Narragansett
Bay Survey 1997-1998
As a follow up to the Narragansett Bay Project described above, NOAA supported
an additional broad survey of Narragansett Bay sediments approximately ten
years after the initial survey was completed. The purpose of this second
study was to provide additional and more detailed information relating historical
and current land patterns in coastal communities with inputs of organic and
inorganic contaminants to the Bay ecosystem. The range of sampling
locations was expanded to include areas not sampled in 1988, including southeastern
salt ponds. In addition, 20 of the original Narragansett Bay Project
sites were resampled to provide information regarding changes in sediment
quality over a 10-year time period. Data from this study is unpublished
at this time, and is not available to the public. However, additional
data will be added to the website in the future, and publications are
planned.
