Notification of Request for Research Assistance; Program Development and Evaluation Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Program EstuariesLouisianian and West Indian Provinces

摘要

The EMAP-Estuaries (EMAP-E) research program develops strategies to define its monitoring program, interpret results, and extrapolate the findings of the experimental monitoring systems to different time and spatial scales as well as various pollutant/ environmental scenarios. Assistance is requested of cooperating institutions to develop indices of estuarine condition and evaluate effectiveness of the imposed sampling and processing regimes. Each area of cooperation also presents additional research possibilities that extend beyond the basic EMAP concept.
