Science

The Consortium will research and share relevant scientific information on topics affecting our waters.  This information will be carefully selected to reflect the best available sources. The Consortium’s Science Review work group will recommend articles and sources to be posted to this page. We intend to provide a short summary, and then provide a link to the full article or report.  This page will become a repository for research and information from the professional scientific community, both locally and world-wide.
