Overview
Grant Description
This project will:
1) Characterize the debris field, bottom type, and variability of the physical environment.
2) Quantify DDT+ exposure in the deep basin and on the continental slope resulting from sediment resuspension.
3) Validate an oceanographic model of the Southern California Bight region against observations and use the model to identify the factors that impact DDT+ exposure risks within the region.
4) Conduct chemical sediment mapping to determine the location and disposition of DDT+ wastes that were short dumped en route to dumpsite 1.
4) Conduct a systematic inventory of DDT+ in biota.
5) Examine trophic transfer of DDT+ through biota in and around the deep waters of dumpsite 1 and 2.
6) Understand the effect of DDT contamination on the structure and function of the benthic biota and the roles of fauna in contaminant redistribution and trophic transfer.
7) Identify the benthic biota to the highest degree of accuracy and establish a specimen and DNA database to be used as a baseline.
