The objectives are to define: (1) the occurrences, source, and distribution of nutrients; (2) current patterns and directions and rates of movement; (3) physical, organic, and inorganic water quality and its areal distribution and time variation; (4) occurrence, quality, quantity, and dispersion of drainage entering the estuarine systems; and (5) chemical and physical characteristics of water which enters the estuaries from the Gulf of Mexico. The data collected from October 1968 to September 1969 are presented.water analysisestuarieswater resourcesnutrientscurrent directionwater qualityBook
