          EPA Resources for Non-Profit Organizations
          http://www.epa.gov/epahome/nonprof.html105:S.1146:.html
          
          The United States Environmental Protection Agency has introduced 
          a web site for members of the non-profit community to find EPA 
          resources specifically of interest to their organizations.  This 
          site is part of a larger effort coordinated by the White House 
          Public Liaison and announced by Vice President Gore in a press 
          conference Tuesday, September 16.  The EPA site features 
          information to assist non-profits in getting informed and 
          involved in environmental issues; accessing data and
          information about environmental conditions; and finding Agency 
          programs and contacts for their activities.

          In response to recent fish kills and other diseased fish catches 
          in Maryland, North Carolina and Delaware, the Chesapeake Bay 
          Program has created this page for the latest information about 
          Pfiesteria piscicida, implicated in the recent fish kills.  
          Pfiesteria piscicida is a one-celled microorganism referred to by 
          scientists as a toxic dinoflagellate.  The site includes fact 
          sheets, daily updates, health facts and information from current 
          press articles.

          The Water Quality Information Center at the National Agricultural 
          Library, U. S. Department of Agriculture, has developed a page of 
          linkages to material covering Pfiesteria piscicida as well. 
          Linkages are made to information from the Maryland Department of 
          Natural Resources, North Carolina Department of Environment and 
          Natural Resources, and other organizations dealing with
          the recent concerns of this microorganisms' affect on aquatic 
          life.
