This fact sheet provides water monitoring information about site conditions, including water depth, weather, tidal stage, etc.

This fact sheet provides water monitoring information about temperature, including why it's important and how it's monitored.

This fact sheet provides water monitoring information about water clarity and turbidity, including why they're important and how they're monitored.

River water quality degradation is a prevailing problem in coastal China with intensifying human-nature interaction. However, the spatial and temporal dynamics of water quality and their drivers remain poorly understood.

Human society relies on, and interacts with, a diverse assortment of organisms and ecological systems, from the local to the global level. Research and management of these coupled social-ecological systems requires data that speaks to the variety of processes, statuses, and situations defined by them. Effective stewardship is enhanced by interdisciplinary thinking and, critically, access to interoperable data describing human society and governance and ecological and environmental conditions.

This set of fact sheets provides useful information about water monitoring parameters like dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll, and benthic macroinvertabrates.

This report card, produced with Patapsco Heritage Greenway as part of the Chesapeake Monitoring Cooperative, assesses the condition of the Patapsco River using volunteer monitoring data for the third year in a row.

Low dissolved oxygen (DO) conditions pose a persistent threat to aquatic life in coastal ecosystems. In Chesapeake Bay, DO criteria are used to evaluate restoration progress, but traditional assessment methods—such as binary pass/fail outcomes and attainment deficit metrics—can obscure important spatial and temporal variability across tidal segments.

Marine megaherbivores, particularly green turtles Chelonia mydas, graze on tropical seagrasses worldwide and play a substantial role in determining the structure and function of these ecosystems.

The 2025 CCMP is the third in a series of original and revised CCMPs designed to guide the Maryland Coastal Bays Program.
