Professor Cheng,

Your email was not working, in that we sent you our abstract a number of times, but it was rejected. So, we decided to post our abstracts here.

Hi Professor Cheng,

Here’s our abstract– exactly 75 words.

Jamaica Bay may disappear within four years if nothing is done to protect it. The major cause of marsh loss has been excess nitrogen loading by Water Pollution Control Plants. It has decreased oxygen levels and increased sulfide, toxic to Spartina alterniflora, resulting in rapid loss. The DEP should not delay plans to improve WPCPs and implement methods at the plants that reduce the amount of nitrogen being dumped. Nitrogen should be its first priority.
