Abstract:

Since 1984, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Status and Trends Program has monitored, on a national scale, spatial and temporal trends of chemical contamination and biological responses to that contamination. Temporal trends are being monitored through the Mussel Watch Program, which analyzes mussels and oysters collected annually at about 200 sites. Spatial trends have been described on a national scale from chemical concentrations measured in surface sediments collected by both the Mussel Watch and Benthic Surveillance Projects from 240 sites distributed throughout the coastal and estuarine United States.
