DescriptionThis excerpt contains the first 13 chapters of The Delaware Estuary: Research as Background for Estuarine Management and Development, issued in July 1983 for the Delaware River and Bay Authority. These are the "science chapters"; the remaining chapters address potential roles for the Delaware River and Bay Authority in managing the estuary. This study, called the Delaware Estuary Project, is based on the tenet that the best stance for estuarine management decisions is sound scientific understanding. The science chapters cover topics such as river flow and salinity, circulation of the estuary, nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus and silicon), organic matter, sediments, trace metals, plankton and fish (including shellfish).
NoteEdited by Jonathan H. Sharp, Project Manager of the Delaware Estuary Project; Sponsored by Delaware River and Bay Authority, University of Delaware Sea Grant College Program and New Jersey Marine Sciences Consortium.
