Short Description

This dataset contains historical records generated from analysis of sediment samples collected for the Sediment Component of the Puget Sound Ambient Monitoring Program. Samples were collected at eighty-six stations throughout Puget Sound, Hood Canal, the Strait of Georgia, and the Strait of Juan de Fuca from 1989 through 1995. Records in this dataset include station attributes, grain size data, metal and organic chemistry data, amphipod bioassay data, infaunal invertebrate abundance data, and an infaunal invertebrate species list.

Abstract Long Description

This dataset contains historical records generated from analysis of sediment samples collected for the Sediment Component of the Puget Sound Ambient Monitoring Program. Samples were collected at eighty-six stations throughout Puget Sound, Hood Canal, the Strait of Georgia, and the Strait of Juan de Fuca from 1989 through 1995. Records in this dataset include station attributes, grain size data, metal and organic chemistry data (and data qualifier code information), amphipod bioassay data, infaunal invertebrate abundance data, and an infaunal invertebrate species list.
