	Save Barnegat Bay
		The submerged aquatic, eelgrass which is recognized as the barometer of the health of Barnegat Bay has fallen to the low end of the scale in 2001.
		A recent survey of the submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) beds (eelgrass and widgeon grass) in Barnegat Bay showed that the heavy brown algae covering the grass in May and June had died and the eelgrass was growing well.
		The eelgrass meadows in most of Barnegat Bay suffered from an early growth of a large macro algae which covered the growing grass starving it from sunlight.

	Narragansett Bay
		The United States Congress named Narragansett Bay an Estuary of National Significance in 1987, and each year more and more aquatic life call the Bay their home.

		The Bay provides not only aesthetic joys and recreational enrichment, but also an influx of revenues that contributes to the fiscal well-being of our state.

	Dolphins - companions to whales at Hervey Bay, Queensland, Australia
		Dolphins are members of the cetacean family that may often be seen accompanying their larger aquatic cousins, the humpback whales of Hervey Bay, Queensland, Australia.
		The first aquatic mammals that whale watching visitors are likely to see in Hervey Bay are not whales, but dolphins.
		These creatures live in temperate to tropical waters mostly within 160 kilometers of land and often in bays and protected areas, where the water is quite shallow, such as at Hervey Bay.

		April weather on the bay can be volatile, and on more than one occasion a gentle west breeze became a strong east wind within minutes, causing three-to-five-foot whitecaps, which made the sampling process very difficult.
		The base map produced by this project may be used in a number of subsequent studies, including support of an environmental impact statement for a proposed national marine sanctuary, support of a proposed state underwater preserve, aquatic habitat studies, benthic macroinvertebrate studies, aquatic macrophyte mapping, shipwreck location mapping and coastal wetland mapping.
		The wastewater plant on the shore of Thunder Bay provided an ideal location for a base station, including all-hours access that would later prove essential in getting the job done despite difficult weather conditions on the bay.

	Chesapeake Bay Foundation - Save the Bay: The Chesapeake Bay
		Bay scientists and regulators generally consider a dissolved oxygen level of 5 milligrams per liter (mg/L) as the minimum for healthy aquatic life.
		In the deep-water areas of the Bay, decomposition of spring algae blooms causes hundreds of square miles of bottom waters to become hypoxic or anoxic during much of the summer.
		Though you can’t see it as you drive across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge outside of Annapolis, or across the Rappahannock River on Route 3, the “dead zone” has a devastating impact on the creatures living in the Bay and its tributaries.

	Biscayne Bay Aquatic Preserve Information Page

	San Diego Wetlands - Mission Bay
		During the 1950s and 60s, the river was channelized and the bay was dredged to create Mission Bay Park, the largest aquatic park in the United States.
		Mission Bay was once known as False Bay because early mariners mistook it for the entrance to San Diego Bay.
		Despite the dredging and filling of natural areas, many species of birds continue to frequent the Mission Bay area in the natural vegetation of the San Diego Flood Control Channel between Interstate 5 and the Pacific Ocean.

	NASA GISS: Science Briefs: The Vanishing Marshes of Jamaica Bay
		The anomalous abundance of these two aquatic to intertidal species could be associated with excess nutrient loading in the Bay from nearby sewage treatment plants, or with gradual drowning of the marsh islands and conversion to mudflats.
		While the historic rise in sea level may have contributed to some island marsh loss within Jamaica Bay, it is insufficient to explain the recently accelerating trends, inasmuch as the rate of sea level rise in this area remained relatively constant throughout the 20th century.
		More comprehensive mapping of the entire Jamaica Bay by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation revealed a 0.4%/yr shrinkage of island salt marsh area between 1924 and 1974, increasing to 1.4%/yr between 1974 and 1994, and 3.0%/yr between 1994 and 1999 (Hartig et al.

	Land Cover Analysis - Managing Coastal Estuaries
		Protecting and managing the habitats of Barnegat Bay benefits the citizens of New Jersey not only by reducing damage to natural ecological systems that provide homes for a myriad of terrestrial and aquatic species, but also by preserving open space and multiuse recreational areas in a region characterized by dense residential and commercial development.
		A 150-meter (300-foot) buffer around the bay and salt marsh areas was used to examine the quantity of human development and impervious surfaces that border these critical habitat areas and aggravate runoff, sedimentation, and nonpoint source pollution.

	Spartina alternaflora - Smooth Cordgrass - A Probem Aquatic Plant in the Western USA
		In Willapa Bay, millions of germinating seeds are visible in the high intertidal drift zone during the winter.
		Findings from attempts to remove a 1 by 2 m clone in Willapa Bay indicate it is difficult to remove all roots and rhizomes, and the amount of wet mud that is removed in the digging process makes the technique unmanageable (Aberle 1990).
		In Willapa Bay, the plants have been observed growing between 1.75 and 2.75 m above mean lower low water (MLLW), and transplants have been known to survive within 1 m above MLLW (Sayce 1988).
