This is the Gulf of Mexico Integrated Science archived website. 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, Florida, as a pilot study. The success of this project was founded on coordination of a multidisciplinary team of USGS scientists with key Federal, State and local agencies.
