Web site design and development was done by Philip Howell and Charles Williamson, with help from Novem Auyeung,
Emily Saarman, and David Murray, Brown University. Additional software programming was done by Philip Howell, Brown University. The survey data were compiled, evaluated, and corrected by Emily
Saarman with help from David Murray, Larissa Korhun and Philip Howell, Brown University. Partial funding for data
processing was provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency through the Coastal Institute of the University of
Rhode Island administered by Peter August under cooperative agreement CP-98195401.
Funds for some of the equipment used for these studies were provided through a grant to the Rhode Island Department
of Environmental Management (RIDEM) from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and funds for
coordination were provided by the Narragansett Bay Estuary Program (NBEP).
We are grateful to Deanna Bergondo, URI, for generously allowing us to use the time series buoy data that she
collected and processed.
We are grateful for GIS help from Lynn Carlson, Brown University.
The outline of the Bay used on the maps was provided courtesy of the RIGIS database
(http://www.edc.uri.edu/rigis).
Our surveys have been dedicated to two of our close colleagues, Dr. Mark Gould of Roger Williams University and
Dr. Dana Kester of the University of Rhode Island (URI), both of whom sadly passed away during these studies.

Beginning in 2005, the summer neap tide daytime effort is coordinated by David Murray (Brown) and supported by
the NOAA Center for Sponsored Coastal Ocean Research, Coastal Hypoxia Research Program (CHRP), NOAA Award
NA05NOS4781201 with additional equipment and personnel support from the NOAA Bay Window Project,
NOAA Award NA05NMF4721253.
Data processing was performed at Brown University by Monica Skeldon and Emily Washington for the 2005 & 2006 surveys, Jesse Farmer for the 2007 surveys, Alicia Barlow, Alex Chuman and Andrea Weber for the 2008 surveys, and Monika Mostowy, Marie Siwicki, and David Murray for the 2009 surveys.
