   Extractions: Research ecologists at NWRC study causes and loss of threatened coastal ecosystems, and investigate how to stabilize, restore, and manage the coastal landscape. Inland grass beds and seagrass beds (some of the most valuable of fish nursery grounds, waterfowl foods, and beach stabilizers) are being diminished worldwide; barrier islands in the Gulf of Mexico will suffer if their seagrasses are lost. Coastal saltwater and freshwater marshes are particularly endangered in Louisiana with losses of 90-130 square kilometers (35-50 square miles) a year. Coastal prairies in Texas and Louisiana have had dramatic losses with only about 1% of the original vast acreage remaining.

   Extractions: Wetlands Ecology and Management is an international journal that publishes original articles in the field of wetlands ecology, the science of the structure and functioning of wetlands for their transformation, utilization, preservation and management on a sustainable basis. The journal covers both pure and applied science dealing with biological, physical and chemical aspects of freshwater, brackish and marine coastal wetlands. The journal aims to encourage the exchange of information between environmental managers, local and national authorities and scientists by providing a forum for papers dealing with scientifically-based management issues around all types of wetlands. Besides original research papers, discussion papers and short reports, the journal will occasionally include invited review papers on topical subjects. Book reviews, notices of scientific meetings and special issues, arising from chosen scientific symposia or workshops, or as a collection of papers on special topics, will also be published.

   Extractions: Harp Wetland Ecology Because of HARP's proximity to the Haw River, we take particular interest in teaching about wetland ecology. The vast number of organisms dependent on the wetland environment are often overlooked and seldom understood. Students at HARP participate in a number of activities to further their appreciation of how the wetland ecosystem effects us all. Students involved in this course will explore the wetland habitat, learn, in detail, about the hydrologic cycle, observe, collect, and identify some wetland species, and participate in a group discussion and review of the wetland ecosystem and its inhabitants.

    Extractions: Aquatic Ecology and Conservation Understanding the biotic structure and function of forested and marsh wetland ecosystems has always been a major focus of the Center. Major research strengths of this program have been in the areas of plant community analysis, wetland delineation, biogeochemical processes, macroinvertebrate and fish community analyses, and development of biotic indices for assessment of water quality. Our lake work has tackled such pressing environmental problems as eutrophication, algal and macrophyte management, acid rain, climate change and exotic species while at the same time continuing to build a strong record of publications on basic ecological questions related to lakes. Throughout our long history, the Center has worked closely with local, national and international conservation groups on questions related to sound management of aquatic resources, including a strong economic and social component.
