| This funding will be used for continuation of the Bay Window Monitoring Program which assesses the water quality, ecology, fish and fisheries of the Narragansett Bay. This program uses a combination of traditional and high technology approaches to measure its productivity, fish, plankton, benthos, water quality, and nutrient inputs and fluxes. The Bay Window Monitoring Program is designed to keep a finger on the pulse of Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island’s most valuable economic and environmental resource, to determine its ongoing health and help guide its management and planning into the future. It is a partnership among federal and state agencies, academia, and the scientific community. | |
