National Coastal Condition 

Assessment 2010 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces the 

availability of the final National Coastal 

Condition Assessment (NCCA) 2010. 

The NCCA describes the results of a 

nationwide coastal probabilistic survey 

that was conducted in the summer of 

2010 by the Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) and its state, tribal, and 

federal partners. Results include 

estimates of coastal area with good, fair, 

and poor biological quality, water 

quality, sediment quality, and ecological 

fish tissue quality. Results are presented 

nationally and regionally for the 

Northeast, Southeast, Gulf of Mexico, 

West, and Great Lakes coasts. The 

NCCA 2010 also includes information 

on how the survey was implemented, 

and future actions and challenges.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information 

To better answer questions about the 

condition of waters across the country, 

EPA and its state and tribal partners 

have embarked on a series of surveys 

under the National Aquatic Resource 

Surveys (NARS) program. The NCCA 

2010 is the most recent in this series of 

surveys. The key goals of the NCCA 

2010 are to describe the ecological 

condition of the nation’s coastal and 

Great Lakes nearshore waters, how those 

conditions are changing, and the key 

stressors affecting those waters. An 

important component of the NCCA is 

collaboration with state, tribal, and 


asabaliauskas on DSK9F6TC42PROD with NOTICES

federal partners in developing new 

monitoring tools and analytical 

approaches and in advancing the 

science of coastal monitoring. The 

survey uses a statistical design to 

sample 1,104 randomly-selected sites 

that represent the condition of the larger 

population of coastal waters in the 

conterminous United States. This is the 

first time the nearshore waters of the 

Great Lakes have been included in a 

national statistically-based survey. 

The report finds that more than half 

of the nation’s coastal and Great Lakes 

nearshore waters are rated in good 

condition for biological and sediment 

quality, while about one third are rated 

in good condition for water quality and 

less than one percent are rated in good 

condition based on the potential harm 

that fish tissue contaminants pose to 

predator fish, birds, and wildlife. 

Excessive phosphorus is the greatest 

contributor to the poor water quality 

rating. Selenium is the greatest 

contributor to the poor rating for 

potential harm to predator fish, birds 

and wildlife from fish tissue 

contaminants. The draft report has 

undergone peer, state and EPA review. 

A. How can I get copies of the NCCA 

2010 and other related information? 

You may access the NCCA 2010 from 

EPA’s Web site at http://www.epa.gov/
