EPA Wetlands Information Hotline
EPA's Wetland Information Hotline is a toll-free telephone service that responds to
requests for information about values and functions of wetlands and options for their
protection. It also serves as a point of contact for the Wetlands Division within EPA's
Office of Wetlands, Oceans and Watersheds to provide a wide range of information. It
has an extensive contact list to direct callers to appropriate regulatory agencies and
provides information on wetlands related documents and accepts requests for certain
wetlands publications. Hours of operation are 9:00 a.m to 5:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.
Toll-free number is: 1-800-832-7828.
Exotic Species Information Center
This Center provides services to government and international agencies, industry,
educators and students, media and the public by providing educational and technical
information about harmful aquatic exotic species. The Center can provide displays, videos,
slides, curricula, training packages, publications, technical reports and bibliographies.
For more information contact Doug Jensen at: Minnesota Sea Grant, 2305 East Fifth Street,
Duluth, MN 55812; tel. 218/726-8712; fax. 218/726-6556 or email: djensen@mes.umn.edu
OTA Aquaculture Background Papers and Contract Papers
As you may recall Congress had requested the Office of Technology Assessment (OTA) to
conduct a full assessment of U.S. aquaculture. To complete its task, an Advisory
Panel was formed, workshops were held and a series of papers were contracted to serve as
sources of information for the final report. This task was not completed because
Congress eliminated OTA as of September 29, 1995. Two Background papers were developed
from this effort, Current
Status of Federal Involvement in U.S. Aquaculture ((OTA-BP-ENV-170) and Selected
Technological Issues in U.S. Aquaculture (OTA-BP-ENV-171) in addition to a series of
contracted papers. The two Background papers and selected contract papers are available
from NTIS. To order call 703/487-4650 or for rush orders call 1-800-553-NTIS. You can
place order with a credit card. To request an order form or more information call
703/487-4679 or fax 703/321-8547.
