Description:
Abstract:
This report chapter presents data, maps, and tables of metals in Long Island Sound surface samples collected in 1996-1997. This information is used to: (1) establish a regional baseline for temporal studies of contamination in Long Island Sound; (2) identify areas of high contamination in the Sound; (3) elucidate transport and deposition processes affecting contaminant distributions; and (4) generate predictive and assessment tools for regional management in Long Island Sound and elsewhere
Purpose: Contaminant studies
