Project Description: The work described herein will be conducted through close collaboration among the Center for Coastal Studies investigators and National Park Service scientists and managers at Cape Cod National Seashore. This collaborative scientific analysis will lead to a better understanding of water quality throughout Cape Cod National Seashore and provide up to date science to inform water resource management decisions across the landscape. The Recipient will analyze water samples collected by Cape Cod National Seashore natural resource management staff for nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus) and elemental constituents and anions. The results will be provided by the Recipient to the National Park Service. Through scientific collaboration, the water quality analysis will be performed to assess the condition and integrity of Cape Cod National Seashore water resources.
