Abstract

Department biologists, under contract for the State Water Resources Control Board, conducted a survey of the marine environment in the vicinity of the City of Seaside ocean outfall. Survey procedures included benthic grabs, diver observations, bottom trawls, and measurements of water temperature and dissolved oxygen concentrations. Faunal distribution appeared to be more dependent on water depth and substrate type rather than to proximity to the discharge. Water temperatures and dissolved oxygen were normal, however, a surface slick was observed in the immediate vicinity of the discharge. (22pp.)
