I need help getting a paper on estuaries!

I need help getting access to a published paper on estuaries. My girlfriend needs it to work on a paper of hers. We've found everything else on various free sites, but this one we're having no luck. Since it's just one paper, I was hoping someone here was a subscriber to one of the sites it's at. (Specific details inside)
The paper is:
"Submerged aquatic vegetation in the mesohaline region of the Patuxent Estuary: past, present, and future status." R.M. Stankelis, M.D. Naylor, and W.R. Boynton. Estuaries. 2003. 26 (2A):186-195.
It looks like the official site it's at is: Estuariesandcoasts.org, but you need a login to access the full text.
Anyone a subscriber that could help out for this one report?

Contact your local librarian (at your university, preferably). This is what they do.

Response by poster: The school has a library, but it's in a different city (she's a part time student at the DC campus of Hopkins). I've been trying to find it through the online library, but haven't had luck yet. Thought I'd try here, too.

Best answer: This may be a working paper version of the final published paper, I don't know. But working papers often don't differ that much from the final paper. At least, it will get everyone started.
See p. 91 of the text itself or p.103 in the pdf page count.

Response by poster: That's an awesome link bim, thanks!
I'd still appreciate if anyone has a copy of the final paper, but this is real real close (hopefully close enough for her).

Being originally from Maryland, I want to see the waterways cleaned up. Everyone has been "down the shore."
And I LOVE oysters which have been having a hard time in recent years. :)

maybe you could email the first author, Bob Stankelis (RM Stankelis), asking for a pdf? I think the email address on this page is likely the same person:

Depending on how long you have before you need it, most scientific article authors will provide reprints of the article to those who ask.
You could try calling the institution the primary author works for and asking if they'll get you a reprint.

It doesn't look like JHU subscribes online to Estuaries.
If she's in DC proper, can she get to any of the following schools that subscribe to the paper version of the journal and just photocopy the required article?
GWU (last 5 years available)
Howard (1983-present available)
Library of Congress
National Academies, George E. Brown lib.
