EPA SCIENCE SUB-COMMITTEE
The Science Sub-Committee contributes scientific data and interpretation that can be used by the Steering Committee and the public at large to drive sound decision-making in the watershed. The greatest value of the Science Sub-Committee is the opportunity for scientists, technical staff and decision makers from Federal, State, and Watershed Groups, Universities and other NGOs to share information collaborate on projects and to exchange the latest scientific information that relates to water quality in the Mystic River Watershed. The activities of the Science Sub-Committee culminate with an annual meeting for scientists to present recent findings on the watershed. The agendas and presentations of the meetings are presented below.
