| Comments: | The Long Bay Hypoxia Monitoring Consortium is supporting water quality and biological monitoring at three fishing piers on the Grand Strand. The consortium was established by a resolution of the Coastal Alliance signed in August 2011. The Coastal Alliance is comprised of the mayors from the coastal municipalities of the Grand Strand, including the cities of Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle Beach, the towns of Surfside Beach and Atlantic Beach, and the unincorporated areas of Horry County. Funding for the monitoring at the Apache Family Campground and Pier, the Second Avenue Pier and the Cherry Grove Pier is being provided by the cities of Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach, and Horry County. The pier owners and operators are providing essential support services. Coastal Carolina University.s Environmental Quality Lab, under the aegis of the Burroughs & Chapin Center for Marine and Wetland Studies, is responsible for equipment installation, maintenance, and data management. This was the group who made the initial discovery of low dissolved oxygen levels in July 2004, while performing unrelated field work at Springmaid Pier. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration maintains a federally funded weather and tide station at Springmaid Pier. |
