STOCK DEFINITION AND GEOGRAPHIC RANGE The coastal morphotype of bottlenose dolphin is continuously distributed along the Atlantic coast south of Long Island, New York, to the Florida peninsula, including inshore waters of the bays, sounds and estuaries. Except for animals residing within the Southern North Carolina and Northern North Carolina Estuarine Systems (e.g., Waring et al. 2007), estuar...

This article provides an overview on the status of remote sensing and Geographical Information System (GIS) applications in developing landscapelevel environmental indicators for estuarine ecosystem assessment. These broadscape indicators are related to near-shore water quality, submergent aquatic vegetation, coastal wetlands, as well as watershed landscape structure and pattern. Slightly diffe...

By means of the physical process-based modeling approache to computing coastal and estuarine hydrodynamic and morphodynamic processes, an integrated model system was developed to simulate tides, waves, currents, winds, sediment transport, and morphological changes in coastal and estuarine regions. This paper presents an overview of this integrated morphological process modeling system consistin...

Sterols and triterpenols present in sedimentary cores from 12 stations along the Cananéia-Iguape estuarine-lagoonal system were investigated by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS). Ten sterols and three triterpenols were identified and quantified, indicating both natural and anthropogenic sources. The relative distributions of sterol and triterpen...

This paper describes an artificial intelligence (AI) system for estuarine model design. It is created by the combination of case-based reasoning and genetic algorithm techniques. This application aims to make the utilisation of complicated and expensive hydrodynamic models flexible, cost-effective and accessible to non-specialists. By organising the available knowledge of estuarine modelling in...

Estuarine fish assemblages are subject to a great environmental variability that largely depends on both upstream fluvial and downstream marine influences. From this ecohydrological view, our study introduces a macroecological approach aiming to identify the main environmental factors that structure fish assemblages among European tidal estuaries. The present paper focuses on the influence of l...

West Palm Beach (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. Understanding the circulation and exchange rates of water masses in an estuary is critical to understanding the movement and recruitment patterns of planktonic propagules and...
