| Notes | “This study is an attempt to unfold the important functions of small scale estuarine circulation patterns by using benthic sediments as indicators of marina flushing. Specifically, the research has tried to identify physical parameters that are influential in providing the flushing necessary to preserve a high state of water quality within small estuarine marina basins.” (from the Abstract) The author took sediment samples from 13 marinas along the Oregon coast, and used the sediments to show how well pollutants were being flushed out of the various estuaries. The author ranks the marinas to show which had acceptable and unacceptable levels of pollution. Masters of Ocean Engineering thesis. Major professor was Larry S. Slotta. |
