This inventory is largely descriptive, serving as the first phase in a larger project which will ultimately evaluate the effectiveness of the existing regulatory framework. That assessment in turn will form the basis for the CCMP as well as for policy recommendations to improve the coordination of environmental management of the Bay.estuarine managementsubsidencepollutiondredgingoil spillsTechnical Report
