Piti Power Plant Intake Survey, November 1977.
Abstract
A marine environmental field survey was conducted during November 1977 at Piti Power Plant, Guam, Marianas Islands. Descriptive data were obtained for benthic, nektonic and planktonic components of the resident ecosystem. Analysis of survey data consistently suggests that negligible environmental impact is directly attributable to the intake structure design and operation. The marine ecosystem adjacent to the Piti Plant supports a complex and diverse biotic assemblage. An examination of representative important species indicates that many taxa are provided with additional suitable habitat by the intake waterways and associated structures. Tabulations of data collected, checklists of organisms identified and detailed descriptions of marine environmental survey techniques used during the survey are presented in the text and appendices of the report.
