The NEMO Website

• We have been working hard to update and organize information on our website, making it more user friendly in the process. One of the more exciting features is our new search engine. http://nemo.uconn.edu/search.htm

• The Reducing Runoff section of our website has been reorganized and we are in the process of collecting more case studies and other useful information. Check the site often for the latest links, Q & A, photos and impervious material information at http://nemo.uconn.edu/reducing_runoff/index.htm.

Future Projects

Two new website sections are in the construction phase and plan to be live by the end of 2003: Focus on the Coast and Impervious Surfaces. The Focus on the Coast section will enable you to take a tutorial on conducting a coastal resource inventory; access state, regional and town information on priority coastal resource areas and coastal land cover; or link to a variety of other sites that can help you protect your valuable coastal habitat areas. The Impervious Surfaces section will have information on using impervious surfaces within the context of natural resource-based planning, research, technical tools as well as other information on measuring and estimating impervious surfaces.

Thanks for your continuing interest,
The NEMO Team
