OSTI ID:7091781
The Marine EcoSystems Analysis (MESA) Project Development Plan has been jointly prepared by the MESA Program Office and the New York Bight Project Staff and represents the overall plan for project implementation. The plan describes a systematic approach to achieving specifically identified goals and objectives that have been delegated to the Department of Commerce for protection of the marine environment. The overall goals of the Project are to develop a comprehensive understanding of the processes and interrelationships of the ecosystem and to determine the fate and effects of pollutants and other man-related stresses on the New York Bight. More specific goals include planning for future actions such as monitoring of the Bight, oil and gas development, offshore nuclear power generation, and the development of alternatives to existing waste disposal strategies.
