Abstract:
PWSRCAC Long Term (oil) Monitoring Program data from mussel tissues, intertidal and subtidal sediments from fixed monitoring sites in Prince William Sound, Outer Kenai Coast and Kodiak, Alaska.
Purpose:
The program has sampled twice a year since 1994 for evidence of hydrocarbons in mussel tissue and sediment samples. In recent years, the program was cut back to just mussel tissue at all sites with subtidal sediments only in Port Valdez (site of Alyeska Marine Terminal's tanker operations). For more complete sampling in Port Valdez, mussels are also collected in October. All samples are analyzed for PAH and AHC; sediments are also analzyed for TOC and sediment grain size.
