Abstract:
Working closely with local partners, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is conducting a project in southern Guam to monitor sediments and nutrients in the Ajayan and Liyog rivers, which flow from the Manell watershed and empty into the Achang Reef Flat Marine Preserve in Cocos Lagoon. The current plan is to monitor sediments and nutrients weekly and after storm events over the course of one year. The Laolao River is also being considered, however, it appears this river may not have adequate flow much of the time, but may be monitored after storm events"--Page [1].
