The Condition of South Carolina's Estuarine and Coastal Habitats During 2009-2010: Technical Report No. 107

This technical report is one of a series planned to provide periodic updated information on the condition of South Carolina’s estuarine habitats. The data highlight the value of evaluating tidal creek habitats separately from larger open water bodies due to significant differences noted in many of the parameters measured. The report also includes newly developed integrated measures of water quality, sediment quality and biological condition to better evaluate overall habitat condition at each site and for the estuarine and coastal waters of the whole state
