*EPA Webinar on Feb. 25 to Highlight Scientific Report Showing U.S. Coastal
Waters a Mix of Good and Fair Health*

Join us on Thursday, February 25 at 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm Eastern for a
Webcast presenting results from EPA’s recently released *National Coastal
Condition Assessment 2010*
<http://www.epa.gov/national-aquatic-resource-surveys/national-coastal-condition-assessment>
report.  This report shows that more than half of the nation's coastal and
Great Lakes nearshore waters are rated good for biological and sediment
quality, while about one-third are rated good for water quality. In almost
all coastal waters, however, contaminants in fish tissue pose a threat to
sensitive predator fish, birds, and wildlife. The National Coastal
Condition Assessment is part of a series of National Aquatic Resource
Surveys designed to advance the science of monitoring and answer critical
questions about the condition of waters in the United States.

The Webcast will provide a brief overview of the National Aquatic Resource
Surveys that provide information on lakes, rivers and streams, coastal
waters and wetlands, and will also highlight the key findings from the NCCA
2010 report. Register for this Watershed Academy Webcast at:
