DOWNLOAD EBOOKUsing relatively few Federal dollars, the EPA's Clean Lakes Program has been a resounding success in its first 17 years. It has involved many thousands of enthusiastic volunteers, & dramatically improved the quality of several hundred lakes across the U.S. This review explains why the program has been so successful, examines its effects, & details lessons learned from the program & how they can be applied to other environmental management initiatives. Four principles form the base for this success: local involvement -- & commitment; state management; matching funds; & good science. Photos. Charts & tables.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKEnvironmental problems in coastal ecosystems can sometimes be attributed to excess nutrients flowing from upstream watersheds into estuarine settings. This nutrient over-enrichment can result in toxic algal blooms, shellfish poisoning, coral reef destruction, and other harmful outcomes. All U.S. coasts show signs of nutrient over-enrichment, and scientists predict worsening problems in the years ahead. Clean Coastal Waters explains technical aspects of nutrient over-enrichment and proposes both immediate local action by coastal managers and a longer-term national strategy incorporating policy design, classification of affected sites, law and regulation, coordination, and communication. Highlighting the Gulf of Mexico's "Dead Zone," the Pfiesteria outbreak in a tributary of Chesapeake Bay, and other cases, the book explains how nutrients work in the environment, why nitrogen is important, how enrichment turns into over-enrichment, and why some environments are especially susceptible. Economic as well as ecological impacts are examined. In addressing abatement strategies, the committee discusses the importance of monitoring sites, developing useful models of over-enrichment, and setting water quality goals. The book also reviews voluntary programs, mandatory controls, tax incentives, and other policy options for reducing the flow of nutrients from agricultural operations and other sources.
