Trident Biological Surveys: Naval Submarine Base Bangor, Washington (1979, 1980 & 1981) Summary Report. Supplement 3

Abstract

Marine biota adjacent to the Naval Submarine Base, Bangor were examined during 1979-1981 surveys. Marine fishes, intertidal molluscs and heavy metals in sediments and selected marine organism tissues were described. The effects of recent construction activities on the Hood Canal marine ecosystem were evaluated. Adverse impact has been limited to physical disruption of biota in the immediate vicinity of construction sites. Certain marine organisms have increased in population size as a result of habitat enhancement. Biotic fluctuations are in synchrony with adjacent areas in Puget Sound.
