We measured pools of dissolved phosphorus (P), including dissolved inorganic P (DIP), dissolved organic P (DOP) and alkaline phosphatase (AP)-hydrolyzable labile DOP (L-DOP), and kinetic parameters of AP activity (APA) in the euphotic zone in the western North Pacific Ocean. Samples were collected from one coastal station in Sagami Bay, Japan, and three offshore stations between the North Pacif...

We examine the impact of coastal wind turbines on coastal tourism and recreation for residents of the northern CAMA counties in North Carolina. A combination of telephone and web survey data are used to assess the impact of coastal wind farms on trip behavior and site choice. Most of the respondents to our telephone survey claim to support offshore wind energy development, and independent surve...

the present research article highlights the metal (cd, cu, pb, zn and fe)distribution pattern in the rspm generated in different hot spot sites located at kochi, thequeen of arabian sea. these sampling sites are categorized under three different zonesas estuarine, riverine, and coastal. two sampling phases are selected in order to check theconsistency in pollution trend after a two year gap and...

NOAA is responsible for protecting and restoring marine and coastal environments impacted by spills and hazardous substance releases. The Office of Response and Restoration (OR&R) is the focal point for NOAA's spill preparedness, emergency response, and restoration programs. OR&R's Hazardous Materials Response Division and its contingent of on-scene Scientific Support Coordinators have earned a...

The seed for this collaborative project has been the Land-Ocean Interaction in the Coastal Zone [LOICZ] typology group: a loosely organized set of researchers examining and estimating fluxes in basic nutrients in the coastal zone [1] This prior work has resulted in a well-defined process and a set of stand-alone and web-based tools for automatic typology development with geospatial data sets [3...

As part of our project entitled Wind, Waves, and Mixing in the Coastal Region (AO3-379) some measurements of waves and current profiles were performed in our study site. In the Pacific coast of Baja California, a wave and current sensor, a marine radar and a meteorological station have been in operation since mid 1998. Additionaly, a current meter profiler (adp) was installed for some days in e...
