Abstract
The purpose of the Galveston Bay Indicators Project is to identify quantitative measures that meet certain criteria and summarize significant portions of the data relevant to the health of Galveston Bay. The information on Galveston Bay is voluminous. However, the relationships among different parameters are not well documented and the relative significance of different parameters to the viability of the bay's ecological systems is not well understood. These gaps need to be filled to provide measures that will indicate for managers and policy makers the progress, or lack thereof, toward a healthy and sustainable Galveston Bay system.
