Resource Protection
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This is the only volume that defines the components and technical aspects of the NERRS program, providing valuable information to researchers and those engaged in estuary management programs. It examines estuarine problems including degraded water quality, reduction of biodiversity, and problematic invasive species, then investigates an array of human impacts. It presents a comprehensive analysis of six estuarine reserve locations, characterizing each region's physical, chemical, and biological conditions. These six expert case studies include a cross section of sites from three coasts, each emphasizing the importance of unified efforts of government and citizens to successfully maintain the ecology of these critical areas.
