Status and trends of hydrologic modification, reduction in sediment availablility, and habitat loss/modification in the Barataria-Terrebonne Estuarine System /

Purpose is to evaluate the current status and recent trends in factors contributing to three priority problems : habitat loss and modification; hydrologic modification; and reduction insediment availability. The most striking trend is the massive conversion of land to open water from a combined infl...

Description
Summary:Purpose is to evaluate the current status and recent trends in factors contributing to three priority problems : habitat loss and modification; hydrologic modification; and reduction insediment availability. The most striking trend is the massive conversion of land to open water from a combined influence of factors with sibsidence themost important and most pervasive.
