Gulfwatch Environmental Monitoring: Review and Assessment - Preliminary Report to the Gulf of Maine Council. Bruce W. Tripp. 13 June 1997.

In 1989, the Gulf of Maine Council on the Marine Environment endorsed the concept of a Gulf-wide environmental health monitoring project and funded a pilot project consistent with the goals of the Gulf of Maine Environmental Monitoring Plan. The Monitoring Plan is based on a mission statement provided by the Council: It is the mission of the Gulf of Maine Marine Environmental Quality Monitoring Program to provide environmental and resource managers with information to support sustainable use of the Gulf and allow assessment and management of risk to public and environmental health from current and potential threats. This assessment provides feedback on the design and implementation of the Gulfwatch monitoring program, as well as gives preliminary recommendations.
