Purpose
|
1. Collect bottom-sediment samples at an array of stations near the
wreck, and at comparable control stations along the same isobath, to provide a
means of examining the extent of initial contamination in reference to trace
metals (especially copper) and petroleum hydrocarbons, and the potential
biological impact on macroinfaunal communities.
2. Obtain hydrocasts at a limited number of stations (from a subset of the
sediment stations) to collect water samples for the analysis of trace metals
(especially copper).

Summary
|
Bottom sediments were collected with a box corer at an array of eight
stations within a 500-m radius of the vessel and at a control station located
8.25 km to the NW. Subcores from these samples were collected for analysis of
petroleum hydrocarbons and trace metals, benthic macroinfauna, sediment grain
size and total organic carbon. Larger animals were collected from remaining
unused sediment subcores and contained for subsequent analysis of trace metals
in tissues. Hydrocasts were obtained at the control site and one ofthe nearfield
sites, approximately 500 m to the east of the vessel. Samples were collected at
various water depths at each of these two hydrocast stations.
