Equipment Used
Soutargrab

Purpose
To establish two reference areas in which no dumping has taken place with three primary goals:
1. Develop and test traps for sampling benthic fish and shellfish,
2. Evaluate the ability to sample potential target species,
3. Obtain specimens from reference stations to provide a baseline of contaminants and radionuclides from clean areas for later comparison with possibly contamintated areas.
Information to be Derived
Sediment size, biological and sediment collection data, radionuclide
analysis, trace metals and organics analysis
