elcome to the Gulf of Mexico Integrated Science Web site. The key to understanding complex estuarine systems lies in understanding the interactions between geological framework and biological, geochemical and hydrological processes. This project was established to develop an integrated science strategy for assessing and monitoring Gulf of Mexico estuaries using Tampa Bay as a pilot study. The success of this project is founded on coordination of a multidisciplinary team of USGS scientists with key Federal, State and local agencies.
