Louisiana coastal ecosystem Louisiana coastal ecosystem
Louisiana's coast and its degradation and restoration are major environmental issues being studied at the National Wetlands Research Center. Coastal ecosystems are vulnerable because of the tremendous amount of human activity that takes place along the coast. Information on ecological processes is essential to guide the development along the coast as well as to protect and restore...

Assessment of sedimentation in Crowders Creek, York County, South Carolina, 1999-2000 Assessment of sedimentation in Crowders Creek, York County, South Carolina, 1999-2000
Sedimentation in Crowders Creek cove in Lake Wylie, located in York County, South Carolina, has restricted boat navigation and made a boat ramp unusable. To provide baseline information, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the York County Council, collected bathymetric and bed-sediment data in the cove, and streamflow and suspended-sediment data in a free-flowing reach of...

Interagency field manual for the collection of water-quality data Interagency field manual for the collection of water-quality data
Along the United States-Mexico border region, numerous Federal, State, and local agencies; nongovernmental organizations (NGO); and researchers collect water-quality data for many purposes. The water community uses a number of documented and undocumented procedures, some of which have specific data-quality objectives (DQO) and data-information objectives. This mix of procedures results...
Is Acropora palmata (elkhorn coral) making a comeback in the Virgin Islands? Is Acropora palmata (elkhorn coral) making a comeback in the Virgin Islands?
White band disease (WBD) ravaged Acropora palmata (elkhorn coral) on many coral reefs in the Caribbean in the late 1970’s and 1980’s, including those around St. John and St. Croix, U. S. Virgin Islands—USVI (Gladfelter 1982, Rogers 1985). Quantitative data, photographs, and anecdotal observations indicate WBD killed large stands of elkhorn coral in the USVI from about 1976 until sometime...

Natural and anthropogenic influences on the distribution of the threatened Neosho madtom in a midwestern warmwater stream Natural and anthropogenic influences on the distribution of the threatened Neosho madtom in a midwestern warmwater stream
We attempted to discern the contributions of physical habitat, water chemistry, nutrients, and contaminants from historic lead–zinc mining activities on the riffle‐dwelling benthic fish community of the Spring River, a midwestern warmwater stream that originates in Missouri and flows into Kansas and Oklahoma. The Spring River has a fish community that includes the Neosho madtom Noturus...
