| dc.description.abstract | The San Juan Bay Estuary (SJBE) is an important natural coastal
resource which comprises several types of habitats, five lagoons, and the
largest mangrove forest in Puerto Rico: the Piñones Commonwealth
Forest. During the last one hundred years, humans have altered the SJBE
extensively by dredging, filling, and by the discharge of domestic and
industrial wastes. The hydraulic characteristic of the Laguna San José
(LSJ), its dynamics and nitrogen loads are not completely understood. A
preliminary simple box model (according to Land-Ocean Interaction in the
Coastal Zone-LOICZ guidelines) is proposed to calculate the water
budget for the LSJ. Our overall goal is to develop a N budget for the LSJ.
This research is relevant to the management and restoration efforts of the
SJBE. | |
