ABSTRACT

Sediment samples are collected for biological and geochemical analyses to determine whether treated sewage effluent discharged through the Sand Island Ocean Outfall has an effect on the benthic fauna in the surrounding area. The 2000 Data are compared with Data from previous years to determine whether any statistically significant change has occurred in the measured biological parameters.
