Smith State Representative, D-DurhamTopic: Monitoring water qualityBACKGROUND: The report is the first major government assessment of the state of the oceansin 35 years. It recommends sweeping changes in the way marine resources are studied andmanaged, citing habitat loss, commercial fishing, polluted runoff and invasive species aspressing issues threatening the coastal areas where half the nation’s population now lives.New Hampshire has more than 230 miles of inland tidal shoreline in addition to 18 miles of openocean coastline on the Gulf of Maine. It is also the fastest growing state in New England,expanding by about 19,000 people every year — many of who move into these sensitive coastalareas. While not everyone lives next to the sea, six of the 10 counties in the state are classified aswetland counties, meaning they contain major rivers and streams that flow into the ocean.
