EPA RELEASES RESEARCH STRATEGY FOR ECOLOGICAL RISKS
EPA’s Office of Research and Development is making available a report entitled, “Ecological Research Strategy.” The report outlines EPA’s long-term goals and objectives for ecological research to better understand and manage risks to ecosystems. Ecosystems provide essential resources and services such as food, timber, water storage and contaminant removal. The report outlines research plans for important environmental stressors and problems such as mercury, nitrogen, pesticides, global climate change and algal blooms. Much of the ecological research will be in high priority geographical areas such as the Chesapeake Bay, the Everglades, the Great Lakes and the Gulf of Mexico. The strategy is one of a set being prepared to guide EPA’s research in important human health and environmental issues. Other completed strategies address research topics such as drinking water and endocrine disruptors. Copies of the strategies can be obtained through the Internet at: https://www.epa.gov/ORD/WebPubs/final/. Printed copies will be available from ORD’s Center for Environmental Research Information by calling
513-569-7562.
