An assessment of contaminants and benthic condition in the Matagorda Bay system (Texas, USA)NARA Subscribed
The Matagorda Bay system has suffered a long-term decline in benthic abundance, biomass, and diversity since the 1980’s. This study examined sediment contamination to determine if legacy pollutants are degrading sediment quality and are a possible cause for ecosystem degradation. Degradation can be indicated by a decline in benthic integrity (i.e., diversity), decreased survival rates of organisms exposed to sediment, and sedi...
