St. Croix Estuary Program
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
SCEP's early work focused on surveying the resources of the estuary area, monitoring water quality, and identifying environmental and social issues.
Description
This effort culminated in the development of a Comprehensive Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) for the St. Croix Estuary and surrounding areas.
This document has provided the guidelines for SCEP throughout much of the last decade. Building on a valuable information base, SCEP is now moving towards the establishment of sustainable community developments based on remedial efforts. Current initiatives are focused on establishing criteria for classification and the development of monitoring technology which will give researchers the mechanisms required to measure changes in the Estuary on an annual basis.

With this assessment system in place, SCEP will move to remedial projects designed to restore the Estuary area and enhance economic potential and the quality of life. The intention has always been to use the internet in order to provide a so-called "living document". This effort is now underway with assistance from ACAP, Science Horizons, the International Joint Commission, New Brunswick's Environmental Trust Fund, and HRDC funding.
