This volume examines the work of the National Estuary Program, the most comprehensive federally-funded initiative in the USA dealing with pollution and other anthropogenic impacts on estuarine ecosystems. Written by a leading estuarine scientist, the book focuses on the technical and management issues involved in four regionally-based programme studies across the United States. It covers the waterfront of issues from the technical assessment of problems to management action plans for improving the environmental quality of estuaries.
