Soncv (Boston University Marine Program, Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole, Massachusetts 02543) Eutrophication of coastal waters by increasing anthropogenic- nutrient inputs is arguably the dominant agent of change to coastal ecosystems (1. 2). The Waquoit Bay Nitrogen Loading Model (WBNLM) was developed to estimate rates of nitrogen loading from watersheds to coastal receiving waters. WBNLM includes inputs from wastewater. fertilizer use, and atmospheric deposition, and defines losses within soil, vegetation, vadose zone, and aquifer (3). Here, we use WBNLM to estimate nitro- gen loads to two subwatersheds of the Waquoit Bay estuary. Eel Pond and Head of the Bay (2), and to verify the model predictions by comparing the model estimates to field measure- Lafayette College, Easton, Pennsylvania.
