5200 |a"Each fall, small bands of people crunch over cobbles and mussel shells along the Gulf's coast to pull handfuls of blue mussels from their beds. Later they remove the mussels from their shells and bottle the meats. But rather than being stirred into a spicy marinara sauce, these mussels are sent to laboratories to be analysed for trace metals and toxic organic contaminants. The results are entered in a database available to those looking for information about the Gulf's water and sediment quality. All of this activity is overseen by Gulfwatch, the marine environmental monitoring program conducted by a committee of Canadian and US government and university scientists established by the Gulf of Maine Council on the Marine Environment (GOMC). The Council launched Gulfwatch in 1991 to collect and monitor informationon the status of water quality throughout the Gulf, which has been affected by centuries of development and industrialisation"--p. 1.
