Research to Determine the Environmental Response to the Deposition of Spoil on Salt Marshes using Diked and Undiked Techniques.

Abstract

The second year's studies included: water quality changes in relatively polluted areas during dredging; the effects on water quality of dredge spoil impoundment; processes responsible for water quality changes during dredging and after dredge spoil disposal; significant sediment parameters which can be measured that would give some basis for predicting water quality changes during dredging; dredging effects on fish and macroinvertebrates; and effects of dredging on benthic infaunal populations.
