These reports use water quality data to summarize:</p><ul><li>How tidal water quality (e.g., total nitrogen, total phosphorus, dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll-a and secchi depth) has changed over time,</li><li>How and which factors may influence water quality change over time, and</li><li>Recent research connecting observed changes in aquatic conditions to its drivers.</li></ul>
