Coastal waters are of enormous value for Canada, yet this value is being increasingly diminished by poor water quality. Innovative field experiments will be combined with computer modeling to generate new understanding of the movement and transformation of pollutants in coastal environments. The program will produce novel insights needed to tackle major contamination challenges including the contribution of groundwater discharge to degrading coastal water quality, and the contamination of fresh groundwater resources. Innovative regional-scale assessment tools will be developed to support management decisions and thus protect coastal water resources from further damage as coastal development intensifies and the climate changes.

沿海水域对加拿大具有巨大的价值，但这一价值正因水质差而日益减少。创新的实地实验将与计算机建模相结合，对沿海环境中污染物的运动和转化产生新的认识。该计划将产生解决主要污染挑战所需的新见解，包括地下水排放对沿海水质退化的贡献，以及新鲜地下水资源的污染。将开发创新的区域尺度评估工具，以支持管理决策，从而保护沿海水资源免受沿海开发加剧和气候变化的进一步破坏。
