Land-use survey and impact study of Plymouth Beach residential canal.

Abstract

LimnologyA full examination of the environmental impacts of a man-made canal such as Plymouth Beach would not be complete without considering the land-use of the surrounding area. The general morphology of the canal in itself causes unnatural changes in the wetland ecosystem. By studying the land-use and human impacts on Plymouth Beach canal, I hope to determine possible sources of contamination and high nutrient levels within the canal and the factors which are affecting their concentrations.http://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/89443/1/Weston_Rachel_2011.pd
