The Encyclopedia of Estuaries, part of Springer's Encyclopedia of Earth Sciences Series, provides a single, state-of-the-art, comprehensive reference volume on estuaries for research scientists, educators, students, and others. Consisting of almost 270 subject entries in an easy-to-use format, this volume covers the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of estuaries. In total more than 225 authors from around the world have contributed to the encyclopedia on such diverse subjects as biotic communities, essential habitats, food webs, fisheries, hydrology, pollution, conservation, and many more. The Encyclopedia of Estuaries will meet the needs of professionals worldwide by supplying detailed information from world-class estuarine and marine scientists as well as experts from other fields of study.

This book examines the pollution impacts on estuarine and coastal marine biotic communities. It provides case histories of well-known, heavily contaminated systems. The book is helpful for marine scientists and administrators engaged in the research and management of marine environments.

This extensive handbook covers developments in estuarine and marine pollution. A truly international collection of data is presented, in an organized framework, on a wide range of subject areas including eutrophication, organic loading, oil pollution, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, halogenated hydrocarbons, trace metals, radioactive waste, dredging and dredged-spoil disposal, and effects of electric generating stations. It includes more than 400 tables and figures, providing quick access to information. The combination of discussions and illustrations with a tabular format make it easy to use and understand.

This volume examines the work of the National Estuary Program, the prominent federally-funded initiative that addresses pollution and other anthropogenic impacts on estuarine ecosystems. Estuary Restoration and Maintenance sets into clear perspective the state of America's estuarine waters, the effects of human development in watersheds, and the impacts of pollution and anthropogenic activities on living resources and habitats in these critically important coastal systems. The text covers the gamut of issues, from the technical assessment of problems to management action plans for the improvement of the environmental quality of estuaries.

Designed to meet the research, monitoring and assessment needs of scientists, planners, managers and administrators, this reference covers pollution in coastal and estuarine waters. It includes general concepts, case histories, and more.

Offers information available on the human impact on estuarine ecosystems. This volume discusses both acute and insidious pollution problems plaguing these coastal ecotones. It also provides an examination of the deleterious and pervasive effects of human activities on biotic communities and sensitive habitat areas in estuaries.

Examines the work of the National Estuary Program, the federally-funded initiative that addresses pollution and other anthropogenic impacts on estuarine ecosystems. This book focuses on the technical and management issues involved in National Estuary Program sites across the US-Long Island Sound, Delaware Bay, Galveston Bay, and San Francisco Bay.

Covers developments in estuarine and marine pollution. This book presents data on a wide range of subject areas including eutrophication, organic loading, oil pollution, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, halogenated hydrocarbons, trace metals, radioactive waste, dredging and dredged-spoil disposal, and effects of electric generating stations.
