The Wells National Estuarine Research Reserve Management Plan?A Model for Other Estuarine Reserves and a Mechanism for Improved Coastal Resources Policy
This paper describes the management plan for the Wells National Estuarine Research Reserve, an approximately 1600-acre site along the southern Maine coast. With the assistance of planning...
Submergence, Salt-Water Intrusion, and Managed Gulf Coast Marshes
Many coastal marshes are managed to improve wildlife habitat. Simultaneous salt-water intrusion and rapid submergence in Louisiana place additional demands on marsh managers and may become...
Statistical Analysis of Gulf of Mexico Oil Spills of Less than 1,000 Barrels
A statistical analysis of the Minerals Management Service's (MMS) historic oil-spill data associated with Gulf of Mexico OCS oil production activities is presented. The analysis focused...
