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. This report presents the findings of the third year of this project. 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 resource provides information on the methods used, the results & discussion (including specific results on metal and organic contaminants), and conclusions. John Sowles is the person who did the main preparation for this document.
