Calcasieu Estuary Initiative
Investigation Reports and Data You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader, available as a free download, to view files marked as PDF. See EPA's PDF page to learn more about PDF, and for a link to the free Acrobat Reader.
The
project database was updated in September 2002 to include the Phase 2
biota data. The database includes the results of the recent estuary sampling
in addition to the historical sediments. The database is available for
download along with two software programs, Query
Manager and Marplot, 
to
query and view the data. Several
documents have been assembled for the Calcasieu Estuary Initiative, and
more will be added as the Initiative continues.
