| Table 4. Soft - sediment studies conducted in Long Island Sound which have centered on either dynamics of specific populations, responses to specific types of disturbances, sediment / organisms interactions or are syntheses of previous work. This list is only a sample of these types of studies; see also Lewis and Coffin (1985) or contact the CT DEP LIS ResourceCenter (Univ. CT Avery Point Campus, Groton, CT). | |
