THE BUZZARDS BAY PROJECT US Environmental Protection Agency Massachusetts Executive Office of WQP-2100 Environmental Affairs John F Kennedy Federal Building 100 Cambridge Street Boston. MA 02203 Boston, MA 02202 FOREWORD In 1984, Buzzards Bay was one of four estuaries in the country chosen to be part of the National Estuary Program. The Buzzards Bay Project was initiated in 1985 to protect water quality and the health of living resources in the bay by identifying resource management problems, investigating the causes of these problems, and recommending actions that will protect valuable resources from further environmental degradation. This multi-year project, jointly managed by United States Environmental Protection Agency and the Massachusetts Executive Office of Environmental Affairs, utilizes the efforts of local, state, and federal agencies, the academic community and local interest groups in developing a Master Plan that will ensure an acceptable and sustainable level of environmental quality for Buzzards Bay. The Buzzards Bay Project is focusing on three priority problems: closure of shellfish beds, contamination of fish and shellfish by toxic metals and organic compounds, and high nutrient input and the potential pollutant effects. By early 1990, the Buzzards Bay Project will develop a Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan to address the Project's overall objectives: to develop recommendations for regional water quality management that are based on sound information, to define the regulatory and management structure necessary to implement the recommendations, and to educate and involve the public in formulating and implementing these recommendations. The Buzzards Bay Project has funded a variety of tasks that are intended to improve our understanding of the input, fate and effects of contaminants in coastal waters. The Project will identify and evaluate hi
