- Primary Objective
- To understand the influence of sediment contamination on benthic infaunal communities in a highly tidal and industrial estuary.
- Key Findings/Monitoring Red Flags
- Communties were less diverse, with more pollution-tolerant species in areas with higher metals, and sediment-dwelling marine invertebrates can be affected by sediment quality.
