ECOLOGY OF BUZZARDS BAY: An Estuarine Profile 131 



whom we have collaborated for many years, D. 

 Terkla and P. Doeringer of Boston University who 

 worked with us on the economic impacts of envi- 

 ronmental change for the bay. and J. McDowell for 

 making available technical data on scallop fisheries 

 and pollutants. D. Bourne and B. Livingstone were 

 of great assistance in providing historic texts and 

 their own insights on fisheries and the early days of 

 the bay. Finally, we thank our lab group — S. Brown- 

 Leger, N. Millham, D. Schlezinger, D. White, and 

 M. Zinn — for putting up with us during data gather- 

 ing and writing.
