On-board instruments transmit the data to computers at Duke's Beaufort lab for analysis. Scientists and state officials say data could be used to quantify the relationship between human activities and water quality. New Field Guide from Sea Grant A new publication from North Carolina Sea Grant, Invasive Aquatic and Wetland Plants Field Guide, targets natural resource field personnel and home water gardeners alike. Waterproof from cover to cover, the booklet identifies 21 species of greatest national or regional concern. Entries feature color photographs, line drawings and descriptions of growing conditions and range. Sea Grant and the North Carolina State University Crop Science Depart- ment prepared the field guide as part of a National Sea Grant initiative. In addition to the book, a Web site was developed by the University of Florida's Center for Aquatic and Invasive Plants. Go on line to Copies of the field guide are available for $15.
