Grant Description

This project will combine water quality data from NPS and other federal and state agencies with information from park Watershed Condition Assessments to give Gulf Coast parks local, and regional perspectives on water quality issues. On a regional level, the data synthesis will provide NPS with a snapshot of water quality inside and outside park boundaries and a new perspective on ocean and coastal water quality. This better understanding of water quality issues will help parks identify the most effective areas to put their efforts in protecting park water Quality, and areas that will require partnerships with other federal, state and local agencies to address.
