"Assessing Ecological Responses of North Carolina's Pamlico Sound System to a Period of Elevated Hurricane Activity: What's Manageable and What's Not?
Dr Hans W. Paerl
Kenan Professor, Marine and Environmental Sciences
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Institute of Marine Sciences
Eutrophication from excessive nitrogen loading has caused water quality and habitat decline in the Neuse River and Pamlico Sound (North Carolina) systems and prompted regulatiory mandated reductions in loading, guided by a total maximum daily load (TMDL) analysis. Features of a related/monitoring program being implemented, that resolve water quality conditions at appropriate time and space scales, will be described, including: (1) FerryMon (www.ferrymon.org), ferry-based continuous space-time intensive monitoring, and (2) ModMon (www.unc.edu/ims/neuse/modmon), bi-weekly 11 station monitoring.
