Dr. Hans Paerl and Dr. Nathan Hall discussed the Status of NC’s estuarine water quality yesterday at the Clean Waters and SAV (submerged aquatic vegetation) workshop. Their presentations focused on existing and developing water quality management strategies, past and present estuarine water quality challenges, and water quality monitoring and assessment. Their participation in this workshop helped provide input for the NC Coastal Habitat Protection Plan revision to develop collaborative management strategies to preserve and improve water quality suitable for SAV growth in NC coastal waters.
