Survey of Marine Wetland and Estuarine Water Quality and Ecological Problems in Corps of Engineers Field Offices.
Abstract
This report presents the results of a survey of Corps of Engineers (CE) field offices that have coastal zone responsibilities. The purpose of the survey was to investigate existing or anticipated water quality and ecological problems associated with CE activities in marshes and estuaries. Emphasis was placed on identifying those problems amenable to analysis through application of predictive modeling techniques. The identified problems represent the preceptions of the field personnel as interpreted by Science Applications, Inc. In some cases, perceived problems have been extensively researched or are being presently studied. The survey was designed to identify problems perceived by the field offices and may not reflect current understanding. Three general problems were emphasized by all offices: (a) the uniqueness of the specific environments in their District; (b) water quality and environmental problems are functions of local concerns of the public; and (c) there is a need to evaluate efforts of a change in physical regime on an estuary.
