Figure 2. Mosaicked image from the
sidescan sonar survey conducted in 1993. This area is a small window near
the Old Honolulu disposal site (OH in Figure 1) in approximately 500 m
water depth. The low-backscatter (dark) material is the native sediment.
The high-backscatter (white) material consists of accumulations of dredged
material offloaded in and near the designated dump site. The circular blobs
are individual loads of dredged material. The 1994 camera survey (blue
lines) retraced some of the tracklines covered in the sidescan-sonar survey.
