Abstract
from the abstract, "The purpose of this investigation was to determine the effects. . .of dredged holes in the seabed of the Lower Bay of New York Harbor on oxygen dynamics in the water column and surficial sediments. . .The results show that the presence of dredged holes affects oxygen demand of the sediments and oxygen concentrations of the overlying waters. . ."
