Abstract:
Potentially toxic elements (PTEs) pose a threat to human health as they can easily enter human body via ingestion of polluted soil/sediment. In order to estimate bioavailability and access health impact on people, measurement of the oral bioaccessibility of a contaminant is crucial. Various laboratory based in vitro tests which mimic human gastrointestinal tract conditions can be used. In order to set up the method for analysing bioaccessibility of contaminants in soil samples in Laboratory for the analysis of geological materials at Department of Mineralogy, Petrology and Mineral resources (Faculty of Mining, Geology and Petroleum Engineering, University of Zagreb - RGNF), with regards to the available equipment, an orientation survey was carried out in collaboration with the Department of Biochemical Engineering (Faculty of Food Technology and Biotechnology, University of Zagreb - PBF). The digestion of two different samples in synthetic fluids (gastric and intestinal fluid) was performed simultaneously at RGNF laboratory and PBF laboratory under different extraction conditions according to each laboratory’s ability. Prior to analysis of bioaccessibility, detailed mineralogical and chemical characterization of samples was performed. The comparison of two experiments showed that there is a relatively good correlation between concentrations obtained after digestion of samples in different labs, under different conditions. As a result of this study, an efficient and relatively inexpensive method for determining the bioaccessibility was set up at Faculty of Mining, Geology and Petroleum Engineering, which makes this kind of tests more accessible and enables new approach in risk assessment studies.

Abstract:
People with disabilities are a ‘disadvantaged’ group, not only due to their impairment, but also due to the formal and informal institutional inertia that they contend with in Western Societies. This disadvantage has been recognised and acknowledged in the social model of disability. This model understands that disability is a social construction placed on people with impairments. The Health Impact Assessment (HIA) is a tool which identifies inequities in policy, and is potentially a useful tool to aid the response of policy makers to the needs of people with disabilities. Arguably, the New Zealand HIA guidelines reflect the underlying principles of the social model of disability. Using a mixed methods research strategy, this thesis sets out to understand in a global context using a top-down quantitative analysis, to what extent the New Zealand HIA guidelines which acknowledge the social model of disability are translated into practice. It then subsequently investigates from a bottom-up qualitative perspective, what factors influence this relationship. It is argued in this thesis that there are barriers to translating the rhetoric about people with disabilities found in the HIA guidelines into practice. Three sets of inter-related barriers identified include attitudinal barriers to people with disabilities, generic HIA barriers, and barriers related to the feminist interpretation of the construction of disability. In this thesis, the research findings conclude that it is difficult to operationalise the disability awareness present in the HIA guidelines due to barriers which are related to the ‘othering’ of people with disabilities. This is discussed in relation to feminist analyses of the construction of people with disabilities, and it needs to be addressed by wider societal reforms. The thesis makes the recommendation that a national awareness-raising campaign about people with disabilities be undertaken in New Zealand in an attempt to rectify this situation.

Abstract:
Quantifying uncertainty in environmental health impact assessment models is important, particularly if the models are to be used for decision support. This thesis develops a new non-probabilistic framework to quantify uncertainty in environmental health impact assessment models. The framework takes into account two different perspectives of uncertainty: conceptual and analytical in terms of where uncertainty occurs in the model. The first perspective is concerned with uncertainty in the framing assumptions of health impact assessment, whereas the second perspective is concerned with uncertainty in the parameters of a model. The construction of the framework was achieved by focusing on five specific objectives: (i) to describe the complexity of how uncertainty arises in environmental health impact assessment and classify the uncertainty to be amenable for quantitative modelling;(ii) to critically appraise the strengths and limitations of current methods used to handle the uncertainty in environmental health impact assessment; (iii) to develop a novel quantitative framework for quantifying uncertainty from the conceptual and analytical perspectives; (iv) to formulate two detailed case-study examples on health impact assessment of indoor housing interventions; (v) to apply the framework to the two case-studies. After critiquing the uncertainty quantification methods that are currently applied in environmental health impact assessment, the thesis develops the framework for quantifying uncertainty, starting with the conceptual uncertainty (uncertainty associated with the framing assumptions or formulation of the model), then quantifying the analytical uncertainty (uncertainty associated with the input parameters and outputs of the model). The first case-study was concerned with the health impact assessment of improving housing insulation. Using fuzzy cognitive maps, the thesis identifies key indoor factors and their pathways highly sensitive to the framing assumptions of the health impact assessment. The second case-study was concerned with estimating the uncertainty in the health burdens in England, associated with three ventilation exposure scenarios using fuzzy sets and interval analysis. The thesis presents a wider uncertainty framework as a first step forward in quantifying conceptual and analytical uncertainty in environmental health impact assessment when dealing with limited information.

Abstract:
There is an increasing number of international migrants worldwide and in Canada. The majority of migrants arrive with a health status higher than the average of their host country. This advantage is often lost within ten years of migration due to various reasons, most notably through the social determinants of health. These determinants are the conditions in which individuals live and work and the most relevant to migrant health include racialization, education, employment, housing, social capital, and gender. Health impact assessment (HIA) is a process with the capacity to address changes in health due to the social determinants of health by assessing the intended and unintended impacts on health that a policy, program, or project might have and recommend ways to promote positive and mitigate negative impacts. For this reason, HIA has the potential to address the observed decrease in health experienced by migrants. Various frameworks have been developed to guide the undertaking of HIA including frameworks explicitly aiming at addressing health inequities by considering particular socially disadvantaged population groups. One such example is the Health Equity Impact Assessment (HEIA) tool developed by the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. Although there have been a few studies addressing the inclusion of inequities in HIA in general, there has been no previous assessment of the inclusion of migrants in HIA. This doctoral thesis sought to assess the degree and way in which migrants are included in HIAs globally and across various types of HIAs and contexts. It also sought to assess the degree to which migrants were considered in local initiatives through an examination of the implementation of the Ontario HEIA tool in public health units. A scoping review of the international literature including 117 HIAs and two HIA evaluations found that only 14% of hand-searched HIAs mentioned migrants, 5% analysed migrants and only 2% included them in their recommendations. Although migrant groups were sometimes included in the process, this was seldom the case for citizens. The main reported barriers to considering migrants were a lack of available data and the significant additional resources needed. In order to undertake an evaluation throughout the province, it was first necessary to assess the way in which the Ontario HEIA had been implemented and used by public health units across the province. The scan found that nearly half of public health units had used the HEIA tool either in its original form or modified to the needs of the unit. The use of the tool was found to be influenced by the following factors: the available inputs or resources, the nature of the HIA tool, the actors and stakeholders involved, the decision-making processes within the unit or team involved, the context of the social, economic, and political environments, the nature of the project, program, or policy being assessed, and lastly, the various outputs of completing the HEIA process. Lastly, a Process and Impact evaluation assessed the way in which PHUs with a high proportion of migrants considered these migrants in their HEIAs. This study found that although migrants had been included in HEIAs, this tended to be done when the impact on migrants was anticipated. Additionally, there remains an incoherent terminology accompanied by a confounding of the concepts of migration, racialization, and ethnicity, which are reflected in the type of recommendations developed. These recommendations often focused on translation of documents into various languages and the acquiring of greater information through community partnerships. The process and capacity to include migrants in HEIAs were influenced by the availability of resources and evidence, the prioritisation of recommendations relating to migrants, and the overall impressions the staff had on the HEIA process. Nonetheless, the HEIA process was beneficial in that it strengthened relationships with migrant community organisations. This thesis work also resulted in the development of a HIA-specific theoretical framework based on the literature and empirical findings of this work. This framework is conducive to adopting a tactical approach to HIA by considering the various contextual factors influencing the completion of an HIA and implementation of its recommendations. In conclusion, although migrants are understood to be an important group often facing circumstances of disadvantage, they are only sometimes considered in HIAs. Several procedural and contextual barriers are encountered which influence their consideration. Significant guidance is still required to facilitate their adequate consideration and ensure the development of optimal recommendations. HIA frameworks should explicitly mention migrants as a potentially disadvantaged group and guidance documents could be developed to address the current gaps in understanding migrant issues.

Abstract:

Stakeholder engagement in a health impact assessment (HIA) is a way to involve communities in the decision-making process of a proposed project or policy. Research conducted on the proposed Wishbone Hill Coal Mine (WHM) in Alaska sought to identify if participants felt the stakeholder engagement process used in a recent HIA was able to respond to cultural differences and inequitable distribution of health impacts. Using a qualitative methodology, 12 interviews were conducted with individuals who participated in the WHM HIA. Results indicate that existing issues of trust between the general public, Alaska Native peoples, and the government impact how the findings of an HIA are received by stakeholders. Recommendations were developed from the research findings and are intended to support continued public trust in the use of HIA in the State of Alaska. Recommendations include ensuring HIA practitioner competencies when working with communities, and implementing transparent stakeholder engagement processes.

Abstract:
Urbanization processes are ongoing. Some aspects of urban life such as a sedentary lifestyle, the risk of traffic incidents, high levels of air pollution, noise and heat, and a lack of green spaces can have detrimental effects on our health and well-being. Despite consensus that these exposures related to urban and transport planning affect our health, there is little quantification of these health risk factors in the urban context. Quantitative health impact assessment (HIA) can provide numeric indices of health risk factors and can inform the health benefit-risk tradeoff of public policies. The present thesis sheds light on the utility of quantitative HIA in urban and transport planning policies. Almost 3,000 premature deaths, over 50,000 disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) and over 20 million € in direct health care spending were estimated to be attributable to current urban and transport planning practices in Barcelona, Spain annually. The present thesis suggests that overwhelming motor transport fleets in cities need to be reduced through (1) the promotion of active transport (i.e. walking and cycling for transport in combination with public transport), facilitated by for instance the expansion of cycling networks and (2) the reinforcement of green spaces. Active transport together with green spaces, were assessed to provide considerable net health benefits through increases in physical activity levels and mitigation of motor transport-associated emissions of air pollution, noise and heat. The present thesis concludes that HIA is a useful tool for quantification of anticipated health impacts of public policies and more extensive application of HIA is encouraged.
Algunas de las características de la vida urbana como el estilo de vida sedentario, el riesgo de sufrir accidentes de tráfico, los altos niveles de contaminación atmosférica, el ruido, el calor y la falta de espacios verdes pueden tener efectos perjudiciales en nuestra salud y bienestar. Aunque se sabe que estas exposiciones afectan nuestra salud, existe poca cuantificación de estos factores de riesgo en el contexto urbano. Las evaluaciones del impacto sobre la salud cuantitativas (HIA por sus siglas en inglés) proporcionan datos sobre los factores de riesgo en la salud e información del equilibrio entre beneficio y riesgo de las políticas públicas. Se estima que cada año casi 3,000 muertes prematuras, más de 50,000 años de vida ajustados por discapacidad (DALYs por sus siglas en inglés) y más de 20 millones de € de gastos directos en el sistema de salud que son atribuibles a las actuales políticas urbanas y de transporte en Barcelona, España. Esta tesis sugiere que el tráfico rodado en las ciudades necesita ser reducido mediante (1) la promoción del transporte activo (caminar, ir en bicicleta, transporte público), facilitada p.ej. por la expansión de la red de carril de bicicleta, y (2) con el aumento de los espacios verdes. Se estimó que el transporte activo y los espacios verdes proporcionan considerables beneficios netos para la salud a través del aumento de la actividad física y de la mitigación de las emisiones de contaminantes atmosféricos, ruido y calor asociadas al transporte motorizado. La presente tesis concluye que la HIA es una herramienta útil para la cuantificación anticipada de los impactos en la salud de las políticas públicas y se recomienda una aplicación extensiva de esta metodología

L’Évaluation d’Impact sur la Santé (EIS) est un instrument de support à la décision, pour juger une politique quant aux effets potentiels sur la santé et leur distribution (équité). C’est encore souvent une approche qualitative.L’objectif principal est de montrer l’utilité de méthodologies statistiques quantitatives multivariées pour enrichir la pratique d’EIS, améliorant la compréhension des résultats par des professionnels non-statisticiens.Les futures réformes des systèmes de santé déplacent le centre d’évaluation des services de santé des fournisseurs aux citoyens (besoins, préférences, équité d’accès aux gains de santé), exploitant big data associant information de soins aux données sociales, économiques et de déterminants de santé. Des méthodologies statistiques et d’évaluation innovantes sont nécessaires à cette transformation.Les méthodes de data mining et data science, souvent complexes, peuvent gérer des résultats graphiques compréhensibles pour amplifier l’usage d’EIS, qui deviendrait ainsi un outil précieux d’évaluation de politiques publiques pour amener les citoyens au centre de la prise de décision
Health Impact Assessment (HIA) is a decision-making support tool to judge a policy as to its potential effects and its distribution on a population’s health (equity). It’s still very often a qualitative approach.The main aim here is to show the usefulness of applying quantified multivariate statistical methodologies to enrich HIA practice, while making the decision-making process easier, by issuing understandable outputs even for non-statisticians.The future of healthcare reforms shifts the center of evaluation of health systems from providers to people’s individual needs and preferences, reducing health inequities in access and health outcomes, using big data linking information from providers to social and economic health determinants. Innovative statistical and assessment methodologies are needed to make this transformation.Data mining and data science methods, however complex, may lead to graphical outputs simple to understand by decision makers. HIA is thus a valuable tool to assure public policies are indeed evaluated while considering health determinants and equity and bringing citizens to the center of the decision-making process

São necessárias metodologias estatísticas e de avaliação inovadoras para esta transformação.Métodos de data mining e data science, mesmo complexos, podem gerar resultados gráficos compreensíveis para os decisores.

Abstract:
Introdução: A Avaliação de Impactos à Saúde (AIS) é adotada em vários países como estratégia para abordar os potenciais impactos à saúde relacionados a políticas, planos, programas ou projetos, mas não é ainda utilizada no Brasil. Objetivo: Identificar as condições brasileiras que podem corroborar com vantagens e limitações da AIS já descritas na literatura internacional, considerando sua aplicação futura no Brasil, especialmente no caso de projetos. Métodos: Revisão da literatura científica e de outros documentos internacionais sobre AIS, identificados através de bases de dados (Pub Med e Science Direct), e de portais especializados, para entender o contexto e compilar vantagens e limitações da AIS. Revisão da literatura científica nacional e de outros documentos sobre avaliação de impactos e saúde, identificados através das bases de dados LILACS, SCIELO e outros portais brasileiros que tratam desses temas. Pesquisa qualitativa complementar com profissionais e pesquisadores brasileiros. Resultados e discussão: A AIS ainda está se desenvolvendo no mundo, por isso há vantagens e limitações igualmente importantes associadas aos seus indutores; ao objeto da avaliação (políticas, planos, programas ou projetos); à fase em que é conduzida (prospectiva ou retrospectiva); aos patrocinadores e avaliadores; ao tipo de AIS adotada; à sua institucionalização; à integração a outras formas de avaliação de impactos (AIA ou AAE); à abordagem em saúde, ao escopo e aos métodos adotados; à participação das partes afetadas e a sua influência no processo de tomada de decisão. No Brasil, os estudos que abordam os impactos à saúde são frequentemente retrospectivos e a abordagem de saúde na AIA apresenta lacunas. Os poucos estudos prospectivos ainda não utilizam as ferramentas e passos da AIS. O Ministério da Saúde vem articulando o processo de introdução da AIS no país. Conclusões e Recomendações: Há oportunidades para introduzir a AIS de projetos no país. Entretanto, é urgente o engajamento dos profissionais brasileiros da área de saúde e de avaliação de impactos com as redes de profissionais nacionais e internacionais, visando aprimorar a discussão e prepará-los para enfrentar questionamentos à AIS eventualmente levantados por aqueles que veem no processo de avaliação de impactos obstáculos para a eficiência e rapidez da tomada de decisão sobre projetos. É também preciso organizar padrões mínimos para que não sejam reproduzidos no Brasil problemas já vivenciados e solucionados em outras localidades
Introduction: Health Impact Assessment (HIA) is adopted as a strategy to address the potential health impacts associated with policies, plans, programs or projects in various countries, but not yet in Brazil. Objective: To identify the Brazilian conditions that can contribute to HIA advantages and constraints already described in the literature, considering its future adoption in Brazil, particularly in the case of projects. Method: Review of scientific literature and other documents on HIA, identified in Pub Med and Science Direct, as well as in HIA websites, in order to understand the context and compile HIA advantages and constraints already described in the literature. Review of Brazilian scientific literature and other Brazilian documents on impact assessment and health, identified through LILACS and SCIELO databases as well as other Brazilian web sites that address the subject. Additional qualitative research with Brazilian stakeholders. Results and discussion: HIA is still developing worldwide. Due to that, there are equally important advantages and limitations associated to its drivers, its object (policies, plans, programs or projects), when it is conducted (prospective or retrospective), HIA sponsors and assessors, HIA types, if HIA is institutionalized, if it is integrated with other forms of impact assessment (AIA, SEA), its approach to health, its scope and methods, the participation of affected parties and its influence to decision making. In Brazil, health impact assessments are frequently retrospective and do not adopt HIA tools and its steps. The Brazilian Ministry of Health is working to introduce HIA in the country. Conclusions and recommendations: There are opportunities to introduce HIA of projects in the country. However, it is urgent to engage Brazilian health and impact assessment professionals with national and international networks, in order to deepen and improve the discussion and to prepare them to face future questioning to HIA eventually raised by those that view the impact assessment process as an obstacle to efficiency in the context of project decision making. It is also necessary to develop minimum standards so that some issues already faced and solved elsewhere are not repeated in Brazil

Abstract:
It is recognised that formal methods for evaluating the effects of development, for example Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), whether at policy or project level, have often neglected the potential effects of development upon human health. It is now understood that Health Impact Assessment (HIA) is a necessary component of planning and decision-making.

Abstract:
An innovative technique to assess structural health just after subjected to impulsive loadings (blasts, explosions, etc.) underdevelopment at the University of Arizona was experimentally verified and is presented in this paper. The authors called it the Generalized Iterative Least Square Extended Kalman Filter with Unknown Input (GILS-EKF-UI) method. The system is represented by finite elements and a Kalman filter-based system identification (SI) technique is used to identify the system. Some of the major characteristics of the method are that it does not require information on input excitation and can identify a system with limited noise-contaminated response information measured at few node points. To implement the Kalman-filter based algorithm, the information on the input excitation and the initial state vector must be available. The authors proposed a two-stage approach. In the first stage, based on the limited measured response information available at the locations of the sensors, a substructure is identified. After the completion of the first stage, the input excitation information that caused the responses and the stiffness of all the elements in the substructure can be evaluated. Then, in stage 2, the Kalman-filter based algorithm is used to identify the whole structure. The experimental verification of the method is emphasized in this paper.

Full text
Abstract:
The objective of this research was to provide recommendations to the Illinois Department of Transportation for updating and revising the “Community Impact Assessment Manual” in accordance with the latest research and practice. The guide incorporated findings from a literature review, a scan of state department of transportation (DOT) community impact assessment (CIA) guidance and manuals, a survey of practitioners from state DOTs involved in CIA, and a series of interviews with those same practitioners to recommend process updates. According to the Federal Highway Administration, community impact assessment can be defined as “an iterative process to evaluate the effects of a transportation action on a community and its quality of life,” which includes elements of health, safety, air quality, connectivity and access, and equity. Six states had publicly available CIA guidance. While all manuals provided basic guidance, some were more detailed in prescribing analytical methods for different types of impacts or provided more structure for conducting the analysis, such as report templates, technical memos, interactive screening tools, field visit checklists, and community context audit forms. According to surveys and interviews with state DOT practitioners, DOTs varied in how or whether they conducted CIA, whether they screened for the need for CIA in advance of conducting it, and what factors they consider when conducting them. A few DOTs had innovative practices with respect to CIA, such as mapping tools, an equity and health assessment, and robust community engagement. The CIA guidance produced as a component to this project constitutes the state of the art in practice, including quantitative and qualitative analytical methods for screening and methods for conducting and documenting CIA. The guidance also emphasizes equity in the assessment process.

Full text
Abstract:
To date, three main studies by Health Management Associates (HMA), the Urban Institute and the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) have provided estimates by state of COVID-19’s impact on health coverage status and eligibility, as well as enrollment in employer-based coverage, Medicaid and ACA marketplaces. Given that assessing this health insurance market impact is important for state insurance regulators, here we provide a comparison between the values from the three studies and the reported ACA marketplace enrollment outcomes in March, April and May from data available for 12 state-based marketplaces.

Full text
Abstract:
The purpose of this assessment is to a) present understandable, science-based, Montana-specific information about the impacts of climate change on the health of Montanans; and b) describe how our healthcare providers, state leaders, communities, and individuals can best prepare for and reduce those impacts in the coming decades. This assessment draws from, and is an extension to, the 2017 Montana Climate Assessment (MCA1) (Whitlock et al. 2017), which provides the first detailed analysis of expected impacts to Montana’s water, forests, and agriculture from climate change. MCA explains historical, current, and prospective climate trends for the state based on the best-available science. The 2017 Montana Climate Assessment did not address the impact of climate change on the health of Montanans. This special report of the MCA fills that important knowledge gap; it represents a collaboration between climate scientists and Montana’s healthcare community and is intended to help Montanans minimize the impacts of climate on their health.

Full text
Abstract:
To date, the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) has considered the impact of its projects on community health and safety on an ad hoc basis. Although the IDB's 2006 Environmental and Safeguards Compliance Policy (OP-703) requires that project teams consider health and safety issues in the context of managing project impacts and risks, no specific guidance currently exists on how to do this. This Community Health and Safety Guidance Note is designed to fill that gap by providing project teams and borrowers with advice on how to systematically identify, prevent, and/or mitigate potential impacts and risks related to community health and safety within the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) process. The Note is intended to help Bank staff, consultants, and borrowers determine if key community health and safety issues have been appropriately addressed for each project. It also includes operational tools to help identify and manage some of the common community health and safety concerns that arise in infrastructure projects.

Abstract:
Identification of fuel poverty and its impact on individuals is a growing social issue. Classifying households using subjective measures of fuel poverty yields different results than when objective measures are used. Moreover, there are assessment-related difficulties in establishing the effects on health and wellbeing, which hinders policy design to tackle this problem. We analyse the influence of several socioeconomic characteristics on self-reported health with special focus on fuel poverty and find that poor housing conditions, low income, material deprivation and fuel poverty have a negative impact on health.

Full text
Abstract:
Efforts in the United States and abroad to address the chronic disease epidemic have led to the emergence of voluntary industry agreements as a substitute for regulatory approaches to improve the healthfulness of foods and beverages. Because of the lack of access to data and limited budgets, evaluations of these agreements have often been limited to process evaluation with less focus on outcomes and impact. Increasing scientific scope and rigor in evaluating voluntary food and beverage industry agreements would improve potential public health benefits and understanding of the effects of these agreements. We describe how evaluators can provide formative, process, and outcome assessment and discuss challenges and opportunities for impact assessment. We explain how logic models, industry profiles, quasi-experimental designs, mixed-methods approaches, and third-party data can improve the effectiveness of agreement design and evaluation. These methods could result in more comprehensive and rigorous evaluation of voluntary industry agreements, thus providing data to bolster the public health impacts of future agreements. However, improved access to data and larger evaluation budgets will be needed to support improvements in evaluation.

Full text
Abstract:
The purpose of this project is to provide managers at the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources (MDMR) with the scientific information needed to accurately address public concerns regarding the potential effects of the Louisiana Coastal Master Plan / Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA) Mid-Breton Sediment Diversion (MBrSD) on the jurisdictional waters and resources of Mississippi. The stated design purpose of the MBrSD is to reconnect and re-establish the deltaic sediment deposition process between the Mississippi River and the Breton Sound Basin through a diversion that will deliver up to 75,000 cfs of sediment-laden freshwater. The report presented herein provides model-based guidance on the impact that the introduction of the MBrSD will have on salinity conditions in the Mississippi Sound (MSS) and Mississippi's jurisdictional waters that encompass oyster reef locations. Oysters are key ecosystem health indicators and economic drivers for the State of Mississippi and freshwater diversions into the western MS Sound (WMSS) have recently led to significant, unprecedented environmental impacts resulting in oyster mortality. The potential addition of a new pathway for additional freshwater to be introduced into the MSS requires careful assessment of the potential impacts that may be incurred. This project is designed to assess the impact of implementing the MBrSD on the physical environment in the WMSS. The primary aim is to understand the connectivity between MBrSD-derived freshwater input to Breton Sound on the environmental conditions impacting the oyster reefs of the WMSS near Bay St. Louis. A physical ocean modeling system based on the Coupled Ocean Atmosphere Wave Sediment Transport (COAWST) has been used to simulate the circulation and dynamics over the entire MSS with the analysis presented herein focusing particularly on the western to central MSS. This project demonstrates the importance of applying modeling-based scientific research and the capability of physical ocean circulation models for assessing aquatic ecosystem health, particularly in key oyster reef areas.
