New Hampshire Estuaries
Microbial Source Tracking (MST)
Type: Stressors
affecting habitat (i.e., which sources have contributed to its degradation
and whether they are direct or indirect factors).
Category: Submerged and intertidal
Cost: $20,000/year
Description: A method of MST - ribotyping - will be used
to identify sources of fecal contamination in estuarine waters through
use of DNA fingerprints for source contaminants. Objective is to
incorporate ribotyping into water quality monitoring in order to
inform management actions.
Outcome: Information not provided.
