  • Description:
    According to several assessments by various government and state agencies, the Great Bay Estuary is undergoing stress as is witnessed by the closing of more than half its shellfish beds in nearly a decade. Although most sewage treatment plants have been upgraded to at least secondary treatment status, coliform counts are high in some portions of the rivers and the bays. There is potential for increased nutrient-​loading, oil spills, and toxic pollution from resuspended solids and from several Superfund sites at the former Pease Air Force Base. This annual report contains data and observations for 1995.
