Purpose
|
To sample and groundtruth the 1993 Acoustic data especally the sidedscan sonar
|
mosaic of the seafloor of Mamala Bay over the US Corps of Engineers Deep Ocean
|
dredged material Disposal Sites used by Pearl and Honolulu Harbors. Use box core
|
samples to determine the chemical and physical effects and anthropogenic stresses
|
placed on the seafloor and near-surface substrate of Mamala Bay, Honolulu, Oahu,
|
Hawaii. The samples will be used to determine the toxicological and chemical
|
effects of dredged material disposal on the ecosystem as well.
|
Follow-up surveys addreessing the infauna will be conducted in 1995.
|
|
Summary
|
71 box core stations occupied in Mamala Bay, Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii
|
with 65 recoveries. Cores photographed and slab taken from cores also x-rayed
|
for structure. Dredged material visible in many cores on and off the disposal
|
sites. Subsamples collected for toxicological analyses and anthropogenic
|
effects including: extractable heavy metals, organics, inorganics, pcb's,
|
pesticides, mineralogy, grain size, total- organic- and carbonate carbon.
