Volume 3, Issue 1 [Download pdf] ContentsSpecial Section: The Bay Window Program • The Bay Window Program: Monitoring and Assessing Changing Fisheries Yields, Ecology, and Water Quality in Narragansett Bay The cooperative approach of the Bay Window Program, a collaboration of the R.I. Department of Environmental Management (RIDEM), University of Rhode Island (URI), Roger Williams University, Brown University, the Narragansett Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (NBNERR), and NOAA Fisheries, has meant that the best of Rhode Island marine science is applied to support management actions for the health and sustainability of marine resources and critical environments of the Bay. Results are documented in this special section of 41° N: A Publication of Rhode Island Sea Grant and the URI Coastal Institute. • How Are the Fish Doing? • Sensors Monitor Water Quality in Narragansett Bay • Eutrophication in Narragansett Bay • Mariner Shuttle: Cutting Edge Technology Circling the Bay • Integrating the Effort: The Rhode
