Earthplace lies geographically within the ecologically important Long Island Sound (LIS) watershed. Since the mid '80s, the LIS watershed has attracted much interest and effort with respect to the restoration of its health and the improvement of its biological integrity. In conjunction with Earthplace staff mem bers, volunteers collect dissolved oxygen data in shallow water harbors using field equipment such as dissolved oxygen meters, conductivity meters and pH meters. This information is used to construct oxygen profiles of harbors and document hypoxic (low oxygen tensions) events which may occur during the warm summer months. These conditions are damaging to most marine life forms. Data that is collected and processed is supplied to the Connecticut Depart ment of Environmental Protection (CT DEP) to aid in their study of hypoxic events in LIS. Volunteers also actively participate in catch-and-release research efforts on benthic (bottom dwelling) marine juvenile fish in local near-shore estuaries of LIS. Data from this effort is also supplied to the CT DEP Fisheries Division. Data on nutrient concentrations, bacteria and aquatic insect populations are gathered in freshwater watershed areas.

Rivers, lakes, estuaries, wetlands, streams, even the oceans can serve as catch basins for the land adjacent to them. Ground water aquifers serve the same purpose for the land above them. The actions of people who live within a watershed affect the health of the waters that drain into it. John Wesley Powell scientist, geographer, and leader of the first expedition through the Grand Canyon in 1869 perhaps described it best when he said that a watershed is: " that area of land, a bounded hydrologic system, within which all living things are inextricably linked by their common water course and where, as humans settled, simple logic demanded that they become part of the community."

Home Issue 9 - Human Impact on Estuaries Issue Discussion Issue 9 - Human Impact on Estuaries Issue Discussion How are estuaries formed? What contributes to the high biological productivity in estuaries? Why are estuaries important to human society? Why are estuaries exceptionally prone to human impacts? Introduction Ecological Function of Estuaries The shallow, nutrient-rich waters of estuaries and associated wetlands create a highly productive environment for plants and animals. In fact, estuarine environments are among the most productive on earth. The high concentration of nutrients and shallow depth support phytoplankton, seagrasses, macroalgae, emergent grasses and, in tropical environments, mangroves. Animal communities in estuarine sediments are of low diversity, since many species cannot tolerate the extreme fluctuations in temperature and salinity. Animals that feed upon benthic (bottom-associated) organisms are in turn food for larger consumers, which include larger fishes as well as birds and mammals. Many subhabitats within estuaries, such as salt marshes and seagrass beds, serve as nursery grounds for the juvenile stages of commercially valuable fish and shellfish. The production of the higher plants (seagrasses, marsh grasses, and mangroves) is in great surplus of what is directly consumed, and the decomposition of this material leads to a detrital food web where a large portion of the nutrition to the consumers derives from the microbes that grow on the dead plant material.

State Agencies Web Policies My Maine.gov Email this page MaineDepartment of Environmental Protection Issue Profile Maine Nonpoint Source Priority Watersheds Program October 15, 1998. Contact: Background. Every time rain falls or snow melts, pollutants such as soil, nutrients, bacteria, oils, and heavy metals are swept from land surfaces and carried through the watershed by runoff water into lakes, coastal waters, rivers and streams. This is nonpoint source pollution, so named because it may occur anywhere in the watershed, as opposed to coming from a single discharge point. Land use activities are the sources of nonpoint source pollution. Developed areas, including roads, parking lots and builidings; farming; and timber harvesting are all potential nonpoint sources that can cause or contribute to water quality problems. What is the Nonpoint Source Priority Watersheds Program? In 1997, the Maine Legislature enacted a law that authorizes the development of "a comprehensive watershed protection program" (5 MRSA §3331(7)). The program’s purpose is to prevent or reduce nonpoint source (NPS) pollutant loadings entering water resources so that beneficial uses of the lakes, rivers, streams, estuaries and groundwater are maintained or restored. The law directs the Maine Land and Water Resources Council (MLWRC), consisting of the commissioners from the State’s natural resource agencies, to coordinate the activities of agencies involved in watershed management. The Maine Watershed Management Committee, with representatives from state and federal agencies and private interest groups with a statewide interest in watershed management, serves as staff support to the Council.

The goal of the four-year project is to use microbes, fish, crabs, shrimp and other species bioindicators to measure how well estuaries are functioning and the impact of changes in coastal regions. Nine universities in the Gulf region have formed a consortium with the USM College of Marine Sciences to conduct the research funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. In year one, the team of 14 scientists will do their scientific sleuthing in their local estuaries. In years two through four, they will apply what they have learned to Apalachicola Bay, Mobile Bay and Galveston Bay, estuaries selected for their natural features and different levels of impact from human activity.

WATERSHEDS ARE US by Scott Martin, Larry Johnson and Julie Stoughton The U.S. EPA defines a watershed as "a geographic area in which water, sediments, and dissolved materials drain into a common outlet" - a stream, lake, estuary, aquifer, or ocean. This area is also called the drainage basin, drainage area, or catchment of the receiving water body. Sometimes the word watershed is used to refer to a watershed boundary, or dividing line. In this sense, for example, the North American Continental Divide - the boundary between all waters flowing to the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean - can be called a watershed. Can you visualize the major rivers draining the watersheds of the US? Click on the US map above to check your ideas How many major river drainage systems can you find? Which of these major river drainages (if any) includes your town? How does elevation affect river drainage? In this view, the lower elevations are represented by blue and yellow ( coastlines and valleys);the middle elevations (plains and foothills) are orange, green and brown; and the higher elevations (mountains and alpine peaks) are shown in lavender and white.

Pataki has announced $1.45 million in Environmental Protection Fund (EPF)-Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP) grants for ten projects in the Hudson Valley. They include a $300,000 grant to the City of Beacon, Dutchess County, most of which will be used to prepare the Beacon Harbor Management Plan and study locations and docking designs for the Rivers and Estuaries Center on the Hudson. The rest of the grant will be used to design improvements to an 1860s historic waterfront barn that will house certain boats in the community, such as one for sightseeing. The Rivers and Estuaries Center will advance the understanding of rivers, estuaries and watersheds and help guide conservation and management policies. It also will offer educational programs for teachers, students, citizen scientists and the public. More than $30 million has been committed to the center already, including $10 million from the NY Power Authority, $15 million from the Dyson Foundation, and $750,000 from Dutchess County. The center's permanent facilities will be located at Dennings Point and the Beacon Waterfront.
