Features: Contributed Articles We plan to web-publish various types of information pieces that spotlight science and management topics of broad interest. To get this started, we are initiating the following science and management "e-zine ." We also welcome contributions to this series, as well as ideas, links, and written contributions in other forms. Please send suggestions for new material, links to published stories, or articles for us to consider publishing here. Send these to the Science Coordinator, Danielle Kreeger

About this Series. This is one in a series of short articles contributed to the Partnership for the Delaware Estuary (PDE) by scientists and managers living and working in the region. The purpose of web-publishing these articles is to provide introductory, “leading” information about natural resources, scientific concepts, management issues, and other science activities of current and emerging interest, for which little documented information exists elsewhere. In many cases, articles web-published to this forum will lead to more in-depth scientific publications or studies. Please send suggestions and contributions to the Delaware Estuary Science Coordinator at the Partnership. The Partnership reserves the right to reject any contribution.

Disclaimer : These articles are not subject to rigorous peer review and are not referenced according to standard publication protocols. Any statements and views expressed are those of the author(s), and do not necessarily reflect the statements and views of the Partnership for the Delaware Estuary. The Partnership does not attest to the validity of any scientific information.
