NESDIS sea nettle forecast has been heavily utilized by the Chesapeake
Bay recreational community since its inception; it is linked from
numerous web sites, including the NOAA Chesapeake Bay Office Coastal
Prediction Center web site. Additionally, researchers in integrated
ecosystem management (including studies funded by the NOAA Chesapeake
Bay Office) are including the effects of sea nettles as zooplankton
predators in trophic models of Chesapeake Bay, and are extremely
interested in estimating and forecasting sea nettle abundance.</td>
