CRC Publications

Welcome to the CRC Publications database. Here, you can search for and access over 150 documents published by the CRC since its founding in 1972, including numerous research project reports, conference proceedings, research synthesis reports, and other original documents produced  by the CRC.  These include, for example, searchable PDF copies of early NSF project reports authored by the CRC's "founding fathers" (L. Eugene Cronin, William J. Hargis, Jr., and Donald W. Pritchard) and their many professional colleagues during the important pre-CBP partnership years (1972-1983).
{Note:  Most publications for the Chesapeake Bay Program Partnership's Scientific and Technical Advisory Committee (STAC) have been published by the CRC since the CBP's creation in 1984.  These publications have been separately cataloged, however, and most are not available here.

Chesapeake Bay Marine Environmental Assessment, 1985 Annual Summary

The Chesapeake Bay 1985 Annual Summary presents a synoptic view of the marine and atmospheric conditions and the direct and indirect impacts of these conditions on the Bay system. The environmental and human use relationships detailed in this reJX)rt indicate the interdependent nature of economic activity and Ratural processes that coexist in the Chesapeake Bay area. This report uses data gathered by scientists in the fields of physical oceanography, marine biology, meteorology, JX)litical science, and economics; it presents a multidisciplinary view of the Chesapeake Bay area. Relationships within and between the different economic sectors are presented in detail where possible. It is hoped that this collection of data will stimulate further investigation by natural and social scientists studying the Chesapeake Bay.

Proceedings of March 1988 Chesapeake Bay Conference

Estuarine research is coming of age in terms of scientific credibility. For years, many scientists engaged in oceanographic or limnological studies considered estuarine research as a spin off or splinter effort of blue-water or freshwater work. Now, the realization is growing that estuaries are unique areas, worthy of focused attention. This recognition comes none too soon. Coastal demographic pressures and readily visible degradation of habitats, living resources, and water quality, have created a strong public outcry to "do something" about coastal and estuarine pollution. The Chesapeake Bay area is fortunate in that estuarine research has been nurtured and encouraged by the regional states, which established laboratories dedicated to estuarine studies of the Bay as far back as the 1920's. In the past decades, interaction of Bay scientists, resource managers, and the public has both nurtured and been nurtured by major federally funded Chesapeake Bay studies. The most recent of these studies was funded through the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and resulted in a coordinated federal, Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and District of Columbia Chesapeake Bay Restoration and Protection Program. This program is considered a model for estuarine management both nationally and internationally.
