Abstract
from the introduction, ". . .In carrying out this empirical analysis, we felt that further progress
toward identifying a site for a containment island was limited in part by
inadequacies in the benthic data base available at that time. To eliminate
these inadequacies, we have carried out a regional benthic survey of the Lower
Bay and site specific sampling within each of the three potential contairunent
island areas during 1986-87. The goals of this study were to 1) test the
siting predictions made in Bokuniewicz and Cerrato (1985) and 2) provide
detailed, seasonal information on the current state of the benthic resources
within the Lower Bay and at each potential containment island site. . ."
