It provides the most comprehensive assessment of these issues ever assembled for our nation's estuaries. The results represent a significant contribution to the development of a national strategy to control nutrient enrichment problems. The assessment includes evaluations of eutrophic conditions, impaired estuarine uses, influence of humans, future conditions, data gaps, and research needs.eutrophicationpollutionenvironmental policynutrient pollution of waterestuarine oceanographyenvironmental aspectsalgaeestuarine ecologyBook
