comments received and amend the ICR

will issue another Federal Register

Abstract: Researchers at the EPA’s
Office of Research and Development
(ORD), Atlantic Ecology Division (AED)
are piloting an effort to better
understand how reduced water quality
due to nutrient enrichment affects the
economic prosperity, social capacity,
and ecological integrity of coastal New
England communities. This project
proposes a survey to collect data for a
case study of changes in recreation
demand and values due to changes in
nutrients in northeastern coastal waters.
This includes the development of
methods and tools for estimating
recreational values that can be applied
in other locations, either by EPA
researchers, EPA’s regional offices or
state partners. Our initial geographic
focus for these efforts will be Cape Cod,
Massachusetts (‘‘the Cape’’; Barnstable
County), and New England residents
within 100 miles of the Cape. We focus
on Cape Cod and its surrounding coastal
areas both in order to limit the scope of
the work to remain feasible within our
research budget and to coordinate this
socio-economic analysis with extensive
ecological research being conducted on
the Cape by ORD researchers,
researchers at EPA’s Region 1 office, and
other external research groups. Cape
Cod is also in the midst of an extensive
regional planning effort related to its
coastal waters, and this research can
provide helpful socio-economic
information to decision makers about
the use of those waters. Because the
100-mile radius from Cape Cod includes
a large area of southern New England
and the largest population centers in
New England, the results will be more
broadly applicable to residents of
southern New England.
One of the key water quality concerns
on Cape Cod, and throughout New
England, is nonpoint sources of
nitrogen, which lead to ecological
impairments in estuaries, with resultant
socio-economic impacts. The decisions
needed to meet water quality standards
are highly complex and involve
significant cross-disciplinary challenges
in identifying, implementing, and
monitoring social and ecological
management needs. We will focus on
understanding recreational uses as
valued economic goods in coastal New
England (including beachgoing,
swimming, fishing, shellfishing, and
boating).
