| Abstract | Long Description |
This project will investigate sediments from Little Squalicum Creek for contamination and toxicity to aquatic life. Little Squalicum Creek is a small stream in Bellingham, Washington, that empties into Bellingham Bay. It has a history of pollution, including spills from an adjacent wood treating plant. Sediment samples will be evaluated for toxicity using Microtox, amphipod (Hyalella), and midge (Chironomus) bioassays. Results from this study will assist the City of Bellingham in planning an investigation of pollution in Little Squalicum Creek prior to the redevelopment of the area into a community park and trail corridor. |
