Résumé :	This study identified drivers of change in Barnegat Bay-Little Egg Harbor Estuary, NJ, USA over multiple long-term time periods by developing an assessment tool (an "Eutrophication Index") capable of handling data gaps and identifying the condition of and relationships between ecosystem pressures, ecosystem state, and biotic responses. The Eutrophication Index integrates 15 indicators in 3 components: (1) water quality, (2) light availability, and (3) seagrass response. Annual quantitative assessments of condition and its consistency for three geographic segments range from 0 (highly degraded) to 100 (excellent condition). Eutrophication Index values significantly declined (p 1,200 and 100 and
