Harris L, Granger S, Nixon S. 2005. Evaluation of the Health of Eelgrass (Zostera marina L.) Beds Within the Maryland Coastal Bays,A Report to the National Park Service. University of Rhode Island. Narragansett, RI
This report details our attempt to intercompare several indicators and correlate them with riverine nutrient inputs as a test of their usefulness as early warning tools. Our first efforts focused on identifying sampling stations in Chincoteague Bay located near ongoing monitoringsites and with seagrass beds that would reflect the effects of a wide range of environmental conditions.
