Every year, the USCG compiles statistics on reported recreational boating accidents. These statistics are derived from accident reports that are filed by the owners / operators of recreational vessels involved in accidents. The fifty states, five U.S. territories and the District of Columbia submit accident report data to the USCG for inclusion in the annual Boating Statistics publication.

Summary
Description
Hydrographic and Impairment Statistics (HIS) is a National Park Service (NPS) Water Resources Division (WRD) project established to track certain goals created in response to the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA). One water resources management goal established by the Department of the Interior under GRPA requires NPS to track the percent of its managed surface waters that are meeting Clean Water Act (CWA) water quality standards. This goal requires an accurate inventory that spatially quantifies the surface water hydrography that each bureau manages and a procedure to determine and track which waterbodies are or are not meeting water quality standards as outlined by Section 303(d) of the CWA. This project helps meet this DOI GRPA goal by inventorying and monitoring in a geographic information system for the NPS: (1) CWA 303(d) quality impaired waters and causes; (2) hydrographic statistics based on the United States Geological Survey (USGS) National Hydrography Dataset (NHD); and (3) special designations recognizing waters of exceptional quality as defined in State water quality standards. Hydrographic and 303(d) impairment statistics were evaluated based on a combination of 1:24,000 (NHD) and finer scale data (frequently provided by state GIS layers). Information on State-designated uses and waters of exceptional quality are only available for a limited number of parks at this time.

Characterizing exposure and potential impacts of contaminants on seabirds nesting at South San Diego Bay Unit of the San Diego National Wildlife Refuge (Salt Works, San Diego Bay)

Summary
Description
In 2005, a twoyear USFWS study 12611N74 was initiated to characterize contaminant exposure by seabirds that nest in colonies at the South Bay Salt Works, within the boundaries of the South San Diego Bay Unit of the San Diego Bay National Wildlife Refuge NWR, CA. This study was conducted in response to observations by seabird colony monitors that black skimmers, in particular have an apparent high incidence of cracked and dented eggs, and posthatch chick mortality. Egg cracking and denting and chick mortality during and after hatching may be contaminantrelated. Concerns were raised, that all of the seabird species nesting at the Salt Works may be experiencing some level of reproductive impairment related to contaminant exposure. This study entailed the collection and analysis of failed eggs of black skimmer, Caspian terns, elegant terns and federally endangered California least terns, and of forage fish that are potentially consumed by seabirds while nesting at the Salt Works. Fifteen skimmer eggs, five Caspian tern eggs, five elegant tern and ten least tern eggs, and 20 composite forage fish samples were collected at the Salt Works during the 2005 nesting season. All of the seabird eggs were evaluated for standard metrics and eggshell thickness. Five composite samples of least tern eggs 2 per sample and individual eggs of black skimmer N15, Caspian tern N5 and elegant tern eggs N5 were submitted to laboratories under contract with the Services Analytical Control Facility catalog 1040073 for chemical analysis. Composite whole body samples of forage fish were submitted for chemical analyses as well. Samples of forage fish included 5 composites of California killifish, 3 composites of topsmelt, and 12 composites of longjaw mudsucker gobiideae. Eggs and fish were analyzed for lipid content, metals, organochlorine pesticides, organotins, polychlorinated biphenyl PCB congeners, and polybrominated diphenyl ethers PBDEs.

NOAA CoastWatch distributes near real time Ekman current (in zonal, meridional, and modulus sets) and Ekman upwelling data. This data begins with wind velocity measurements from the ASCAT instrument onboard EUMETSAT's ASCAT satellite. ASCAT is a microwave scatterometer designed to measure surface winds over the global ocean. NOAA CoastWatch processes wind velocity to wind stress and wind stress curl, and finally to Ekman current and Ekman upwelling.

Difference between the 2006 and partial-development ground-water conditions for the confined aquifer in the Wood River Valley, south-central Idaho.

Summary
Description
The entire population of the Wood River Valley depends on ground water for domestic supply, either from domestic or municipal-supply wells, rapid population growth since the 1970s has raised concerns about the continued availability of ground and surface water to support existing uses and streamflow. To help address these concerns, ground- and surface-water conditions in the area before and during the population growth that started in the 1970s was evaluated. This dataset helps analyze trends in ground-water data, documents 2006 hydrologic conditions, and is used to compare 2006 and historic ground-water data of the Wood River Valley of south-central Idaho. It represents ground-water conditions in the unconfined aquifer during October 2006 constructed from 88 water-level measurements in the main valley and 8 tributary canyons.
