ABSTRACT

Benthic community structure and fish community structure are monitored quantitatively at sampling stations in the shallow marine environment near the Barbers Point Ocean Outfall for possible effects of treated sewage effluent inshore of the outfall diffuser discharge. The 2001 Data are compared with Data from previous years to determine whether any statistically significant change has occurred in the measured biological parameters.
