Timeline of activities.

Recent Progress

NOAA began work on this project in January 2008. Since then, NOAA's team has:

  • assessed existing data from the area to determine data gaps,
  • researched the history and environmental setting of the site,
  • discussed the project with numerous stakeholders,
  • conducted a site visit,
  • developed and refined and sampling and analysis plan, and
  • secured contracts for boats and equipment to assist with field sampling and for laboratory analytical services.

Next Steps

NOAA staff are in the field in July to collect sediment and tissue samples. The analytical laboratory data should be available by November. NOAA will complete a written data report summarizing the study findings in early 2009.
