Polynuclear Hydrocarbons In Sediments And Clams In The Vicinity Of A Refinery Outfall, P. O. Defur, M. E. Bender, C. W. Su, Et Al

Reports

The objectives of this study were:

1) to determine whether substances present in refinery process water are found in adjacent sediments and bivalves

2) to determine the concentrations of compounds detected

3) to identify compounds that may have adverse effects on marine animals or their human consumers.

Assessment Of Economic Heavy Minerals Of The Virginia Inner Continental Shelf, C. R. Berquist, C. Hobbs

Reports

The Virginia Division of Mineral Resources and the Virginia Institute of Marine Science jointly made three cruises over the Virginia continental shelf in April and July of 1985 to sample known heavy-mineral sites for minerals of potential economic and/or strategic value. In addition to sampling, side-scan sonar and sub-bottom profiling surveys were performed at a site off Smith Island. At the Smith Island site, as many as four acoustic horizons were detected within the upper 6 meters of sediment. The uppermost seismostratigraphic layer consists of fine and very fine sand and contains the higher concentrations of heavy minerals. There are …

Tributyltin In Whole Water And Sediment Collected From Marinas And The Hampton Roads Area In The Southern Chesapeake Bay : A Final Report, Donna J. Westbrook, Ellen J. Travelstead, Francois A. Espourteille, Charles D. Rice, Robert J. Huggett

Reports

This report presents data gathered in a program designed to monitor tributyltin (TBT) levels in water and sediment from areas in the southern Chesapeake Bay which experience high boating activities. The concentrations reported will hopefully give an insight into the extent and magnitude of TBT contamination in these areas.

A Survey Of Potential Problems Related To Toxic Organic Chemical Contamination Of Aquatic Environments, Carol B. Rideout, Michael E. Bender

Reports

Toxic organic chemicals have affected aquatic resources by (1) restricting harvest; (2) causing biological damage to harvestable stocks; and (3) damaging other biological resources eg. benthic animals and birds.

The York River: A Brief Review Of Its Physical, Chemical And Biological Characteristics, Michael E. Bender

Reports

The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of the York River, Virginia. The river is formed by the confluence of the Mattaponi and Pamunkey rivers at West Point, Virginia. It is tidal over its entire length and flows to the western shore of Chesapeake Bay.
