NATIONAL ESTUARY PROGRAM SUPPORT
Objective: Develops programs to protect and restore coastal resources in estuaries of national significance and
to develop a Comprehensive Conservation and Management plan for each estuary designated by the EPA
Administrator. The program characterizes the problems in the estuary and determines relationships between
pollutant loading and impacts on living resources. Potential implementation includes basin-wide reduction of
point and non-point sources of pollution and basin-wide resource management programs.

and tasks will include gathering and analyzing existing and historical data from various sources of information
previously collected in the estuary; identifying and conducting further research to acquire new and additional
