New Hampshire Coastal 2000 - 2002 Gulf of Maine Assessment
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
The US EPA National Coastal Assessment (also known as Coastal 2000 or C2000) is a five-year effort led by the EPA Office of Research and Development to evaluate the assessment methods it has developed to advance the science of ecosystem condition monitoring.
Description
This program will survey the condition of the Nation's coastal resources (estuaries and offshore waters) by creating an integrated, comprehensive coastal monitoring program among the coastal states to assess coastal ecological condition.
Coastal 2000 is being organized and managed by the National Health and Environmental Effects Research Laboratory's Gulf Ecology Division in Gulf Breeze, FL. Sponsor: United States Environmental Protection Agency and New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services The National Coastal Assessment (NCA) is a national monitoring and assessment program with the primary goal of providing a consistent evaluation of the estuarine condition in U.S. estuaries.

It is an initiative of the Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Program (EMAP), and is a partnership of several federal and state environmental agencies, including: EPA's Regions, Office of Research and Development, and Office of Water; state environmental protection agencies in the 24 marine coastal states and Puerto Rico; and the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency (NOAA).
The five-year NCA program was initiated in 2000, and is also known as the Coastal 2000 Program. Stations were randomly selected using EMAP's probabilistic sampling framework and were sampled once during a summer index period (June to October). A consistent suite of indicators was used to measure conditions in the water, sediment, and in benthic and fish communities.
The measured data may be used by the states to meet their reporting requirements under the Clean Water Act, Section 305(b). The data will also be used to generate a series of national reports characterizing the condition of the Nation's estuaries.
