Publication Year:

Summary: 
In this scientific article in the Journal of Outdoor Recreation and Tourism, researchers conducted surveys of marinas and boaters to estimate sewage production by marina-using boaters. These data allowed estimation of potential phosphorus contributions to Lake Champlain by improperly disposed sewage. Such contributions were negligible compared to other known Lake Champlain phosphorus sources.
