Reducing Land Based Sources of Marine Ecosystem Problems
Reducing Land Based Sources of Marine Ecosystem Problems CCICED Roundtable Meeting April 27 -28, 2011
Determinants of Ecosystem Health • Water Quantity – Water resource availability • Upstream diversions • Upstream consumptive uses • Variability in precipitation • Water Quality – Upstream discharges • Municipal and industrial • Agricultural nonpoint sources • Development and use of coastal lands

Efficiency in Agriculture Enhances Resilience of Food Supply System • Water conservation – saves water supply for additional water use in the future, reduces costs • Precision nitrogen fertilizer use – protects local water supplies, reduces costs • Livestock manure management – utilizes nutrients, protects local water supplies
