NOAA's National Status and Trends
NS&T is comprised of three nationwide programs, Benthic
Surveillance, Mussel Watch and Bioeffects that are designed to describe
the current status of, and detect changes in, the environmental quality
of our nation's estuarine and coastal waters through environmental
monitoring, assessment and related research. In addition, NS&T has
also completed special studies designed to help assess the environmental
impacts of various events. Benthic Surveillance was discontinued in
1993. The other programs are still active.
