Delaware Bay Phase III GRTS Design (2005/2006) Narrative
New Jersey’s two-year GRTS sampling design for years 2005 and 2006 is based on three strata: Delaware River, Delaware Bay East&West, and Delaware Estuary Small Systems. A randomized GRTS design was used to select fifty stations for sampling over two years.
