Estuarine and Coastal Habitats Technical Reports

The Estuarine and Coastal Habitats Technical Reports are a collaboration between the Marine Resources Division of the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources and the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control's Bureau of Water that serve to provide periodic updated information on the condition of South Carolina’s estuarine habitats. The goal of the South Carolina Estuarine and Coastal Assessment Program (SCECAP) is to monitor the condition of the state’s estuarine habitats to determine the proportion of the coastal zone that meets desired criteria with respect to water quality, sediment quality, and biotic condition.

    The Condition of South Carolina's Estuarine and Coastal Habitats During 2009-2010: Technical Report No. 107
    (South Carolina State Library, 2013) Van Dolah, Robert F.; Sanger, D. M.; Riekerk, G. H. M.; Crowe, S. E.; Levisen, M. V.; Bergquist, D. C.; Chestnut, D. E.; McDermott, W.; Fulton, M.

    This technical report is one of a series planned to provide periodic updated information on the condition of South Carolina’s estuarine habitats. The data highlight the value of evaluating tidal creek habitats separately from larger open water bodies due to significant differences noted in many of the parameters measured. The report also includes newly developed integrated measures of water quality, sediment quality and biological condition to better evaluate overall habitat condition at each site and for the estuarine and coastal waters of the whole state.

    The Condition of South Carolina's Estuarine and Coastal Habitats During 2001-2002: Technical Report No. 100
    (South Carolina State Library, 2004) Van Dolah, Robert F.; South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, Marine Resources Division; South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control, Bureau of Water; United States Environmental Protection Agency; Center for Coastal Environmental Health and Biomolecular Research (U.S.); U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; South Carolina Estuarine and Coastal Assessment Program
    This technical report is the second of a series planned to provide periodic updated information on the condition of South Carolina’s estuarine habitats. The report describes our findings from the 2001-2002 sampling period and compares conditions observed in those years with conditions observed in the 1999-2000 survey. The report also includes newly modified indices of habitat condition at each site and for the estuarine and coastal waters of the whole state.
