Description:As development flourishes on North Carolina's coast, so does the number of proposed marinas. Many of these marinas are planned near waters used for harvesting oysters, clams and other shellfish. Prospective marina operators must ensure specific water quality standards will be met before they can obtain a permit. Predicting that a certain marina design will satisfy these standards is difficult; many factors must be taken into account. Researchers from North and South Carolina are developing a predictive water quality impact model. To that end, in 1985 they studied two marinas for six days over the Labor Day holiday to document the relationship between boat use and water quality during a period of peak boat use. Their findings are reported here in detail in both text and tabular form.
