Abstract:
"In February 2014, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced the designation of Manell-Geus Watersheds as a Habitat Focus Area because it is valuable as a natural resource to the coastal community of Merizo. As a Habitat Focus Area more resources are dedicated to the development and implementation of watershed management plans and conservation actions. To implement effective watershed management practices, it is important to a) have a better understanding of the available information about the watershed, b) have baseline information of the hydrologic conditions (ie., stream flow, stream level, turbidity, and precipitation over time) and, c) understand the behavior of the watershed. This is a progress report for on-going work on the Geus River Watershed. This study was funded by NOAA through the University of Guam Water and Environmental Research Institute (WERI) via the Guam Bureau of Statistics and Plans, Guam Coastal Management Program."
