                                     FEELD SAMPLING AND LOGISITCS


                      This document provides a detailed description of the sampling sites in
                the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean for the NOAA National Status and Trends
                (NS&T) Mussel Watch Program for Year VIII (Period 2, Phase 3). The report
                contains detailed maps and site descriptions for all sites that have been
                sampled during the first seven years of the program. Locations (Nominal Site
                Centers) provided are the most recent available for a specific site and are based
                on chart data and Global Positioning System (GPS) positions, when available.
                GPS positions have been obtained for approximately 75% of the sites sampled.
                Loran C positions are not available for the Caribbean, therefore only GPS
                positions are provided. GPS and Loran C data are provided in Appendix A.


                SamplingHistory


                      In 1986, GERG undertook the first NS&T Mussel Watch site sampling in
                the Gulf of Mexico. GERG's efficiency in field sampling is attested to by the
                fact that during the course of the past eight years of the project, the Gulf Coast
                field collection effort increased from an initial.50 sites in Year I to 86 sites by
                Year VII. The days in the field which were required to complete the sampling
                decreased  from. 48 days in Year I to 26 days in Year IV, despite the 40%
                .increase in sampling effort. Years II.and III sampling showed similar
                efficiencies, requiring 31 and 30 days respectively. The sampling dates
                established in Year V dictate a time frame during which all subsequent
                sampling will be completed: Texas and western Louisiana sampling           is done
                in December, and sites in eastern Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, and
                Florida are sampled in January. In Year VII we added Puerto Rico, which is
                sampled in February. No new sites were added in Year VIII.
                      The sites from which we have collected oysters in the Gulf of Mexico
                have not been limited to the coastal embayments but have included a number of
                sites which face the open Gulf and can only be reached by long boat transits.
                Stretching from Port Isabel in the lower Laguna Madre of Texas to Bahia
                Honda Key in Florida, the study area encompasses over 1500 straight line
                coastal miles. The actual distance to be traversed is appreciably longer since
                access to many remote areas within the embayments is by circuitous route. A
                single field crew sampling half of the Gulf sites would travel over 8000 miles
                                                         I








                 during a field season. This limited access to the shoreline combined with the
                 very shallow waters of most of the bays (63% of all maintenance dredging in
                 the continental U.S. is done in the Gulf of Mexico) has supported our original
                 contention that the Gulf of Mexico sites are the most difficult U.S. coastal sites
                 to sample.


                 Bivalve Distributional Patterns in the Gulf of Mexico


                       Distributional patterns of molluscan assemblages are dependent on
                 water depth, substrate type, turbidity, salinity, and wave energy. Parker (1960)
                 defined molluscan assemblages along the Gulf coast based on salinity and
                 substrate type. The important inshore, estuarine, and lagunal assemblages
                 are as follows:


                 I .   River Influenced, Low-SaLinity Assemblage - The largest and most
                       abundant bivalves in this assemblage are:


                          Rangia cuneata - Common in beds all along the Gulf coast, large;
                          Rangia flexuosa - Less abundant than R. cuneata;
                          Polymesoda carolinensis - Missing from Mobile, Alabama, east and
                              Matagorda Bay, west and south and
                          Macoma mitchelli - common in most low salinity lagoons and
                              estuaries; small.


                       This assemblage is. characteristic of soft-bottom areas surrounding river
                 mouths, where the salinity is usually less than 1OToo. Typically, the
                 numerically dominant mollusk in this zone is Rangia cuneata. Rangia
                 cuneata, flexuosa, and Polymesado carolinensis have life spans of several
                 years whereas Macoma mitchelli is an annual species. Of the longer-lived
                 species, Rangia cuneata is also the biomass dominant in this assemblage.


                 II.   Delta - Front Distributary and Interdisciplinary Assemblage .- The
                       largest and.most dominant bivalves in these assemblages are:


                          Rangia cuneata - not as abundant as in river influence assemblage;
                          Rangia flexuosa - more abundant in interdistributary bays;
                                                         2








                         Macoma mitchelli - rare;
                         Crassostrea virginica - very abundant in higher salinity
                            interdistributary bays; and
                         Petricolar pholadiformis - common, but small.


               III. Low Salinity Oyster Assemblage - The largest and most dominant
                     bivalves in this assemblage are:


                         Crassostrea virginica - predominates in this zone; and
                         Brachidontes recurvus - at times very abundant.


                     Oyster reefs are abundant where salinities range from 10-3090'0. Most
               oyster reefs are found in relatively shallow waters. Typically, large reefal
               structures are formed at right angles to the dominant current flow. These
               reefs are easily located and are a major geologic feature in most of the bays
               along the Gulf Coast that were included in this study. Crassostrea virginica is
               the biomass dominant as well as the most numerically-abundant large bivalve
               in the assemblage. The mytilid Brachidontes recurvus is          usually found
               associated with oyster reefs. However, it is not as abundant nor as large, and
               it has no previous baseline established in the Mussel Watch programs.
               Furthermore, it rarely occurs in other assemblages where C. virginica is an
               important component.


               IV. High Salinity Oyster Assemblage - The largest and most abundant
                     bivalves in this assemblage are:


                         Anomia simplex - common, but small;
                         Brachidontes exustus - common, attached to oyster valves; small;
                         Diplothyra smithii - rare; and
                         Ostrea equestris - abundant, long lived species.


                     High salinity reefs form near inlets where relatively high salinity water
               (34-36%) is constantly renewed by tides. The substrate is old shell. Ostrea
               equestris is generally abundant and replaces C. virginica when salinities rise
               above 300loo. Over the long-term, drought cycles frequently result in the
               replacement of C. virginica with 0. equestris (and vice versa in wet years)
                                                      3








                 along most of the Gulf coast (Parker, 1960). Thus, this assemblage is
                .effectively identical to the Low Salinity Oyster Assemblage except where
                 salinity causes the replacement of species with other closely related species.
                 In this assemblage, 0. equestris typically is the biomass dominant.


                 V.     Hypersaline Lagoon Assemblage - The largest and most abundant
                        bivalves in this assemblage are:


                           Mulinia lateralis - abundant but small;
                           Tellina tampaensis - moderately abundant; and
                           Anomalocardia auberiana - very abundant


                       Hypersaline lagoons and estuaries are common along the lower Texas
                 coast and have salinities ranging from 40-80,Yoo.           The species in this
                 assemblage are very abundant but are short-lived and small. The numerical
                 dominant in this zone is Anomalocardia auberiana.


                       In the previous EPA Mussel Watch Program,         .genera from the family
                 Mytilidae (the mussels) were used as the organisms of choice.for portions of
                 the geographic range of the mussel watch program. Along the Gulf coast,
                 however, mussels that do occur (i.e., the genera Brachidontes, Lioberus'_
                 Lithophaga, Modiolus, Geukensia, and others) are often too small and
                 frequently not abundant or widespread enough to be considered as target
                 organisms. Previous baseline organisms along the. Gulf Coast for the EPA
                 Mussel Watch Program were all species in the family Ostreidae (viz.
                 Crassostrea virginica and Ostrea equestris). These two species are frequently
                 biomass dominants, abundant and easily resampled from their respective
                 habitats.
                       The American oyster, C. virginica, occurs in intertidal and sub-tidal
                 habitats all along the Gulf coast (Scott and Lawrence, 1982). C. virginica is
                 sufficiently widespread so that it has been able to be collected at the majority of
                 the designated sites. C. virginica typically inhabits coastal and lagunal
                 environments with salinity levels normally varying between 20-30,7oo, although
                 populations at both lower and high salinities are known. Moreover, as shown
                 above, it is one single species common to nearly all the Gulf Coast and is
                 usually biomass dominant where it occurs. The oyster reefs produced by C.
                                                          4








                virginica, which make up the bulk of the sites selected for this portion of the
                NOAA Mussel Watch Program, are permanent and for the most part large
                features which are easily located for sampling and resampling. In addition,
                living oysters usually are abundant on these features and are recruited yearly
                to the reefs; thus, these areas will be able to sustain repeated sampling over a
                ten year plus period with minimum impact on the population structure of the
                reef. Clearly, due to the previous baseline established for this species, its
                abundance, large size, and ubiquitous occurrence along the Gulf coast, C.
                virginica is the target organism of choice.
                     Although C. virginica has a particularly wide salinity tolerance, a few
                areas that have been.designated as sites are outside its range. In areas of low
                salinity which do not support C. virginica, Rangia cuneata is the dominant
                bivalve. R. cuneata is relatively large and abundant. It is the characteristic
                organism of the low salinity assemblage and it occurs in most low salinity
                habitats along the Gulf Coast. R. cuneata is usually found in abundance at the
                sediment-water interface on soft bottoms.
                     We have attempted to find C. virginica in the high salinity bays in the
                lower Laguna Madre between Corpus Christi and Port Isabel with limited
                success. 0. equestris, an ecological equivalent, usually replaces C. virginica
                in these areas. 0. equestris is usually associated with hard bottoms or
                mangrove roots and is abundant and large. It has an established baseline for
                comparison because it previously was used in the EPA Mussel Watch
                program. In addition, it belongs to the same mollusk family (Oestreidae) as C.
                virginica. In most habitats which usually do not support C. virginica, 0.
                equestris can be collected and is the organism of choice.
                     In hypersaline lagoons (i.e., Baffin' Bay, Texas) where C. virginica and 0.
                equestris are absent, Anomalocarida auberiana could be sampled. This
                species is small, yet it is very abundant, reaching population levels of -2000 per
                M2 in some instances.
                     Because of the concerns about species effects, none of the alternate
                species at the sites which do not support C. virginica have been collected to
                date.

                Fieldl.,o&fics


                       Collection and field processing of oyster and sediment samples was
                conducted by GERG utilizing small boats and a portable self-contained
                laboratory (used in Years I - VI) which was specifically equipped for sample
                processing and storage. A field collection crew consisted of two people
                (sometimes three, depending on the site) using a trailered outboard boat. Table
                1 summarizes collection methods and site accessibility. In Years VII and
                VIII, the processing was not conducted in the mobile lab. Samples were
                collected, packed on blue ice, and shipped back to our labs in College Station by
                Federal Express for processing the next morning. Samples from Puerto Rico
                were shipped via American Airlines as perishable items and were received at
                the GERG laboratory in less than 48 hours.
                       The Gulf of Mexico field collections were made in four sampling legs.
                The first leg departed College Station, sampling the -12 sites within a 200 mile
                radius of College Station (Brazos River, Galveston Bay, and as far        east as
                western Louisiana) in a 5-day period. Samples were returned to College
                Station by Federal Express, private aircraft, and/or the returning field crews.
                The next sampling leg was based at Port Lavaca. During this five day period,
                two boat crews completed sampling the -19 remaining Texas sites and
                returned to College Station. Following the Christmas holidays, sampling
                resumed with two boat crews who sampled from central Louisiana, through
                Mississippi, to Alabama. Upon completion of the - 20 sites as far east as
                Mobile, Alabama, the sample crews returned to College      .Station. The last leg
                sampled 24 sites in Florida. After completion of the Gulf sampling, the boat
                crews returned to College Station. In Year VII a fifth sampling leg was added
                in February to sample Puerto Rico, where local fishermen were employed to
                use their boats to take us to collection sites.

                 Logistic Considerations


                       Major logistical concerns in sampling the Gulf of Mexico oyster sites
                 primarily involved access to the variety of sampling sites (and collection gear)
                 and to a lesser degree permitting/politics. In the Caribbean, logistical
                 concerns were much more complex since all collection gear had to be carried
                 aboard airplanes and permitting and regional politics played a much larger
                 role.
                       In the Gulf of Mexico, one major problem concerned accessibility to the
                 oyster sites. Some samples were little trouble to obtain, such as from rock
                 rubble beneath a highway bridge in Galveston, but some were difficult, such as
                 ones that required a 35 mile drive from the nearest motel to the launch, a 15
                 mile boat ride through Louisiana marshes, and 10, miles alongshore in the
                 open Gulf to a site that had to be sampled by dredging. Not only was this
                 situation difficult, but the site was situated within a private lease which
                 extended to all oyster bottoms in the bay system. It was owned by a family who
                 initially met us at the boat launch and who were adamantly against our
                 sampling from their lease. The site was located on what may be the most
                 prolific oyster beds in Louisiana (and, therefore, on the entire Gulf coast), and
                 was exposed to outflow from the entire Atchafalaya drainage basin.
                       Particularly in the Gulf, we had need of. a relatively large, fast and
                 seaworthy boat that had a draft shallow enough to traverse the shallows en
                 route to the site and to get on the reef for sampling.
                       Proper equipment and navigational gear was needed to safely cross the
                 Mississippi Delta area, where landforms and bayous in and around the delta
                 showed essentially no conformity to the most recent NOAA navigatio)jJ,'9'.,1
                 charts, as was verified by our direct experience in the field and from very
                 recent aerial photographs.
                       The other sampling extremes were typified by sites such as Cockroach
                 Bay, which was accessible only with a very shallow draft boat and which
                 required a two mile ride through an uncharted mangrove swamp and across
                 oyster bars, over which the boat had to be dragged even on a flood tide. On the
                 other hand, sites such as Dry Bar in Apalachicola (where dredges were
                 absolutely forbidden) required about a 7 mile run across the open bay in the
                 Boston whaler to a site so shallow that it was collected by hand while wading.


                                                        10









                      The distance between the Gulf sites measured 1500 nautical miles when
                the straight line distances between nearest sites were totalled. However, a
                single boat crew completing half the sites over the range from Laguna Madre
                to Naples drove over 8000 miles in a sampling season because of the limited
                and circuitous routes to launching ramps and sites.
                      In the Caribbean, transportation on land and on the water had to be
                arranged on each island and at each collection site. There were few
                commercial or recreational boat rental sources; therefore, local fishermen had
                to be -located at each collection site for which boats were needed. Local
                fishermen were -sometimes hesitant to take scientists to their oyster harvesting
                areas since they believed that there could be some interference with their

                      Collection of oysters in all the affected states was regulated by state
                agencies. A scientific collecting permit was required prior to collection in
                Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Florida and the Virgin Islands. Prior written
                permission was required in Mississippi. Collections in Puerto Rico were made
                under the University of Puerto Rico permit. Additionally, the preponderance
                of privately leased oyster beds in Louisiana required that we obtain permission
                from the individual lease holders for those -instances where the site was (or
                was thought to be) located in a leased area.
                      Permit applications were submitted to and obtained from the following:

                 Sampling Gear


                        Boats


                        Two boats were used during the course of collection. A 17' Boston
                 Whaler with an 88 hp engine and electric tilt/trim and a 16' Whaler with an 88
                 hp engine provided the greatest versatility and utility in sampling. Each boat
                 was equipped with dual fuel tanks, a VHF radio, Raytheon Loran C, a
                 fathometer, and emergency/safety equipment. A handheld GPS receiver was
                 used on one of the boats during Year VII. The boats were trailered to a launch
                 site near the sampling site. Due to the remote location of several sites,
                 running times of up to 3 hours were required to get from the launch site to
                 sampling sites.

                      Radio Communications


                      All vessels were equipped with CB/VHF marine radios. This allowed us
               to coordinate sampling activities between both boats when they worked
               simultaneously and kept us in contact with the Coast Guard and other vessels
               operating in   the area if emergencies or difficulties arose. It also kept us
               abreast of coastal weather conditions which were broadcasted continuously on
               the VHF weather frequencies.


                      Safety Considerations

                      All boats were equipped with Coast Guard-required safety and
               emergency equipment (life jackets, lights, reserve fuel, first aid kit, etc.). Our
               group conducts extensive field activities, approximately 120 man months on
               oceanographic cruises per year, including over 40 weeks on chartered boats
               that we fully equip and rig out; thus, we were well aware of applicable safety
               considerations and the consequences of failure to prepare for these
               contingencies on a field such as the NS&T program.


               Sample Collection


                      Oyster Collections

                      Oysters were collected by hand, with tongs, or by using a dredge (Table
               1). Collection by hand was the method of choice and was used at intertidal and
               shallow subtidal sites. Loose oysters were simply picked from the reef and
               were separated from attached shell debris or other oysters by using an oyster
               knife or chipping hammer. . In some areas where the use of a dredge was
               prohibited (e.g. Apalachicola Bay), subtidal sites we    re sampled using oyster
               tongs. The oysters were separated from one another by using oyster knives or
               chipping hammers. At the deeper subtidal sites and where oysters were
               obtained directly from commercial oyster fishermen at their privately leased
               sites, the oysters were collected with steel or stainless steel oyster dredges.
               Clumps of oysters and shell were separated to individual oysters as before.

                        Sediment Collections


                        Where water depth permitted, sediments were sampled by hand using a
                 Teflon-coated scoop. Prior to each use the scoop was cleaned and rinsed with
                 acetone and then methylene chloride to remove any trace of residual organics.
                 Spent solvent was collected and returned to GERG for proper disposal. The
                 upper 1 cm of sediment was removed by the scoop and was placed into the
                 appropriate container. In water depths where direct sampling was not
                 possible, a stainless steel box corer mounted on a long pole or on a rope with a
                 messenger was used to bring a sample of the substrate on board the boat and
                 the Teflon-coated scoop was used to remove the top 1 cm subsamples for
                 analysis.


                 Field PhwesAv


                        Salinity and Temperature


                        At every site, the temperature of the surface water was recorded.
                 Salinity was measured either at the site with a temperature compensating
                 refractometer or a sample was collected and returned to the mobile field
                 laboratory where salinities from a number of sites were measured at constant
                 temperature with a calibrated refractometer.


                        Oyster Processing


                        Oysters were processed in GERG's samp     le processing laboratory. Rapid
                 processing of oysters was required because of the coincident collection of
                 histopathological data after collection and prior to freezing'. In addition, the
                 hi stop athological procedure required follow-up handling and immediate
                 cultures which could be achieved only under laboratory conditions. We used
                 this opportunity not only to provide the histopathological data but to provide
                 additional data on relevant bivalve parameters. This process allowed the field
                 collections to proceed efficiently while separating the collection activities from
                 the processing functions.
                        As samples were collected on the boat, they were segregated and labeled
                 according to station and replicated. Efforts were made to retain organisms in
                                                         14








                the same size range for sampling so that organisms pooled for analysis at a
                site and the replicates were of similar age, or maturity. Samples were stored in
                ice chests aboard the boat until the day's sampling was complete. At that time
                they were transferred to Freez-Safe insulated containers which were packed
                with frozen blue ice for shipping. The samples were driven to the nearest
                Federal Express office for next-day delivery to GERG. The processing protocols
                for oysters are shown in Figure 1.
                      Cleaning and Shucking - Oysters were scrubbed free of mud and debris
                whileat the collection site. Pure bristle brushes and water from the collecting
                site were used for cleaning. Oysters destined for organic and histopathological
                analyses were -measured for length and displacement volume and were opened
                and processed in the GERG laboratory.
                      Dissecting and Gonadal Preservation - Twenty oysters from each of
                three sampling stations at every site were processed for histopathological and
                gonadal development study. After the initial displacement volume of the
                washed oysters was determined, they were arranged on a stainless steel tray.
                Each, oyster was measured (axial length) and was opened with a solvent-
                washed stainless steel oyster knife. A complete cross section of gonadal tissue
                was excised from each oyster and was placed into an individual tube of Bouins
                solution. A small snip of mantle tissue was also removed and was placed into
                individual tubes of fluid thiglycolate medium (FTM) for the* determination of
                the incidence of the oyster parasite Perkinsus marinums.
                      Trace Organic Processing - The remaining oyster tissue was excised
                from the shell and was placed into a pint mason jar which had been
                combusted in a muffle furnace to completely remove trace organics. The tare
                and gross weight of the jar -and contents (20 oysters) were recorded on the lab
                form with the individual lengths of the oysters. A Teflon liner was placed
                under the jar seal, and the labeled sample jar (one for each of three stations in
                a site) were frozen in laboratory deep freezers.
                      Trace Metal Processing - A separate 20 oysters from each of three
                stations within a site were washed as above and were set aside in plastic trays
                for metal analyses. The oysters were collectively measured for the initial
                displacement volume. Because of their sharp edges and the need to ensure
                that they remained closed prior to processing, the oysters had to be individually
                wrapped in singlefold paper towel and bound with rubber bands before they
                were double bagged in plastic trash bags, labeled and stored in the freezers.

               All opening and further processing of oysters (measurement of shell length
               and second displacement volume) was done at the analytical laboratories
               under clean room conditions.
                      National Biomonitoring Specimen Bank (NBSB) - Bivalves from five sites
               on each coast were sent to the NBSB. The NBSB archives were housed at the
               National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST, formerly National
               Bureau of Standards). Processing of these samples was conducted in the
               GERG facilities. The processing protocol is depicted in Figure 2. A and B
               replicates were comprised of 10 bivalves each from the three stations at a site
               (30 individual specimens in A and B).
                      The composite sample of 10 oysters from each station was scrubbed
               clean of mud and debris by using the pure bristle brush. The bivalves were
               placed into a teflon bag and care was taken to keep the inside of the bag at the
               point of sealing dry. Air was evacuated from the bag as much as was
               practical, and the bag opening was sealed with the heat sealer. Air-tightness
               of the first seal was checked by depressing the bag and listening for -escaping
               air. The bag was resealed as necessary and a second seal was then made
               about 1/2" out from the first.
                      The sealed bag was then placed into another teflon bag with the sample
               label between the two bags. The sealing process was repeated on the outer bag,
               and the resultant double-bagged sample was placed on dry ice for shipment to
               NBSB. A data form provided by N_BSB was completed for each site and sent
               along with the samples.
                      Shell Preservation - Oyster shells that were processed and opened in the
               laboratory (the sets of 20 for histo, gonadal, and organic analyses) were
               retained and archived for possible future study. This set from each site
               already had the most complete data set (length, wet weight, mantle cavity
               volume, as well as contaminant, histo, and gonadal index) and would be of
               greater value than a set taken separately or for only one parameter. The shell
               pairs were placed into cloth bags (soil sample bags), labeled, and stored in 5
               gallon plastic buckets with ethanol as a preservative.


                      Sediment Processing


                      Sediment processing was essentially completed at the site, whether on
               the boat or on the shore in the case of shore-accessed sites. The processing

               protocols for sediment samples, including those for NBSB archival, are shown
               in Figure 3.
                      Trace Organics and Trace Metals - The separate samples for organics
               and trace metals, contained in a pre-combusted half pint glass jar and a heavy
               duty pint zip-lock bag, respectively, were labeled and assigned a unique
               identifier code. They were shipped to GERG and stored in the freezers until
               analyzed.
                      Grain Size - Sediments collected for grain size analysis were stored in
               zip-lo6k or whirl-pack bags at ambient (above freezing) temperatures. As with
               the previous samples they were labeled with collection and site information
               and given a discrete identifier code.
                      Sediment Ancillary Measurement - Sediment ancillary measurements
               were run on aliquots of the samples taken for organic analyses; thus, no
               additional sampling or processing was required in the field.
                      National Biomonitoring -Specimen Bank - At five sites per coast,
               sediments from all three sites were composited into two replicates (A and B)
               for NBSB archival. The procedure is illustrated in Figure 3.
                      Subsamples from all three stations at a site were combined into a
               composited sample. The subsamples were placed in teflon jars. The jars were
               filled only to within 1/2" to 1/4" of the top to allow for expansion during
               freezing. The label was taped to the outside of the jar, and the sediment
               samples were stored on dry ice for air shipment to NBSB. The NBSB data form
               was completed and sent with the samples.


                      Sample Handling and Chain-of-Custody


                      Sample collection was under the supervision of the field party chief who
               recorded the data and checked off the samples that were acquired against a
               prepared station list. Samples and copies of the data sheets were shipped to
               the laboratory manager at GERG. The lab manager supervised the processing
               of samples in the lab, the labelling, and the storing. The manager also
               prepared an inventory list of samples that were collected and were to be
               transferred. All samples and records were transferred to the Quality Control
               Manager who checked the samples against the prepared station list and stored
               the samples for subsequent disbursement to the different analytical groups
               and final storage.

                      NBSB samples were shipped directly with sample documentation and
               transfer forms that were provided by NIST. A critical part of this transfer
               process was arranging shipment so that the samples did not arrive on a
               weekend and notifying the NBSB contact by telephone of the expected arrival
               time.


               Field Sampling Criteria


                      'Definition of Stations and Sites


                      A site, the smallest geographic unit sampled, was selected to be
               representative of a target area, general location, or bay system. Once selected,
               the site was sampled at the same location each year. Within each site, three
               independent stations were sampled in order to characterize the site. Offshore
               subtidal sites were -400 m radius circles. Latitude and longitude of the site
               was measured at the center of the circle. Shoreline intertidal sites were
               defined as 100 m linear areas along the tidal horizon to either side of the site
               center. Sediment sites were generally coincident with the bivalve sites.
               However, when subtidal bivalve sites did not meet the sampling criteria,
               separate sediment sites were selected. If at all possible, these sites were
               located within 2 km of and exposed to the same water mass as the bivalve site.
               The sequence of events in selection of new sites is shown in Figure 4.
                      Eighty-three (83) sites were established in the Gulf of Mexico and three
               (3) sites in the Caribbean during the first seven (7) years of the NS&T program.
               For the first six years of the study three stations at each site were sampled and
               each station was characterized by three replicate composited samples taken for
               sediment analysis and a composite bivalve sample made up of 20 oysters.
               Selection of the three sampling stations was based on the historical locations
               as described for each individual site in this report. In Year VII the number of
               oysters collected at each of the previously sampled stations was reduced to 20 to
               22. The composite bivalve sample was made up of 7 to 8 oysters from each of
               the three stations.

                       Bivf dve Site Selection CAterla


                       Bivalve sites were initially established according to the following
                 criteria:

                    0  The site shall have indigenous oysters of a suitable size (7-10 cm for C.
                       virginica or C. rhizophore) which are available for collection annually.

                    0  The site shall integrate contaminant accumulation from nearby or
                       surrounding areas and shall be outside the zone of initial dilution of a
                       "dumpsite or point-source discharge.

                       The site should have sufficient bivalves, such that repeated annua
                       harvesting- of 250-400 bivalves will not seriously deplete the resource.

                    ï¿½  The site should be suitable for follow-up sampling (e.g., not anticipated
                       to be be physically disrupted by development activities or dredging).

                    ï¿½  Sampling substrates will be limited to rock (including lip-rap), and or
                       mud (or mangrove roots in the case of C. rhizophorae). Artificial
                       structure such as pilings, and navigation aids will be avoided if possible
                       in order to avoid potential contamination.

                    ï¿½  Provided other criteria are met and where feasible, the bivalve sites
                       should coincide with historical monitoring sites (e.g., USEPA Mussel
                       Watch monitoring sites).
                       Each year the field sampling effort has reoccupied as          many of the
                 historical sites as possible. It has become necessary to relocate or abandon a
                 few of the established oyster sites over the years due to one or more of the
                 following circumstances:

                    ï¿½  Bivalve populations were no longer present.

                    ï¿½  A construction project or dredging activity precluded sampling.
                    ï¿½  Collection of bivalves was logistically impossible or would endanger the
                       field personnel.

                    ï¿½  Permission to sample a site or gain access to a site was denied by a
                       landowner or a leaseholder.


                 When another location was chosen for sampling, a determination was made
                 by the COTR as to whether the new location was considered a minor
                 it relocation" of the'site or whether the new site was significantly different and
                 should have been considered a newly established site. Newly established sites

                       Sediment Site Selection Criteiia


                       In most cases sediment sampling coincides closely to the bivalve
                 stations. Because of the affinity of the target species for and the ubiquitous
                 distribution of depositional zones in Gulf of Mexico estuaries, coincident
                 sediment and bivalve sampling was generally not difficult. The specific
                 criteria for sediment sites were:

                    ï¿½  The site shall be subtidal (never exposed at lowest tides),

                    ï¿½  The site shall be exposed to the same water mass as the corresponding
                       bivalve site,

                    ï¿½  The site should be located as near as possible to and preferably not more
                       than 2 km from the bivalve site,

                    ï¿½  The site shall integrate contaminants from multiple- sources in the
                       surrounding area'but shall not reflect inputs from an individual point
                       source of contamination.

                    ï¿½  Previously sampled or historical Mussel Watch locations (e.g., EPA
                       sites) should be included/reoccupied where possible.


                       Field personnel were responsible for determining the suitability of the
                 sediment sample. Only sites which were      mmally (40 percent) fine sediment
                 (silt and clay) were sampled for sediments. Samples that did not meet this
                 grain-size criteria were not-'6nalyzed for the trace elements and trace
                 organics. Therefore, grain size determinations were made prior to the
                 chemical analysis.

               SamplingSummary


                      Sampling Problems


                      It has been our intent to sample the locations prescribed by NOAA
               during Years I through VII of the program. However, in the field we have
               found that at a few sites, many factors worked against this both in the initial
               first year sampling and then again in the subsequent years when we returned
               to resample the same sites or new sites. Some of the prescribed locations could
               not be used because when we examined them in the field, they did not meet the
               most basic site selection criteria. For example, Bill Days Reef in Espiritu Santo
               Bay was a dead reef in Year I and II and an alternate site at another location
               was substituted. A similar substitution was, made for the Hillsborough Bay
               site in Tampa Bay. South Point at East Cote Blanche was completely devoid of
               living oysters. Since there was,no alternate location which supported oysters
               in the East Cote Blanche area, this site had to be deleted and no alternate was
               substituted.
                      Minor shifts in sampling sites have been required between sampling
               years to accommodate yearly fluctuations in the abundance and availability of
               oyster populations at chosen sites. When these minor changes were required,
               we attempted to maintain the sampling stations as near the        original location
               as possible. We expect this.practice to continue over the course of the study as
               we anticipate recurring problems such as dredge material burying the entire
               reef (CCIC), our inability to relocate our sampling stations on submerged reefs
               in the absence of navigational references or aids in close proximityj the near
               total depletion of public oyster beds by harvesting, disease, and predators
               (MBLR), and the depletion of available oysters attributable to sampling for this
               study (SAW-B and TBHB). Thus, in some instances, it has not been possible to
               return to the precise site locations sampled in the previous year. Ensuring
               continued sampling at the. same stations for all sites will require the relocation
               of some of the prescribed sites perhaps some distance from the original
               selected location.
                      The sediment sites were to coincide with oyster sampling sites,
               inasmuch as fine grained depositional sediments may be co-located with the
               oyster reefs. The primary determining factor in sediment sampling was that
               the sediment contain less than 80% sand or coarser fraction. While we have
                                                       25








                 been unable to devise a method which would confirm this compliance in the
                 field, every effort was made to obtain sediments of as fine a texture as we could
                 subjectively determine. In most cases, this was not a problem, as sediments
                 adjacent to the reef were indeed of fine texture. However, in some cases, it was
                 difficult (e.g., Bird Island in Charlotte Harbor, Mullet Key Bayou in Tampa
                 Bay or the Naples Bay site). These sites, as well as others, were characterized
                 by broad expanses of sand and carbonate sediments. Fine grained silts and
                 muds were either completely absent or confined to dredged canals used for
                 recreational boating quite distant from the oyster collection site. Thus,
                 sediments from some areas will not meet the requirement for being more than
                 20% silt and clay, or they will be so far removed from the oyster site that they
                 .will not represent the integrated, contaminant accumulations to which the
                 oysters have been exposed.
                       Comprehensive sediment sampling was undertaken in Years I, II and
                 III of the study. However, no sediments were analyzed in Year III. In Year
                 IV sediment samples from new Years III and IV sites were analyzed. In
                 Year V, only 13 sediment sites were sampled.' In Year VI, two new sites were
                 sampled for sediment. Sediment collections in Year VII was confined to five
                 newly established sites and PBPH. Sediments were not collected in Year VIII.
                 Table 2 depicts the sediment and oyster sampling at each site during the eight
                 sampling years.


                       Years I and H Sampling Summary


                       Two sites (ECSP and ESBD) were completely devoid of oysters. ECSP was
                 dropped from further consideration due to the lack of a nearby alternate and no
                 chance of oyster. populations being restored at the site. CCIC was substituted
                 .for ESBD, although ESBD was re-checked again in Year Il. CCIC's oyster
                 population was buried by dredged material in Year II; thus, it too was a non-
                 producing site in Year II.
                       The sites at which we had collected oysters in Years I and II, but which
                 may not sustain long term collection due to their sparse populations, included
                 M13LR, TBHB, CBSR, and SAVV`B.
                       Obtaining sediments with less than 80% sand was a problem at a
                 number of sites. This was rectified for some sites in Year 11 by moving further
                 from the oyster site and through more diligent searching. Those sites which
                                                        26








              were unlikely to provide sufficiently fine sediments with environmental
              relevance to the oyster site included CBBI, SAWB, NBNB, TBHB, TBMK,
              TBPB, APCP, and APDB.


                     Year M Sampling Sununary


                     In Year III, twenty sites were added to the original list of 51 sampling
              sites, bringing the Year III site total to 71 sites. Sediments and oysters were
              collected from all of the additional sites, with the exception of LPGO, which
              had no oysters. These new sites are listed below:


                           MBHI    - Mobile Bay, Hollinger's Island
                           CBFM    - Charlotte Harbor, Fort Meyers
                           PBPH    - Pensacola Bay, Public Harbor
                           PCMP    - Panama City, Municipal Pier
                           SWRP    - Suwanee River, West Pass
                           TBOT    - Tampa Bay, Old Tampa
                           BBTB    - Barataria Bay, Turtle Bay
                           CLLC    - Lake Charles, Calcasieu Lake
                           LBNO    - Lake Borgne, New Orleans
                           LPGO    - Lake Pontchartrain, Gulf Outlet
                           MRPL    - Mississippi River, Pass A Loutre
                           MRTP    - Mississippi River, Tiger Pass
                           ABHI    - Aransas Bay, Harbor Island
                           BRFS    - Brazos River, Freeport-Surfside
                           CCBH    - Corpus Christi, Boat Harbor
                           GBOB    - Galveston Bay, Offatts Bayou
                           GBSC    - Galveston Bay, Ship Channel.
                           LMPI    - Laguna Madre, Port Isabel
                           MBCB    - Matagorda Bay, Carancahua Bay
                           MBDI    - Matagorda Bay, Dog Island

                     Four sites in the Lavaca and San Antonio Bay system had no oysters for
              sampling in Year III. Massive die-offs occasioned by excessive freshwater
              runoff into the bays the previous year resulted in no oysters being obtained
              from the SAPP, SAMP, ESSP and MBLR sites. The absence of oysters was
              confirmed in conversations with Texas Parks and Wildlife, who indicated that
              the die-offs were confined to the Matagorda and San Antonio Bays, but that the
              effects were far more widespread than our sampling would indicate. At the
              same time, oysters began to reappear at Bill Days Reef (ESBD), resulting in the
              first collection of oysters from this site.

                        The new site established in Louisiana at Lake Pontchartrain (LPNO)
                 was totally devoid of oysters and could not be established as a site in Year III.
                 Problems in finding sufficient oysters at the Alafia River (TBHB) site in Tampa
                 Bay continued in Year III to the point that all oysters at the site were collected,
                 but not enough were present for all replicates. It was. recommended that this
                 .site be removed or deleted in Year IV because of the continued problem in
                 finding sufficient oysters.


                        Year IV Sampling Summary


                        In Year IV, a total of 67 sites were sampled. The sites sampled included
                 the original list of sites in Years I and II, some sites first sampled in Year III,
                 and seven new sites that were sampled for the first time in Year IV.
                 Sediments and oysters were collected from all of the new Year IV sites except

                 one.
                 below. Those sites deleted from and added to the Year IV sampling are listed

                     Three of the Texas sites, which had no oysters in Year III due to the
               freshwater induced die-off, again   had  no oysters for collection in Year IV.
               These sites were in San Antonio and Espiritu Santo Bays (SAPP, SAMP,
               ESSP). Extensive effort was made to sample the sites, but only a few spat, too
               small and too few for collection, were found. Indications were good that the
               populations would recover sufficiently for Year V sampling. In Year III, the
               Lavaca River site (MBLR) also had no oysters and it was moved in Year IV to a
               more favorable position.
                     The new site designated in the lower Laguna Madre at the Arroyo
               Colorado also yielded no oysters. Further surveys around Port Mansfield also
               came up without oysters. Thus, it was not possible to sample from the new site
               designated in the lower Laguna Madre.
                     Oysters from three stations were collected at all sites where there were
               oysters except at the Pass A Loutre site on the Mississippi River (MRPL). Two
               and a half hours of dredging did not provide sufficient samples for three
               replicate sites of 20 individuals. per site. This low productivity, adverse and
               worsening weather, and one total engine failure combined to result in a short
               site (not enough replicates for all analyses).








                      Year V Sampling Summary


                      Seventy-one sites were sampled in Year V. The original list of Years I
                and Il sites, as well as sites established in Years III and IV, and four new
                sites were sampled for Year V. Sediments and oysters were collected from all
                of the new Year V sites.
                below. Those sites deleted from and added to the Year V sampling are listed

                 replacement sites for sites without oysters.

                      Two of the Texas sites had no oysters in Year V and were not collected.
                These sites were in San Antonio and Matagorda Bays (SAMP and MBGP).
                Sites sampled in place of these two sites were MBCB and CCBH. Two sites in
                San Antonio and Espiritu Santo Bays (SAPP and ESSP) were sampled for the
                first time in two years.








                     In Year IV, an unsuccessful attempt was made to establish a site in the
               Laguna Madre at the Arroyo Colorado. In Year V, oysters were located and
               the site was sampled.
                     One new site was established in Mobile Bay north of the Dog River
               (MBDR). An attempt was made to locate a new site on the east side of the bay
               at Great Point (MBPG). However, no oysters could be found, so the site was not
               established.
                     Another new site in Florida was established at Sabine Point in
               Pensacola Bay south of both of the existing sites. The northernmost site in
               Pensacola Bay at Indian Bayou (PBIB) yielded no live oysters.


                     Year VI Sampling Summary


                     Sixty-four sites were sampled in Year VI. The original list of Years I
               and II,sites were sampled, as well as sites established in Years III and IV.
               Two new sites were established for Year VI. Oysters were collected from all of
               the new Year VI sites, but sediments were only collected at the two new sites.
                     Those sites deleted from and added to the Year VI sampling are listed

                        replacement sites for sites without oysters.


                       Two of the Texas sites scheduled for collection , CCNB and ESBD, had no
                 oysters in Year VI and were not collected. CCBH was checked as an alternate
                 site but it was also devoid of oysters. MRPL was not collected due to sparse
                 collections there last year and extremely high water levels in the Mississippi
                 River during the sampling period.
                       Two new sites were established this year. A previous attempt to collect
                 oysters at Lake Pontchartrain had been unsuccessful. But this year a new site
                 in Louisiana, LPGO, was established in the lower part of Lake Pontchartrain.
                 A second new site was established in the Florida Keys. Oysters were not
                 present in the Keys, therefore an alternate bivalve species (Jewel Box, Chama
                 sinuosa) was collected for analysis.


                       Year VU Sampling Summary


                       Sixty-seven sites were sampled in Year VII. The original list of Years I
                 and II sites were sampled, as well. as some sites established in Years III and
                 IV. Two new sites in Florida and three new sites in Puerto Rico were
                 established in Year VII. Oysters were collected from most of the sites that
                 were sampled during Year VI. Sediments were collected only at the five new
                 sites and one old station in Florida (PBPH).
                       Those sites deleted from and added to the Year VII sampling are listed
                 below.

                     Year VIII Sampling Surnmary

                     Sixty-eight sites were sampled in Year VIII. The original list of Years I
               and II sites were sampled, as well as sites established in Years II, IV, and
               VII. Most of the sites sampled in Year VII were      .sampled again this year.
               Exceptions were when oysters were not present and substitute sites were
               sampled. Sediments were not collected at any sites.

                     Those sites deleted from and added to the Year VIII sampling are listed

                                              TEXAS SITES



            SITE NUMBER - 1                                DESIGNATOR - LMSB

            SITE - SOUTH BAY, LOWER LAGUNA MADRE, TX

            NONIINAL SITE CENTER - 26002.77N               97010.48rW

            LOCATED ON NOS CHART # - 11302

            SITE ACCESS - A tunnel hull outboard fishing boat and captain are generally
            chartered at the White Sands Marina in Port Isabel. In Year IV, a GERG boat
            was launched at the public boat ramp on South Padre Island at the Isla Blanca
            Pier. Travel time to South Bay is about 25 minutes. Landmarks used to locate the
            reef are 145' from the middle of the causeway bridge and 90' from the
            navigational range marker. The water depth is very shallow and requires the uise
            of a shallow draft vessel.

            SITE DESCREPTION - The oysters were located in clumps on expansive intertidal
            mud flats south of Clark Island on the northeast side of South Bay and were fully
            exposed at low tide. The dense clumps were mostly conglomerations of dead
            shells. The few live specimens were small, thin-shelled oysters interspersed
            among the empty shells. The reef contained many dead shells, and collecting a
            sufficient number of suitably sized oysters required searching and picking
            through the clumps of shells.

            OYSTER COLLECTIONS

            Years I, II, & III - There was no significant geographic distinction in the three
                  stations. All three stations were taken from the middle of the reef.

            Year IV - Stations were collected in the same general location but were separated.
                  Station 1 was taken at the north end of the reef just south of Clark Island
                  and adjacent to the Spartina alterniflora marsh.              Station 2 was
                  approximately 75 m. to the south at two small reefs about 10 m apart.
                  Station 3 was at the south end of the reef, 100 m. south of the middle part of
                  the reef.

            Year  V - Oysters were much larger and more abundant than previous years'
                  collections. Stations were on the same reef but were separated. Station 1
                  was on the northeast shoreline. Station 2 was 100-200 m. south (toward the
                  duck blind) from Station 1. Station 3 was another 100-200 m. south.

            Year V1, V11, &V111_ - Oysters were collected at the same locations as sampled
                  the previous three years.









               SE )IMENT COLLECTIONS

               Years 1, 11, & III - Sediments were collected during the first three years of the
                     study. Sediments were taken from the middle (Station 1), west end (Station
                     2), and east end (Station 3) of the reef.

               Years IV, V, V1, V71, & VIII - No sediments were collected during these years.

               SAMPLING METHODS

                     Oysters - hand
                     Sediment - hand

               WATER DEPTH - intertidal, 0.3 m

               POSSIBLE CONTAMINANTS - There were no obvious sources of contamination
               in the vicinity of the reef, although the salinity of the bay was high and the oysters
               endured exposure out of the water for a considerable period during the day.

           SITE - PORT ISABEL, LOWER LAGUNA MADRE TX

           NOAHNAL SITE CENTER - 26004.62'N              97012.05W

           LOCATED ON NOS CHART # - 11302

           SITE ACCESS - Access to the site is by foot from the parking lot at the Queen's
           Point Marina in Port Isabel.

           SITE DESCRIPTION - This collection site, which was established and collected
           only in Year III, was located along the south jetty of the Queen's Point Marina.
           Oysters grow attached to the concrete bulkhead and are exposed at low tide.
           Numerous shells are present but a high proportion of the oysters found here were
           dead and the live oysters were thin-shelled. Careful handling was required while
           collecting to avoid breaking the live oysters. Typically, salinities are high
           throughout the year.

           OYSTER COLLECTIONS

           Year III - Discrete stations were sampled as described below. Station 1 was
                  located on the breakwater extending south from the marina entrance.
                  Station 2 was along the south facing bulkhead. Station 3 was located
                  between Stations 1 and 2.in a cove formed by the two bulkheads.

           Years 1-V, V, VI & V11' - The site was not sampled during Years IV, V, VI, and
                  VIII.


           SEDEVEENT COLLECTIONS

           Year I11- Sediments were collected outside the bulkheaded area opposite Station 1
                  on the side adjacent to the Brownsville Ship Channel.

           Years X, V, VI, VII, & VIII - No sediments were sampled for these years.

           SAMPLING ME7MODS

                  Oysters - hand
                  Sediments - hand

           WATER DEPTH - Intertidal, 0.25 and 0.5 m.

           POSSIBLE CONTAMINANTS - Contamination of the site was possible from
           nearby marinas, the City of Port Isabel, and the Brownsville Ship Channel.

           NOMINAL SITE CENTER - 26016.80'N             97017.30V

           LOCATED ON NOS CHART # - 11302

           SITE ACCESS - Access to the site is by boat launched at the White Sands Marina
           in Port Isabel. Travel up the ICWW to the site. Travel time is 40 minutes.

           SITE DESCRIPTION - This collection site, established and collected for the first
           time in Year V, was located at cabins along the ICWW. Oysters grow attached to
           the concrete pilings and on mud flats which were exposed at low tide.

           OYSTEIt COLLECTIONS

           Year  V - Station 1 was located at the first cabin #1399 (tan with brown trim),
                 which was just north of channel marker 45 and west of Primero Island.
                 Oysters were collected from the concrete piling supporting the cabin.
                 Station 2 was at cabin #1423. The cabin was between channel marker-41
                 and channel marker 43. Station 3 was.located north of channel marker 41
                 at cabin #P1345. Oysters at this station were growing in clumps on the
                 mudflat. Many were very large with smaller more suitably sized oysters
                 attached.

           Year VI, VII, & VIII - This site was not sampled during these years.

           SEDRAEra COLLECTIONS

           Year V - Sediments were sandy silts which were tan on the surface which overlay
                 a black layer mixed with shell fragments and sea grasses. These were
                 collected at the cabins for Station 1 and 2. Station 3 sediments were
                 collocated with the oysters on a -subtidal mudflat.

           Year VI & V11 - No sediments were sampled during this year.

           SAMPLING METHODS

                 Oysters - hand
                 Sediments - hand

           WATER DEPTH - intertidal, 0.3 m

           POSSIBLE CONTAMINANTS - Contamination of the site was possible from
           nearby cabins, a producing gas field just to the south of the sampling area and
           inflow from the Arroyo Colorado.

             SITE - NUECES BAY, CORPUS CHRISTI                TX

             NOAHNAL SITE CENTER - 27-51.17'N                 97021.55W

             LOCATED ON NOS CHART # - 11309

             SITE ACCESS - The site is located at Indian Point Marina on the north end of the
             U.S. Highway 181 bridge that crosses Nueces Bay. There is a boat launch at the
             Gunderlands Boatland. Collection stations are located along the shoreline on the
             north side of the road.

             SITE DESCRIPTION - The site was located 100 in from the boat ramp at bearing
             325'. The bay was very shallow with exposed reefs. These reefs had mainly dead
             oysters. Small thin-shelled oysters were collected along the mud shoreline or on
             pilings. Oysters were intertidal and seemed to be on the decline.

             OYSTER COLLECTIONS

             Years 1, 11 & III - Oyster collection stations were as follows: Station 1 - 145' to boat
                   ramp; 213' to the top of the Corpus Christi bridge. Station 2 - 25' to Portland
                   water tower; 208' to the top of the Corpus Christi bridge. Station 3 - 25' to
                   Portland water tower; 115' to large pilings at Gunderlands.

             Year IV - Oysters were collected in Year IV at the same location as in previous
                   years. The three stations were 40 to 50 m apart. It was noted that the
                   population was more abundant than had been observed in the last two
                   years.

             Year V - Oysters were collected along the shoreline at the same general locations
                   as previous years. Station 1 was adjacent to the boat ramp. Station 2 was
                   50-m to the south and Station 3 was another 50 m to the south toward the
                   bridge.

             Year  V1' - We attempted to sample the same location, but no live oysters of
                   collectable size were available. A few spat in the 1 to 2 cm size range were
                   observed. No samples were collected.

             Year  VII - Oysters were collected along the shoreline in the same general
                   locations as in Year V.

             Year VIII - Oysters were small and extremely hard to find.









                  IDMENT COLLECHONS

              Years I, II, & III - Sediments were collected adjacent to each oyster station.
                     Sediments for the NIST archive were also collected adjacent to the oyster
                     stations.

              Years IV, V, VT VII, & WI1 - No sediments were sampled during these years.

              SAMPLING METHOD

                     Oysters - hand
                     Sediment - hand


              WATER DEPTH - 0.2 m

              POSSIBLE CONTAMINANTS - Contamination factors included the boat ramp,
              marina, Rincon Industrial Park to the west, and Corpus Christi Ship Channel to
              the south.

            SITE NUMBER - 3                                 DESIGNATOR - CCIC

            SITE - INGLESEDE COVE, CORPUS CHRISTI TX

            NOMINAL SITE CENTER - 27050.28rN                97014.28W

            LOCATED ON NOS CELART            11309

            SITE ACCESS - To reach the site a boat is launched at the public boat ramp at
            Ingleside-On-The-Bay. A 5 minute ride across the La Quinta Ship Channel and
            Ingleside Cove is required to reach the site.

            SITE DESCRIPTION - The site was located along the west side of Ingleside Cove
            channel and north of Ingleside Point on the south tip of the spoil island. Oysters
            were located on an exposed reef and on a mud flat that was exposed during
            normal low tides. The site was surrounded by submerged seagrass beds.
            Landmarks to locate the site were Ingleside Point to the south and the dredge
            spoil island to the north.

            OYSTERCOLLECTIONS

            Year I - The three stations sampled for oysters were located on a tidal reef and on
                   a mud flat. Station 1 was at the center of the reef. Station 2 was from the
                   end nearest the shore, and Station 3 was at the south end of the reef.

            Year Il - No oysters were found in Year II and Corps of Engineers surveyors
                   reported that the area had been recently dredged. Oysters were either
                   moved or buried in Year 11.

            Year III - There was no significant geographic distinction in the three stations.
                   Oysters were present again during Year III. Most of the oysters present in
                   Year III were very small and appeared to represent a population that had
                   been newly established since the die-off during Year II.

            Year I-V - In Year IV the stations were the same as those sampled for Year III.
                   Year IV oysters were small and sparsely scattered.

            Years  V, VI and WI - Sampling sites were in the same locations as previous
                   years with Station 1 in the center of the reef, Station 2 toward the shore 75 m
                   from #1, and Station 3 was 70 m south of #2.

            Years  W11 - Only three small oysters were found on this reef, so no samples were
                   taken.









              SEDIME1W COLLECTIONS

              Years I, II, & III - Each year sediment samples were collected 30 m offshore to
                     the west from each of the oyster collection sites. Submerged seagrasses
                     were present in some of the sediments. Sediment samples only (no oysters)
                     were obtained in Year Il at locations sampled in Year I.

              Years IV & VI - No sediments were sampled during these years.

              Year V - Sediments were collected adjacent to each of the oysters stations,
                     approximately 15-20 m offshore. Sediments were primarily sand, shell,
                     and grass with sparse areas of mud.

              Years V11'& WII - No sediments were sampled these years.

              SAMPLING M[ETHOD

                     Oysters - hand
                     Sediment - hand and box core

              WATER DEPTH - 0.3 m intertidal

              POSSIBLE CONTAMINANTS - Contamination was probable from dredging,
              barge traffic in the La Quinta Channel and from a nearby aluminum plant.

           NON[INAL SITE CENTER - 27050.17'N             97022.72W

           LOCATED ON NOS CHART # - 11309


           SITE ACCESS - This site is located on the northeast end of Rincon Point at the
           junction of Nueces and Corpus Christi Bays. The site is reached by exiting off of
           U.S. Highway 181 at Corpus Christi and driving under the bridge as if going to the
           boat harbor north of the Corpus Christi Ship Channel.


           SITE DESCRIPTION - This collection site was established in Year III. The site
           was located under the bridge (Highway 181). Oysters occurred along the shoreline
           and were attached to concrete and brick rubble. There were both single oysters
           and clumps. The bottom was a mixture of sand, shell, mud, trash, and concrete
           rubble.


           OYSTER COLLECTIONS

           Year III - Station 1 was located along the shore in shallow water on the northeast
                  end of Rincon Point directly under the Highway 181 bridge. Station 2 was
                  located along the next 100 m section. Station 3 was located farther east
                  along the shoreline adjacent to a trailer park.

           Year IV - The site was not sampled.

           Year V - Sampling stations were located at the same sites originally established
                  in Year III. This site was collected this year as an alternate site, since
                  oysters were unavailable at another site.

           Year VI - There were no live oysters present at the site this year, therefore no
                  collections were made.

           Years VII & V111 - The site was not sampled.


           SEDDH2qT COLLECTIONS

           Year III - Sediment was collected 10 to 20 m offshore of each of the oyster
                  collection stations.

           Years rV V, V1, -V71 & VIII - No sediment samples were collected at this site
                  during these years.

            SITE NUMBER - 4                               DESIGNATOR - ABLR

            SITE - LONG REEF, ARANSAS BAY TX

            NONONAL SITE CENTER - 28002.96'N               96056.77W

            LOCATED ON NOS CE[ART # - 11314

            SITE ACCESS - The site is located across Aransas Bay almost due east from
            Fulton. To reach the site, launch at the public boat ramp near the harbor. Travel
            across the bay to the ICWW and then turn northeast until channel marker 25 is
            reached. The reef extends from St. Joseph Island into the bay.

            SITE DESCRIPTION - During the first four years of the study, all three stations
            were located on the reef which extended from St. Joseph Island toward channel
            marker 25. Oysters were collected by hand from the exposed intertidal reef wl-Ach
            was composed mainly of dead shell. The site was located at Lat. 28'03.88'N and
            Long. 96'57.80'W for the first four years. In Year V the site was moved due to a
            lack of oysters.

            OYSTER COLLECTIONS

            Years I & Il - Oyster stations were located south of the ICWW. Station     1 was on
                  the first island south of channel marker 25. Bearing to landmarks were
                  255' to white water tower at Rockport and 305' to the middle of the causeway
                  bridge. Station 2 was on the next island to the south at 320* to ICWW
                  marker 25 and 245' to white water tower.. Station 2 was located on an island
                  that was a designated bird rookery. Station 3 was on the next island south
                  at 305' to the middle of the causeway bridge and 240' to the white water
                  tower.

            Year  III - Few oysters were present in Year III and no young oysters were
                  observed. Due to the sparse oyster population available by hand, it was
                  recommended that future collections be made by tonging or dredging in
                  deeper water.

            Year rV - The collection stations for Year IV were the same as those of the first
                  three years. Year IV oysters were tonged in approximately 0.5 m water on
                  the west side of the island.

            Year V - Live oysters could not be located at the previously collected locations, so
                  the site was moved along the reef closer to the shore and approximately I
                  mile to the southeast. Stations were separated by 100 rn along the reef.

            Years V1, VII & V711 - The site collected in Year V was reoccupied and sampled
                  in Years VI, VII, and VIII.

              SEDIMENT COLLECTIONS

              Years I & 11 - Sediments were collected by box core from the east side of the reef in
                     deeper water in the same order as the oysters.

              Year III - Sediments were collected on the west side of the reef approximately
                     200-m off the reef from each oyster station.

              Year IV - Sediments (NIST) were collected on the west side of the reef
                     approximately 200 m off the reef from each oyster station.

              Years V, VI, VII, & VIII - No sediments were collected these years.

              SAMPLING METHOD

                     Oysters - hand and tongs
                     Sediment - box corer

              WATER DEPTH - intertidal, 0 - 0.5 m; subtidal, 0.8 - 2 m, (Year I).

              POSSIBLE CONTAMINANTS - There was possible contamination from marine
              traffic, oil and gas pipelines, and natural contamination from the large numbers
              of birds on the exposed reef

             LOCATED ON NOS CHART # - 11309,11314

             SITE ACCESS - The collection site established in Year III is located on Mustang
             Island on the south side of the ICWW directly across from Harbor Island. The
             site is at-a public access area near fishing piers and is reached by crossing the
             Port Aransas ferry and traveling west past the University of Texas Marine
             Sciences building to the end of the paved road. The site is north of the sand
             parking lot.

             SITE DESCRIPTION - Oysters were attached to rip rap and rubble material
             around the base of the piers. Oysters were generally small and not abundant;
             collections would be best made at low tide since the oysters were growing on
             bottom rubble.


             OYSTER COLLECTIONS

             Year I11- Station I was located west of the wooden pier. Station 1 was located 200
                     m to the west. Station 2 was east of the wooden pier. Station 2 was 275 m to
                     west. Station 3 was located 75 m east of Station 2 and west of the three
                     concrete ship docks. Station 3 was 325 m to the west of the wooden pier.

             Years rV, V, VI, VII & V111 - This site was not sampled during these years.

             SEDIM]ENTCOLLECTIONS

             Years Iff - Sediment at the oyster site was predominantly sand; therefore, the
                    sediment stations were established 200 m to the west of the oyster stations.

             POSSIBLE CONTAMINANTS - Numerous potential sources of contamination
             existed at this site. Since it was located along the Corpus Christi Ship Channel, it
             received effluents from passing ships as well as non-point pollution from the
             nearby harbor at Port Aransas and industrial waste from Harbor Island.

             LOCATED ON NOS CHART # - 11314

             SITE ACCESS - The site is located on the north side of Copano Bay at Copano
             Point. A boat must be used to reach the site and is launched at Pouzee's Marina,
             at Lone Tree Point, Rockport. From Pouzze's, go northwest to Copano Reef, an
             exposed intertidal reef.

             SITE DESCRIPTION - The reef ran southeast from Copano Point and was located
             around the white pole with Texas Parks and Wildlife marker "Copano Reef."
             This reef has been on the decline for the past five years. Oysters are small and
             sparse.

             OYSTER COLLECTIONS

             Years I & Il - Station 1 was 100 m north of the Texas Parks and Wildlife marker,
                   closest to the shoreline. Station 2 was adjacent to the marker. Station 3 was
                   100 m south of the marker. In the first two years of the project, there were
                   abundant oysters which were collected by hand.

             Yea r III - Year III, there were few live oysters due to prolonged freshwater
                   conditions during the spring. Numerous oysters were present which had
                   died during the past season, and no young oysters or spat were observed at
                   the site in Year III.

             Year IV - In Year IV, oysters were collected at the same locations as sampled the
                   previous three years. Year IV oysters were very small and difficult to
                   obtain.

             Year V & VI - Oysters were collected along the same segment o             f the reef as
                   previous years. Oysters were abundant this year.

             Year VII - Oysters were collected along the same segment of the reef as in
                   previous years. Oysters were not abundant. Most were very small and
                   many were dead.

             Year VIII - The reef was dead, so no oysters were collected.

             SEDDIENT COLLECTIONS

             Years 1, 11, & III - Sediments were collected in subtidal areas in 1 to 1.5 m water
                   and approximately 50 - 100 m west of the respective oyster sample area.

             Years TV & VI - No sediments were sampled during these years.

              Year V - Sediments for Station I were collected 50 m west of Oyster Station 1 in 1.5
                     m of water. Station 2 sediments were located 60 m west of the oysters.
                     Station 3 sediments were 50 m west of station 3 in 1.5 m of water.

              Year VII & VIII - No sediments were collected.

             SrIE NUMBER - 6                                 DESIGNATOR - MBAR

             SITE - AYRES REEF, MESQUITE BAY TX

             NOAUNAL SITE CENTER - 28010.15'N                96049.95W

             LOCATED ON Nos CHART # - 11314

             SITE ACCESS - The boat was launched at Fulton Beach, Texas, at the Sandollar
             Pavilion during Years I and II and the ICWW was followed northeast to channel
             marker 79. In Year 111, the boat was launched at Goose Island State Park and in
             Years IV and V the boat was launched at Port O'Connor. Regardless of where
             the boat is launched, run time to the site is at least an hour in good weather.

             SITE DESCRIPTION - This site was located on the north side of Mesquite Bay
             between Matagorda Island to the southeast and the Aransas National Wildlife
             Refuge to the north. The reef was oriented in a northwest-southeast direction and
             the site was located in the middle of the reef at Ayres Dugout.

             OYSTER COLLECTIONS

             Years 1, 11, 111, 1-V, V &W - Oysters and sediments were collected by hand on the
                   intertidal reef at the same stations each year. During some years, the reef
                   silted over but oysters were still present. Station 1 was on the east end of the
                   Dugout Cut. Station 2 was in the middle of the Dugout. Station 3 was on the
                   west portion of the Dugout. There was an abundant supply of large oysters.

             Year  VII - Oysters were collected at the same stations described for previous
                   years. This year oysters were mostly dead and there waslittle indication of
                   reproduction.

             Year  VIII - No live oysters were found at last year's location, so the site was
                   moved -0.25 miles to the south. The site is located on a small brushy island
                   with a red reflector on a post. Site coordinates (GPS) for this year's
                   collection are Lat. 28* 09.82N and Long. 96149.96 `W.

             SEDMIENT COLLECTIONS

             Years 1, If & Iff - Sediments were collected approximately 400 m to the northeast
                   of the Dugout in Ayres Bay.

             Years IV, V, VI & VII - No sediments were sampled during these years.


             SAMPLING METHOD

                   Oysters - hand
                   Sediment - box core

            SITE NUMBER - 7                                 DESIGNATOR - SAPP

            SITE - PANTHER PT. REEF, SAN ANTONIO BAY TX

            NOMINAL SITE CENTER - 28014.00'N                96042.55W

            LOCATED ON NOS CE[ART # - 11315

            SITE ACCESS - To reach the site a boat is launched at Seadrift (Haynies Seafood
            or the Public Ramp at Swan Point), Port O'Connor (Doc's Doc) or Port Lavaca.
            Run time.. by boat from Seadrift is 30 min, 2 to 3 hours from Port Lavaca, and 1
            hour from Port .O'Connor. The site is located on the reef that extends to the
            northwest off Of Panther Point.

            SITE DESCRIPTION - This submerged reef was located 300 to 400 m. from a
            production platform at a bearing of 2600 and 100 m from the black and white PVC
            pole marking the top of the reef. This subtidal reef was located to the northeast
            and east side of the white plastic pole off the northwest end of Panther Point.
            Oysters and moderately dense "grass beds" were widely dispersed on the sandy
            bottom.

            OYSTER COLLECTIONS

            Years I & 11 - Samples. during Years I and II were collected by dredge but could
                   be collected by tongs in calm weather. Oysters were numerous in the first
                   two years. Station distinctions were not made.

            Year   III - There were no oysters present at this site or any of the reefs in the
                   nearby areas. Local and state biologists reported that all of the reefs were
                   dead due to prolonged freshwater conditions during the spring. The
                   submerged seagrasses and seaweeds normally present were absent.

            Year   IV - As in Year III, there were no collectible oysters present due to the
                   massive die-off in the San Antonio and Lavaca Bays in the spring of 1987.
                   Spat in the size range of 0.5 to 0.75" were observed but were not numerous.
                   In the absence of another major physical stress, there will probably be
                   oysters next year.

            Year   V - Station 1 was on the submerged reef on a bearing of 2800 to the
                   production platform. The bottom was shell with sandy silt. Oysters were
                   tonged. Station 2 was 100 m to the southeast (bearing 150') between the two
                   white poles on the west side of the reef. The site was subtidal but the oysters
                   were collected by hand in water only 0.2 m deep. Station 3 was another 200
                   m south (bearing 1500). Oysters were tonged at this location. Oysters at all
                   three stations were mixed with abundant shell and marine algae.

            Year   V1 - Oysters from all three stations were collected by hand at Year V's
                   Station 2. All stations were collected in one location due to broken oyster
                   tongs.



                                                      113








              Year  V11 - Oysters were collected with a dredge from the top of the submerged
                     reef. Collections were made at the same locations described for Year V.
                     Station 1 was on the North end of the reef. Station 2 was on the midsection
                     in shallow water. Station 3 was on the south end of the reef .

              Year  V111 - Oysters were very scarce at this reef. All the oysters were collected
                     along the reef top near station 2. Stations were not distinguished due to the
                     small number of oysters present.

              SEDIMENT COLLECrITONS

              Years I, II & III - Sediments were collected at the same stations where oysters
                     were located.

              Years IV, V, V7, VIT & VIII - No sediments were sampled during these years.

              SAMPLINGMETHOD

                     Oysters - dredge, tongs, and hand
                     Sediment - box core

              WATER DEPTH - subtidal, 0.2 to 1.5 m.

              POSSIBLE CONTAMINANTS - A nearby possible source of contamination was an
              oil or gas platform bearing 2600 from the reef, 0.25 to 0.5 mile distant.

            SITE NUMBER - 8                                DESIGNATOR - SAMP

            SITE - MOSQUITO POINT, SAN ANTONIO BAY TX

            NONONAL SITE CENTER - 28*20.65N                96042.78W

            LOCATED ON NOS CHART # - 11315

            SITE ACCESS - Access is by boat launched at Seadrift (Haynies Seafood or the
            Public Ramp at Swan Point), Port O'Connor or Port Lavaca. Run time by boat
            from Seadrift is 30 min, 2 to 3 hours from Port Lavaca, or I hour from Port
            O'Connor. From Swan Point, near Seadrift, exit the channel which is very
            shallow at low tide and proceed- southeast in the Victoria Barge Canal to channel
            marker 15. At marker 15, turn southwest to the exposed reef There are no
            landmarks on shore for reference.

            SITE DESCRIPTION - The site was located off Mosquito Point west of the Victoria
            Barge Canal and southwest of channel marker 15. Oysters were collected on the
            exposed intertidal reef A six legged wooden platform was located 80 m to the
            southeast of the reef.

            OYSTER COLLECTIONS

            Years I & 11" - Oysters were abundant at this location during Years I and II.
                  Station 1 was at the midpoint of the exposed reef, Station 2 was 150 yds south
                  on the west side, and Station 3 was another 200 yds south of Station 2. In
                  Year II, the station order was reversed with Station 1 on the west end of the
                  reef, Station 2 was 200 ft to the east, and Station 3 was another 200 ft east.

            Year III - In Year III, there were no live oysters present on the reef and no spat
                  or young oysters were observed.

            Year rV - As in Year III, there were no live oysters present due to the massive
                  die-off in the San Antonio and Lavaca Bays in the spring of 1987.

            Year V - Still no oysters alive on this reef. No samples were collected this year.

            Year V1 - Oysters were again present. Collections were made on the reef
                  southeast of Mosquito Point. Station 1 was on the north end of the reef,
                  Station 2 was on the middle part of the exposed reef, and Station 3 was on
                  the southwest end of the reef.

            Year  V11 - Oysters were collected at the same locations described last year.
                  Oysters were much more abundant this year.

            Year  VIII - The reef was dead; therefore no oyster samples were available this
                  year.

               EDIMENTCOLLECTIONS

              Years I and Il - Sediments were collected in subtidal areas adjacent to the oyster
                     stations from mud and sand bottom in Years I and IL Station 1 was on the
                     west side 10-50 feet out. Station 2 was 50 yards south of Station 1 (intertidal)
                     and 200 yards south was Station 3.

              Year III - Sediment samples were collected from soft sandy mud bottom over shell
                     hash approximately 100 to 200 m north of the reef in 1 to 1.5 m of water.

              Years rV,..V, VI, VII, & VIII - No sediments were sampled during these years.

              SAMPLINGMETHOD

                     Oysters - hand
                     Sediment - box core

              WATER DEPTH - intertidal, 0 - 0.5 m

              POSSEBLE CONTAMINANTS - No.contaminants were observed but the potential
              for contamination existed since the site was located within a half mile of the
              Victoria Barge Canal.

            SITE - SOUTH PASS REEF, ESPHUTU SANTO TX

            NOMINAL SITE CENTER - 28017.90'N               96037.33W

            LOCATED ON NOS CHART # - 11315,11319

            SITE ACCESS - The site is accessed by boat launched at Swan Point, near
            Seadrift. Proceed southeast on the Victoria Barge Canal to the ICWW and then
            east to the site. Alternate launch points are Snapper Snatcher dock or Doc's Doc
            in Port O"Connor. South Pass Island, a few hundred meters to the southeast of
            the site, is an oil production site and has a compressor station and buildings.
            Approximate time to the site is 0.75 hrs.

            SITE DESCRIPTION - The site was located between Grass Island on the north
            and Steamboat Island on the south. The site was composed of a series of low
            exposed reefs at 105' from pumping station, 2400 from water tower and 150' from
            southeastern most point of Steamboat Island. The sample area was an intertidal
            reef.

            OYSTER COLLECTIONS

            Years I & 11 - Oyster collection areas were 100 m apart on a north-south line
                  along the exposed reef. Oysters were abundant during both years.

            Year III - In Year III, there were no oysters present. Texas Parks and Wildlife
                  biologists reported that the reefs in Espiritu Santo Bay had died due to
                  excessive freshwater inflow during the spring and summer periods.

            Year IV - As in Year 111, there were no collectible oysters present in Year IV due
                  to the massive die-off in the San Antonio and Lavaca Bays in the spring of
                  1987. Spat were observed but were not numerous. In the absence of another
                  physical stress, there will probably be oysters next year.

            Years V & V1 - Oyster were present in adequate numbers. Station 1 was on the
                  reef which was northwest of the tanks and west of the island where station
                  3 was located. The three tanks at the production facility were located on a
                  bearing of 130'. Station 2 was north of the production station, to the east of
                  Station 1 on the same island. It was 1800 to the channel marker pole and
                  the top of the small island was to the west. Station 3 was northeast of the
                  tanks on the end of the island with the top always exposed and in line with
                  the island with the Yuccas. There were abundant shell, shell hash, and
                  small oysters with attached marine algae.

            Year VII - Collection sites were in the same locations as the last two years.

            Year VIII - The reef was dead; therefore, no oysters were collected.

                  IDMENTCOLLECTIONS

              Years I, II & Iff - Sediments were taken from subtidal mud 500-1000 m to the
                     north at three random stations in all years. Sediments were loose gray
                     muds overlain with loose brown mud.

              Years IV, V, VI& VII - No sediments were sampled during these years.

              SAMPLINGMETHOD

                     Oysters - hand

            LOCATED ON NOS CHART # - 11315,11319

            SITE ACCESS - Access to the site is from Port O'Connor via the ICWW to Espiritu
            Santo Bay.

            SITE DESCRIPTION - The site was located at Bill Days Reef which was in
            Barroom Bay south of Port O'Connor. The reef was oriented almost east-west.
            During the first two years of the study there were no live oysters.

            OYSTER COLLECTIONS

            Years I & Il - The site was visited both in 1986 and 1987 and no living oysters were
                   found.

            Year III - During Year III, live oysters were found. Oysters were collected by
                   hand on the exposed portion of the south side of Bill Days Reef in intertidal
                   water near the northernmost duck blind at the east end of the reef. No
                   distinct stations were established. Oysters were very small but were
                   numerous. Abundant spat were present.

            Year   IV - Oysters were again present with small oysters in clumps on dead
                   shells. In Year IV, stations were established. Station 1 was on the west
                   end of the reef at bearing of 360' to Port O'Connor water tower; 340' to
                   Nhlchem tanks; 250 m south of the reef-, Station 2 was 100 m to the east in
                   the center of the reef on a line with the west end of Bill Days Reef and the
                   tall tower to the west; and Station 3 was 50 m to the east.

            Year   V - Stations which were established in Year IV were sampled again.
                   Oysters were abundant but small.

            Year VIT - No oysters were present in the required size range but a few 1 to 2 cm
                   oysters were present. Collections were not made at this site.

            Year W1 & VIII - Oysters were present in adequate numbers for sampling, but
                   were not very abundant.

            SEDMENT CO1.1 3-TIONS

            Years 1, 11 & ITH - Sediments were composed of loose gray silt over gray sandy
                   clay and were collected adjacent to the reef each year.

            Years 1-V, V, W, VI1'& VIII - No sediments were sampled during these years.

            SITE - LAVACA RIVER MOUTH, MATAGORDA BAY TX

            NomiNAL SITE CENTER - 28039.80'N                96034.83W

            LOCATED ON NOS CHART # - 11317

            SITE ACCESS - This site was originally accessed by launching the boat at Port
            Lavaca State Park and proceeding for 0.5 hour to the mouth of the Lavaca River.
            The site was moved in Year IV. The new site is accessible from Highway 35 and
            can be sampled entirely by hand.

            SITE DESCRIPTION - The original site was a submerged reef approximately 0.5
            mile west of the river mouth. The highway 35 bridge was to the south and the
            plastics plant to the east. The site was an exposed reef on the east side of the
            channel entering the Lavaca River. Oysters were located only on the west side of
            the reef between channel marker 22 and the river mouth to the north. Most of the
            reef was dead and oysters were sparse. The site was originally located at Lat.
            28'4,1.00'N and Long. 96*34.65'W. In Year IV, this site was moved because of the
            difficulty in finding oysters in Year III and the absence of oysters in Year IV at
            the original location. The site was moved to the north shore of the causeway
            where it joins.the Highway 35 bridge.

            OYSTER COLLECTIONS

            Year I - In.Year I the oysters were collected by tonging from a subtidal reef west
                   of the river mouth. Station bearings were: Station 1 was 185' to the middle
                   span of bridge; 901 to the water tower at plastics plant. Station 2 was 85' to
                   the water tower at plastics plant; 195' to the middle span of the bridge.
                   Station 2 is 0.25 mile south of Station 1. Station 3 was 230' to the middle
                   span of the bridge; 70' to the water tower at the plastics plant. Station 3 was
                   0.25 mile south of Station 2.

            Year   II - No distinctions were made for Stations 1, 2, and 3 during Year 11.
                   Oysters were collected by hand. The reef could not be relocated in Year II;
                   therefore, there was a slight difference in site location by approximately 500
                   to 1000 m between Years I and II.

            Year III - No oysters were present in Year III. Conversations with Texas Parks
                   and Wildlife biologists indicated that the reef die-off was due to prolonged
                   freshwater inflow.

            Year rV - Station 1 was located at the end of the causeway. Station 2 was located
                   approximately 300 m east of Station 1, where a spit/reef extended into the
                   bay from the shoreline. Station 3 was approximately 400 m east of Station
                   2. Commercial oystering was observed just north of the bridge, between the
                   center span and the power lines to the north.

              Years V, V1, VII, & VIII - Oysters were collect         ed in the same locations as
                     described for Year IV. Oysters were numerous each year.

              SE )IMENT COLLECTIONS

              Years I, II & Iff - Sediments were collected with a boxcorer at stations spaced
                     equidistant and extending from channel marker 22 to the river mouth.
                     Sediments for the NIST archive were collocated with the oysters.

              Years IV, V, VI, VII & VIII - No sediments were sampled during these years.

              SAMPLINGMETHOD

                     0 sters - dredge, tong or hand
                       y
                     Sediment - box core

              WATER DEPTH - 0.2 - 2 m, subtidal (Years I & II), intertidal (subsequent years)

              POSSI]BLE CONTAMINANTS - Possible contamination could be from the plastics
              plant to the southeast of the site and the Alcoa plant some distance to the south in
              Lavaca Bay.

            SHE NUMBER - 12                               DESIGNATOR - MBGP

            SITE - GALLRUPPER PT., MATAGORDA BAY TX

            NOM[INAL SITE CENTER - 28035.25'N             96034.17W

            LOCATED ON NOS CELART # - 11317

            SITE ACCESS - The boat is launched at Port Lavaca State Park and the channel is
            followed down to Gallinipper Point at channel marker 63.

            SITE DESCRIMON - This site was a submerged reef approximately 400 m off the
            north shore of Gallinipper Point. The reef ran on a line from the aluminum plant
            to a house on the shoreline that had an asymmetrically pitched roof and a
            fireplace chimney. The reef was south of channel marker 63 and was
            approximately 400 m offshore.

            OYSTER COLLECTIONS

            Years I & Il - In Years I and II, the stations were distributed on the reef line at
                  distances of 200, 300, and 400 m from shore. Station bearings were: Station
                  1 - 360' to the orange/white range tower; 2750 to the twin radio towers.
                  Station 1 - 50 m from the high range marker. Station 2 was 3250 to tower
                  with range light; 290' to the twin radio towers. Station 2 was 400 m from
                  the shore. Station 3 - 30' to tower with range. light; 285' to the twin radio
                  towers. Station 3 was at the eastern end of Alamo Beach. Oysters were
                  dredged using a commercial boat.

            Year  III - In Year III the oysters were purchased from commercial fishermen
                  with Stations 1 and 2 located in approximately the same areas but Station 3
                  was a mix of Stations 1 and 2 oysters. The reef supported many live, good
                  sized oysters. It was not fished commercially or privately during the first
                  two years, since it was rumored to be a closed area due to pollution. There
                  were numerous oyster boats dredging in Year III.

            Year  I-V - In Year IV, the same three sites were dredged as were sampled in
                  Year II. Oysters were dredged by a commercial oysterman at our request
                  and direction.

            Year V - The same areas and numerous adjacent sites were examined for oysters
                  but none could be located; therefore, an alternate site, which had previously
                  been sampled, was selected in another bay system.

            Year  VI - Oysters were present again this year. Oysters were collected with a
                  clam dredge. Station 1 was 100 to 200 m from the shoreline on a line
                  between the geodesic dome house and the range marker. Station 2 was 150
                  to 200 m to the north along the same line. Station 3 was another 100 m to
                  the north, directly south of the range marker.

               Year V11 & VIII - Oysters were present these years and collections were made in
                      the same location as described for Year VI.

                   )IMENTCOLLECTIONS

               Years I, II & III - Sediments in Years 1, 11 and III were obtained by boxcore from
                      an area northwest of the reef between the high range marker and Alamo
                      Beach.

               Years IV, V, VT V11, & VIII - No sediments were sampled during these years.

               SAMIPLINGMETHOD

                      Oysters - The site required dredging on a completely subtidal reef.
                      Sediment - box core

               WATER DEPTH - subtidal, 2 m

               POSSIBLE CONTAMINANTS - Possible point contamination sources were the
               Alcoa aluminum plant directly across the bay, and the plastics plant near the
               Lavaca River mouth.

            SrIE NUMBER - 13                                DESIGNATOR - MBTP

            SITE - TRES PALACIOS BAY, MATAGORDA BAY TX

            NOAHNAL SITE CENTER - 28039.50'N                96013.45W

            LOCATED ON NOS CHART # - 11317

            SITE ACCESS - In Years I and II, the boat was launched at Port Lavaca State
            Park. The transit across Lavaca, Matagorda, and Palacios Bays takes 1.5 hours.
            In Year III and subsequently, the boat was launched at the public boat ramp at
            Palacios a-nd then proceeded southwest out the Palacios Channel for two nautical
            miles to channel marker 48 and then south-southeast across the bay to the
            northeast end of the Coon Island Reef (15 minute run time).

            SITE DESCRIPTION - The site was located on a string of reefs across the mouth
            of Green Island Bay. The reef extends from. Coon Island to Oliver Point. Station 1
            at the north end of the reefs was closest to Palacios.

            OYSTER COLLECTIONS

            Years 1, If, 111, IV, V & VI - Oyster collection stations remained the same during
                   each year of sampling. Station 1 was on the north side of Coon Island (the
                   northernmost of three exposed islands/reefs running from Oliver Point to
                   the northeast). Station 2 was taken from the westward end of the middle
                   island, between Stations 1 and 3, and is due east of Red Chi #2. Station 3
                   was closest to Coon Island at the westernmost reef/island (samples from
                   the north side and east end of this island). Station 3 was on -a bearing of 150
                   degrees to the platform.

            Year VI - Sample sites remained the same as in previous years. A new channel
                   marker (red 2) had been installed which provided an additional reference
                   point.

            Year VII &, V111 - Oyster collection stations were the same as the previous seven
                   years. Oysters were not as abundant this year.

            SEDD4ENT COLLECTIONS

            Year I - Sediments were collected by hand in close proximity to the oyster sites.

            Years 11 & III - Sediments were collected by boxcorer at stations located 150-
                   200-m, southwest from the oyster stations.

            Years IV, V, V1, VII & VIII - No sediments were sampled during these years.

              SAMPLINGMETHOD

                     Oysters - tong and hand
                     Sediment - hand and box corer

              WATER DEPTH - intertidal, 0 to 1 meter

              POSSIBLE CONTAMINANT'S - There were no obvious sources of contamination
              in the vicinity except for a couple of oil or gas production platforms. Natural
              contamination may have been present since the entire middle island smelled of
              bird droppings and the waters surrounding the reef had abundant -brown and
              green algae.

            SITE - EAST MATAGORDA, MATAGORDA BAY TX

            NOMINAL SITE CENTER - 28042.67'N               95053.00V

            LOCATED ON NOS CHART # - 11317

            SITE ACCESS - The site is accessed via boat launched in Matagorda at C&R
            Marina and Bait Camp next to the Matagorda Drawbridge. Proceed east along
            the ICWW to the first cut to the south. Collection areas are -100 rn into East
            Matagorda Bay at the reefs located on either side of the channel.

            SITE DESCRIPTION - The exposed reefs extended out from Old Gulf Cut into East
            Matagorda Bay. Oysters and sediments were collected from mainly dead reefs
            which had silted over. There were very few live oysters, and all were very small
            during the first four years of study.

            OYSTER COLLECTIONS

            Years 1, 11, 111, rV, V & W - Oysters were collected at the same locations during
            all years of the study. Station 1 was directly outside the cut, with a bearing of 351
            to microwave tower on the ICWW and 1060 to a group of six pilings in the bay.
            Station 2 is 200 m south of Station 1, with bearing of 24' to microwave tower; 95' to
            group of six pilings. Station 3 is on the third exposed reef west of the Old Gulf Cut
            and was 250 rn west of Station 1. Landmarks were 40' to the microwave tower and
            80' to a group of six pilings.

            Year VII & WII - Oyster collection stations were at the same locations described
                  above.


            SEDEMENTCOLLECTIONS

            Years I, Il & III - Sediment was collected 50 m west of each of the three oyster
                  stations.

            Years rV, V, VT VII, & VIII - No sediments were sampled during these years.

            SAMPLINGMETHOD

                  Oysters - hand
                  Sediment - box core

            WATER DEPTH - intertidal, 0 to 0.5 m

            POSSIBLE CONTAMINANTS - No observable sources of contamination were
            evident except for silting over of the reef.

             NOM[WAL SITE CENTER - 28039.40'N                96023.18W

             LOCATED ON NOS CHART # - 11318

             SITE ACCESS - This collection site, which was established in Year III, is
             accessed via boat from a launch point on Highway 35. The public boat ramp
             located on the highway is silted in near the mouth so that only a small boat can be
             launched. Proceed directly south down the bay for 4.5 nautical miles and then
             turn to the east toward a point with a PVC marker. The site can also be reached
             from Highway 35 by turning south at the intersection of Highway 35 and 1862 onto
             Jackson County Road 476. Proceed on County Road 476 to County Road 477, turn
             south again and proceed to Bay Ave. Turn left on Bay Avenue and drive to the end
             of the road. The site is located approximately 100 yards to the west.

             SITE DESCRIPTION - The site was located on the east side of Carancahua Bay
             directly across the bay from Port Alto. Several houses were located on or near this
             point. The site was a shoreline site and could be collected from the shore at low
             tide. Oysters were very abundant at Stations 2 and 3 but were less so at Station 1.
             No live oysters were found in the upper part of the bay, presumably due to
             prolonged freshwater conditions which were common during the spring of 1987.

             OYS17ER COLLECTIONS

             Year III - Oysters were collected at this site for the first time in Year III. Station
                    I was located approximately 300 m south of a green house along the
                    shoreline. Station 1 was 10 to 20 m off the shoreline on a small reef
                    paralleling the shore for approximately 80 m, oysters were found on the
                    bottom or attached to shell. Station 2 was on the point which extended to the
                    southwest. At this site the oysters were attached to concrete and brick
                    rubble. The station extended approximately 100 m into the bay. Station 3
                    was located southeast of Station 2 on an intertidal reef along the shore and
                    on an exposed reef approximately 20 m from the shore.

             Year rV - Oysters were not sampled during this year.

             Year V - This site was used as a substitute for MBGP. Oysters were abundant
                    and were collected in the locations that were sampled during Year III.

             Years VI and VII - This site was not sampled during these years.

             Year VIII - This site was used as a substitute for dead reefs father south. Oysters
                    were abundant and were collected at the locations sampled during Year V.

              Years IV, V, V1, VII, & VIII - No sediments were sampled during these years.

              SAMPLING Affi'MODS

                     Oysters - hand
                     Sediment - box core

              WATER DEPTH - intertidal, 0 to 0.3 m

              POSSIEBLE CONTAMINANTS - No sources of contamination were obvious within
              the bay; however, the inflow and runoff into Carancahua Bay was from the
              adjacent agricultural lands which were a potential non-point source for pesticides
              and agricultural chemicals.

            NOP43NAL SITE CENTER - 28038.28N               95000.15V

            LOCATED ON NOS CHART # - 11319

            SITE ACCESS - The launch point is at the public boat ramp on the Colorado River.
            Proceed northwest to the ICWW, then southwest along the ICWW to Culver Cut,
            go south to the first fork and then go east. Proceed to the second PVC pipe and
            then go south to the first iron structure which is 200 m from shore.

            SITE DESCRIPTION - This site was first sampled in Year III and was located in
            east Matagorda Bay near Dog Island Reef

            OYSTER COLLECTIONS

            Year III - The site was first established in Year III. Station 1 was an oyster shell
                   reef located approximately 500 m north of Dog Island Reef. Station 2 was
                   directly south of Station 1 and was located on the southeast end of Dog
                   Island Reef. There was a well developed reef with numerous oysters in the
                   intertidal zone. Station 3 was located 100 m to the southeast on the next
                   exposed reef. Oysters were also abundant at this site.

            Years TV, V, VI, V11, & VIII - Not sampled in these years.

            SEDIM]ENTCOLLECTIONS

            Years III - Sediments were collocated with the oysters at each station. Station 1
                   was 20 m north of the oyster reef. Sediment for Station 2 was collected 50 m
                   from the reef in -1.0 m of water. The sediment collection site at Station 3
                   was located 90 m to the north.

            Years I-V, V, V1, V71 & VIII - No sediments were sampled during these years.

            SAMPLING AMTHODS

                   Oysters - hand
                   Sediment - box core

            WATER DEPTH - intertidal, 0 to 0.3 m

            POSSIBLE CONTAMINANTS - No apparent point sources of contamination were
            obvious. However, this site was located near Culver Cut which received drainage
            from agricultural activities, primarily farming of rice and grain sorghum. The
            Colorado River channel is scheduled to be diverted and will empty into this bay
            northeast of Dog Island Reef.

            SITE NUMBER - 72                               DESIGNAXOR - BRCL

            SITE - CEDAR LAIKE, BRAZOS RIVER               TX

            NOXNAL SITE CENTER - 28051.50'N                95027.83W

            LOCATED ON NOS CHART # - 11322

            SITE ACCESS - This intertidal site was first sampled in Year IV. A boat launch
            is located at the end of the road on FM 2918. From the boat ramp proceed
            southeast across the ICWW to the entrance at Cedar Lakes. Then proceed west-
            southwest down the channel for approximately 0.75 miles to where two land
            masses converge, one from the north and one from the south.

            SITE DESCRIPTION - This site was located on the east side of the San Bernard
            National Wildlife Refuge near Rivers End, approximately 2 miles west of the San
            Bernard River. The site was south of the ICWW on the east side of Cedar Lakes.
            An old silted-in channel ran southwest off of the ICWW into Cedar Lakes. This
            area was predominated by very shallow bays with numerous oyster reefs
            surrounded by Spartina alterniflora marshland.

            OYS'rM COLLECTIONS

            Year rV - Station 1 was located 50 m southwest of the metal casing on the west
                   side of the small channel which turned to the south. Oysters were collected
                   by hand from an exposed reef on the west side of the channel. Station 2 was
                   located approximately 150 m northeast of the metal casing and 200 m from
                   Station 1. It was on the north side of the entrance channel. Oysters were
                   collected by hand from both sides of the land mass which protruded to the
                   south. Station 3 was located on the exposed reef which ran east-west and
                   paralleled the entrance channel. The actual collection site was 350 m east
                   of the metal casing and 200 m east-southeast of Station 2. Oysters were very
                   abundant at this location but the sediment was soft which made access to
                   the oysters difficult.

            Year V - Due to siltation of the channel leading to Station 1 it was moved 100 m to
                   the east. . The station was located on the east side of the marsh that was
                   directly south of Station 2. Oyster collections were made on the small bay to
                   the south. Station 2 remained at the originally established sites. Station 3
                   was moved 100 m to the east for better access and better quality oysters.
                   This station was located on the west bank of the small channel which went
                   to the south and was approximately 300 m east of Station 1.

            Year  V1 - Oysters at Station 1 and 2 were collected in the same locations as in
                   Year IV. Station 3 was collected at the same location as last year, along the
                   small channel on the south side of the channel approximately 300 m east of
                   Station I and 2. Oysters were located on the west side of this channel.

              Year V11 - Oysters were collected in the same area as last year but two stations
                     were moved. Station 1 was moved approximately 50 m to the east toward
                     Station 2. Station 2 was collected at the same location described for Year
                     IV. Station 3 was moved across the channel approximately 50 m to the
                     north of last years collection site.

              Year VIII - Oysters were collected at the same location as Year VII.

              SEDIMENT COLLECTIONS

              Year IV -  Sediments were collocated with the oysters and were collected by hand
                     from within the oyster bed. The sediment was red-brown soft silty mud.

              Year V - Sediments were again collocated with each of the oyster sites and were
                     collected by hand. Sediment character was unchanged from last year.

              Years V1, V11, & VIII - No sediments were sampled during these years.

              SAMPLING AIETHODS

                     Oysters - hand
                     Sediment - hand

              WATER DEPTH - intertidal, 0 to 0.3 m

              POSSIBLE CONTAMINANTS - No obvious contaminants were observed, a
              potential source is marine fuel and oil from the ICWW.

            LOCATED ON NOS CHART # - 11322


            SITE ACCESS - This intertidal site was established in Year III and is accessed
            from the shore. From the intersection of FM 288 and 1495 drive south on FM 1495
            to the ICWW, cross the draw bridge and the site is located along the ICWW and in
            the housing development with silted-in boat basins east of FM 1495.

            SITE DESCRIPTION - Oysters could be collected easily by hand at low tide,
            otherwise it was necessary to tong for bottom concrete rubble on which the oysters
            were attached. A local resident indicated that oysters were less abundant in Year
            III, but a moderate population existed at the three stations.

            OYSTER COLLECTIONS

            Year HI - Year III stations were established as follows: Station 1 was directly
                  east of the highway along the conciete rubble on the south shoreline of the
                  ICWW and continued inside the first boat basin along the west side of the
                  bulkhead. Oysters were collected from concrete rubble and wood pilings on
                  the mud bottom. Station 2 was located across the boat basin along the east
                  side of the bulkhead. The oysters were attached to the concrete bulkhead
                  and from concrete rubble on the mud bottom. Station 3 was located in the
                  next boat basin to the east. Oysters were collected on the east side of the
                  channel along the bulkhead and from concrete rubble on the mud bottom.

            Years IV, V, V1, V11', & VIII - Oyster stations were collected at the locations
                  described for Year III.

            SEDIM]MW COLLECTIONS

            Years III - Sediments were collocated with the oyster stations. The bottom was
                  soft red silty clay over black to gray mud.

            Years IV, V, VI, VII, & VIII - No sediments were sampled during these years.

            SAMPLING MEwMODS

                  Oysters - hand and tongs
                  Sediment - hand scoop and box corer

            WATER DEPTH - Water depth at all three stations was less than 1 m at high tide
                  with a range of 0 to I m, intertidal.





                                                   179








              POSSIBLE CONTAMINANTS - Contamination was possible from boat traffic in
              the ICWW and nearby oil and chemical refineries. Effluent from an adjacent
              dredge disposal site was returned to the ICWW through the second boat channel
              where Station 3 was located.

             NOAHNAIL SYIE CENTER - 2W37.30'N               94059.50W

             LOCATED ON NOS CHART # - 11326,11322

             SITE ACCESS - The collection site during Years I and 11 was a walk-up site just
             north of the Yacht Club. The site was moved in Year III to near the Judges Stand
             outside of the Houston Yacht Club. The site is accessed by boat launched at the
             Houston Yacht Club, Eagle Point Marina or Galley Restaurant Marina.

             SITE DESCRIPTION - The site was in the middle portion of Galveston Bay near
             Shoreacres just north of Red Bluff. In the first two years the site was along shore
             in front of the third house north of the yacht club, in from the retaining wall (Lat.
             29'37.20'N, Long. 95'00.10'W).      Oysters were intertidal and sediments were
             subtidal. Sediments were collected east of the Yacht Club property. Oysters were
             few in number and attached to rocks. In Year III, the site was moved. The new
             location at the Judges Stand was subtidal and oysters were more abundant.

             OYSTER COLLECTIONS

             Years I & II - Years I & II shoreline stations were as follows: Station 1 was 50 m
                   north of the Yacht Club property. Station 2 was 70 m north of Station 1.
                   Station 3 was 80 m north of Station 2.

             Year  III - There were no oysters along the shoreline in Year III; therefore all
                   three stations were moved to deeper water outside the entrance to the yacht
                   basin. The reef was 2 to 3 m deep and runs south from the judges stand
                   curving back to the shore. Station 1 was at the Judges Stand (a 4 piling
                   platform 300 m outside the yacht basin. entrance). Station 2 was 100 m to the
                   south and Station 3 was another 100 m to the south.

             Year  rV - In Year IV all three oysters stations were collected by tong -at the
                   Judges Stand (Station 1) due to rough weather conditions and siltation of
                   the lower end (Station 3) of the reef.

             Year V - Oysters were collected from the reef around the Judges Sta   nd.

             Year VI - Oysters were again collected by tong from around the Judges Stand and
                   were abundant despite the high volume and long duration of freshwater
                   experienced in Galveston Bay.

             Year V11 - Oysters were again collected by tong from around the Judges Stand.

             Year V111 - Oysters were collected by dredge from around the Judges Stand.

           SITE - TODD'S DUMP, GALVESTON BAY                 TX

           NOMINAL SITE CENTER - 29030.06'N               94053.82W

           LOCATED ON NOS CE[ART # - 11326,11322

           SITE ACCESS - The boat was launched at Pelican Island (TAMU boat basin) in
           Years I and II and the run up the Houston ship channel to San Leon takes about 1
           hour. In Year III, the boat was launched at San Leon Marine near Eagle Point
           where a lift was available. In subsequent years the boat was launched at the
           Eagle Point Marina.

           SITE DESCRIPTION - The collection site was near an exposed reef midway
           between southeast Eagle Point and Red Fish Island at Houston Ship Channel.
           The reef ran from Eagle Point to Red Fish Island. This was an extensive reef with
           several shipwrecks. The top of the reef was exposed at low tide.

           OYSTER COLLECTIONS

           Years I & 11 - Station 1 was west-southwest of the reef between the reef and Eagle
                  Point in 1.5 m of water. Bearing to landmarks are 85' to middle exposed
                  reef; 180' to Railroad draw bridge. Station 2 was dredged near the exposed
                  portion of the reef (about halfway between the marina and the ship channel
                  dredge material islands). Station 2 landmarks were 140' to the middle of
                  the exposed reef. Station 3 was dredged northeast of the reef at about half
                  the distance to the island. Station 3 landmarks are 330' to the middle of
                  exposed reef; 210' to railroad draw bridge.

           Year  III - Year III stations were close to those previously used. Station 1 was
                  moved approximately 0.5 miles to the north -50 m offshore of the exposed
                  reef which borders the ship channel and east of the south end of the reef.
                  Stations 2 and 3 were the same as those previously sampled.

           Year   IV - In Year IV the oysters were obtained from the north side of the
                  east/west reef extending from Eagle Point marina to the exposed reef
                  bordering the ship channel. The location corresponds to Station 2 in
                  previous years. At the time of sampling all commercial oystering was
                  confined to this area and the oysters were purchased.

           Year V - Station 1 oysters were purchased from a lugger working on the east end
                  of the reef. Station 3 oysters were obtained from another lugger working on
                  the west end of the reef, approximately 200 m from the first pole at the
                  entrance to the Eagle Point Marina. Station 2 was a combination of oysters
                  from Stations 1 and 3.

           Year  V1 - Station 1 oysters were collected at the high point of the reef toward the
                  west end. Station 2 was collected at the middle of the reef near the ship

                    wrecked boat (29*29.70'N, 94*53.82W). Station 3 was dredged by a
                    commercial lugger operating slightly north of the east end of the reef in the
                    bend of Red Fish Island.

              Year  VII - Station 1 oysters were collected on the northwest end of the reef
                    approximately 200-300 m from the exposed portion of the reef. Station 2 was
                    near the middle of the reef approximately 300 m. north of the wrecked
                    shrimp boat. Station 3 was on the east end of the reef approximately 500 rn
                    northeast of the shrimpboat. Oysters were numerous at the first two
                    stations.

              Year VIII - Oysters were collected at the same reef segments as last year.

              SEDDMENT COLLEMONS

              Years I & Il - Sediments in Years I and II were collected north and northwest of
                    the reef. Mud bottoms were patchy in distribution.

              Year III - Sediments were collected within 100 rn of each of the oyster sites.

              Year TV - Sediments for Year IV were collected with a box corer within 100 rn of
                    each of the oyster collection sites described for Year III.

              Year V - Sediments were collected adjacent to each station. Station I was 100 M
                    north of the east end of the exposed reef. Station 2 was 100 rn north of the
                    center of the reef. Station 3 was 300 rn north of the oyster collection site. All
                    the sediments were sandy-silt over black clay.

              Year V7 - Sediments (NIST) were collected 100 rn north of each oyster station.

              Years V11'& V111 - No sediments were sampled these years.

              SAMPLING M[ETHODS

                    Oysters - Dredging, tonging, or hand
                    Sediment - box core

              WA'fER DEPTH - intertidal to subtidal, 0.1 to 3 m

              POSSIBLE CONTAMINANTS - Sources of contamination included the dredging
              activities on the Houston ship channel, the Houston ship channel-Galveston Bay
              complex, and the petrochemical industry at Texas City.

           SITE - HANNA REEF, GALVESTON BAY              TX

           NOHNAL SITE CENTER - 29028.85'N               94044.OOW

           LOCATED ON NOS CELART # - 11326,11322

           SITE ACCESS - The boat was launched at TAMU boat basin on Pelican Island
           during the first two years of the study and the ICWW is traveled along Bolivar
           Peninsula to the first cut (Sievers Cove) through to East Bay. The reef is to the
           northwest. In Years III & IV, the boat was launched at the Eagle Point Marina.

           SITE DESCRIPTIONS - Hanna Reef is a large subtidal reef that runs northwest to
           southeast and separates East Bay from Galveston Bay. The large exposed (only at
           low tide) portion in the middle served as the point. of reference for site
           identification. The oyster site was the submerged reef northeast of the large
           exposed part (bearing 055' from) and marked by two telephone pole sized pilings.
           Also at mid-bay there was a solitary concrete piling and a six leg wooden
           platform. The area was fished commercially and marked by many temporary
           stakes.


           OYSTER COLLECTIONS

           Year I - In Year I the oysters were obtained on site from a commercial dredger
                  and thus no station distinction was possible.

           Year II - In Year II the stations were dredged from the submerged reef to the
                  northeast of the exposed part of Hanna Reef. Station 1 was on the west side
                  of the submerged reef, between two telephone poles. Station 2 was north of
                  the reef. Station 3 was east of the reef.

           Year   111 - In Year III, oysters were purchased from a. commercial fisherman
                  operating at Stations 1 and 2 and oysters were dredged from Station 3 at
                  approximately the same location described above.

           Year   IV - Oysters were purchased from commercial fishermen dredging on
                  Hanna Reef.

           Year V - Oysters were tonged to the north of the exposed part of Hanna Reef on a
                  line between the white oil platform and the six legged wood platform.
                  Station 1 was on the west side of the reef approximately 1000 m east of the
                  white platform. Station 2 was 150 east of Station 2 near the top of a
                  submerged reef. Station 3 was another 200 m east toward the six legged
                  platform. The bottom was shell and shell hash in dark brown mud.

           Year   VI - Oysters were purchased from a commercial fisherman dredging on
                  Hanna Reef.

              Year VII - All three stations were dredged off of the east end of the exposed
                     portion of Hanna reef. The first station was approximately 300 m east of the
                     reef with Stations 2 and 3 further to the east separated by approximately
                     50-m.

              Year V111 - Oysters were dredged in the same location as Year VII.
              SE )IM]KNT COILECTIONS

              Years I, II & III - Sediments were obtained by boxcore adjacent to the oyster
                     stations.

              Years 1-V, V, V1, VH, & VIII"- No sediments were sampled during these years.

              SAMPLING AFETHODS

                     Oysters - dredge, tong, or purchase
                     Sediment - box core

              WATER DEPTII - subtidal, 1 to 3 m

              POSSIBLE CONTAMINANTS - Possible contaminant sources included oil and
              gas development in Galveston and East Bays and the petrochemical complex at
              Texas City.

            NoAnNAL SITE CENTER @ 29015.75N                94054.88V

            LOCATED ON NOS CHART # - 11326,11322

            SITE ACCESS - The site is accessed from the boat launch at TAMU boat basin or
            more directly by driving to a public boat ramp for launch directly south of the site.
            Take Seawall Blvd. west to 8 Mile Road, which joins Anderson Ways Road at
            Stewart Street. Continue on Anderson to the north almost to West Bay and turn
            left at Sportsman Road, proceed for -1 mile. The boat ramp is on the right
            between two houses.

            SITE DESCRIPTION - The site was a reef between Deer Island and shore,
            approximately 0.5 mile from the boat ramp. This large reef was exposed at low
            tide and was utilized by commercial and private fisherman. This was a heavily
            utilized reef, as was evidenced by the large number of people collecting oysters
            during the third year's collections.

            OYSTER COLLECTIONS

            Years 1, 11 & III - Stations were established along the edge of the reef. Station 1
                  was located on the eastern tip of the reef. Station 2 was in the middle of the
                  reef and Station 3 was at the west end. Oysters were picked by hand from
                  0.5 m of water on both sides of the reef.

            Year  IV - In Year IV, the prevailing winds and tides had covered the reef
                  completely with waves of about two feet. Thus, sampling by hand on the
                  reef margins was not possible. Oysters were obtained from a commercial
                  dredger operating in the area of former Station 2, between Confederate Reef
                  and South Deer Island to the north. The site was 1.7 nautical miles to the
                  west from the green channel marker 9 at the entrance to Offatts Bayou.

            Years V, V1, VII, & VIII - Oysters were collected by hand at low tide from the
                  exposed reef. Station 1 was located on the eastern tip of the reef where 50 m
                  of reef was above water. Station 2 was in the middle of the reef to the west of
                  Station 1. Station 3 was on the west end of the reef approximately 300 m
                  west of Station 2. The entire reef was over hard bottom composed of shell
                  and shell hash.


            SEDEVEENT COLLECTIONS

            Years 1, 11 & III - Sediments were patchy and were located approximately 1 mile
                  north of the oyster stations, between Deer Island and the reef, and
                  northeast from the island at a distance of -50 m. Sediments were collected
                  at Lat. 29'16.1 ON and Long. 94'54.60W.




                                                     205








              Year V - Sediments were collected north of the oyster stations near Deer Island.
                     Station 1 was on the east side of the island 200 m from shore. Station 2 was
                     on the south shore of Deer Island near a cove approximately 60 m from
                     shore. Station 3 was on the west side of Deer Island 60 m from the shore.
                     Sediments were silty sand over hard sand.

              Years I-V, VT V11, & V7II - No sediments were sampled during the,@,e yaarp-

            SITE - OFFATTS BAYOU, GALVESTON BAY TX

            NOM[INAL SITE CENTER - 29017.08W              9,050.15W

            LOCATED ON NOS CELART # - 11322

            SITE ACCESS - This collection site, established in Year III, is located in the
            middle of the south shore of Offatts Bayou. From Stewart Rd. Take 71st Street
            north to Heards Lane and then travel down Bay Drive through the apartment
            complex. Follow the dirt road around the turn for approximately 100 m and turn
            north onto private property to an open shed with a green roof. The stations were
            located along the shoreline north of the shed at Lat. 29116.65'N and Long.
            94'50.87'W. In Year IV, the collection site was moved to the 61st bridge at the
            public boat ramp.

            SITE DESCRIPTION - This collection site was located in the middle of the south
            shore of Offatts Bayou. Oysters could be picked up along the shoreline but
            sediments had to be obtained in deeper water east of the oyster stations. Oysters
            were fairly common but not abundant and were attached to concrete and brick
            rubble or were loose on the bottom.

            OYSTER COLLECTIONS

            Year III - Year III stations were located as follows: Station 1 was located at the
                   boat ramp and extended east to the first set of wooden pilings. Station 2 was
                   located between the pilings and wood pier. Station 3 was located to the east
                   of the wood fishing pier.

            Years IV, V & VI - In Year IV, the Offatts Bayou site was moved to the east end of
                   the bayou to correspond to the location from which sediments were sampled
                   in Year III. The new GBOB stations were located on the 61st Street
                   causeway at the bridge which crosses.the bayou. Station 1 was on the bay
                   side of the bridge, extending from the bridge to the public launching ramp.
                   Station 2 began under the bridge (on the south side) and extended into the
                   enclosed basin part of the bayou. Station 3 was inside the small basin,
                   extending south from the bridge.

            Years  VII & VIII - Oyster collection stations were located at the same sites
                   described above.


            SEDDIENT COLLEMONS

            Years III - Sediment was collected at the east end of Offatts Bayou near the
                   shoreline. This was the only place in the bayou where mud was found. All
                   other sites had sandy bottoms.

            Years IV, V, V1, VII, & V1-11 - No sediments were sampled during these years.

              SAMPLING METHODS

                     Oysters - hand
                     Sediment - box core


              WATER DEPTH - 0 to 0.5 m.

              POSSIBLE CONTAMINANTS - No obvious point sources of contamination were
              seen; however, this bay was surrounded by housing and residential development
              and had a long-term history of pollution.

            LOCATED ON NOS CE[ART # - 11326

            SITE ACCESS - This collection site, which was established in Year III, is located
            at the mouth of Goose Creek in Tabbs-Bay. Access to the site is by boat launched at
            The Galley Restaurant and Marina, south of U.S. Highway 146 on Black Duck
            Bay.

            SITE DESCRIPTION - The three oyster stations were located approximately 150 m
            off of Tabbs Bay point in a south to north line on a submerged reef marked by
            concrete pilings. Oysters were collected with tongs in 1 to 1.5 m of water on the
            submerged reef. Numerous dead oysters were present along the reef but
            abundant young oysters were present.

            OYSTER COLLECTIONS

            Years III, IV, V7, VI, VII, & VIII - Oyster stations.in all years were from south
                   to north along the reef. Station 1 was near a group of concrete pilings.
                   Station 2 was 50 m north and Station 3 was 50 m farther north.

            SEDIMENTCOLLECTIONS

            Year III - Sediment stations were located east of the oyster stations. Station 1 was
                   collocated with the first oyster station. Station 2 was located 50 m to the east
                   and Station 3 was 50 m farther east.

            Year V - Sediment samples were taken in the same locations as described in Year


            Years I-V, V1, VII, & IV7II - No sediments were sampled during these years.

            SAMPLING MEYMODS

                   Oysters - tongs and dredge
                   Sediment - box core

            WATER DEPTH - subtidal, 1 to 1.5 m

            POSSIBLE CONTAMINANTS - Potential contamination was possible from the
            Houston Ship Channel to the west and from the Goose Creek watershed which
            drained a heavily industrialized area containing several petrochemical
            refineries.

            LOCATED ON NOS CHART # - 11342

            SITE ACCESS - The site is accessed by boat launched at the ramp on the east side
            of Sabine Lake at the base of the Highway 82 bridge at Mesquite Point. The ramp
            is on the right just after crossing into Louisiana. The site is north of the ramp at
            Blue Buck Point about a 10 minute run by boat. In some years, there were
            numerous gill nets in the area.

            SITE DESCRI]PTION - The site was at or adjacent to Blue Buck Point in the lower
            part of Sabine Lake. Oysters have been collected by hand along the shoreline and
            by tonging in deeper water offshore from the point. Oysters occured in clumps on
            the shell and mud bottom and were not overly abundant.

            OYSTER COLLECTIONS

            Year I - Oysters were collected by dredge and by hand the first year. Station 1 was
                  dredged 300 m north of Blue Buck Point at a bearing of 360' from the point,
                  110' from the middle of the ICWW bridge, and 3401 from the tall radio tower
                  to the south. Station 2 was collected by hand just offshore approximately
                  80-m south of the point. Station 3 was 350 m south of Station 2 about 10 m
                  offshore.

            Year Il - Collection sites were along the shoreline . Station 1 was collected along
                  the western margin of the lake at Blue Buck Point approximately 1 to 10 m
                  offshore. Station 1 was a composite of Stations 2 and 3 since the collectors
                  were unable to find oysters at last years station. Station 2 was just south of
                  the point and Station 3 was approximately 200 m farther south.

            Year III - Oysters were tonged 200 m offshore with Station 1 off the western edge
                  of Blue Buck Point. Station 2 was south of the point and Station 3 was 200 m
                  farther south. Oysters were scatter clumps in the sandy mud bottom.

            Year I-V - Year IV Stations were located slightly farther offshore than previously
                  sampled. Station 1 was 250 m south of the duck blind at Blue Buck Point.
                  Station 2 was 400 m southeast of the duck blind and 250 m south of Station 1,
                  located at a pole and approximately due west of several oil tanks on the
                  shore. Station 3 was 250 m south of Station 2. Numerous oysters were dead
                  or near death, the reef appeared to have had a partial die-off, and appeared
                  to be recovering.

              Years V & VI - Oysters were located along a narrow reef with a few live oysters
                     attached to dead clumps. Station 1 was 300 m west of the point. Station 2
                     was 100 m south of the point. Station 3 was 150 m south of station 2.

              Year VII - Oysters were collections were at the same stations as the previous two
                     years. Oysters were very sparse with many recently dead.

              Year VIII - Oysters were collected at the same station as the previous three years.

              SEDIMIM COLLEMONS

              Years 1, 11 & III - Each year the sediments were collected offshore in subtidal
                     waters adjacent to the respective oyster sample stations.

              Year VI - Sediment sites for NIST sediments were collocated with each oyster
                     station.

              Years IV, V, VII, & VIII - No sediments were sampled during these years.

            OYSTER COLLECTIONS

            Year I - Year I oyster Station 1 was 150 m northwest of St. John's Island on the
                  submerged reef. Bearings to Station 1 was 60' to tall channel marker; 2950
                  to near point mainland west. Station 2 was located 55' to tall channel
                  marker; 295" to near point of mainland to the west. Station 2 was 100 m
                  northeast of Station 1 and 200 m from St. John's Island. Station 3 was
                  taken 150 m west of Station 2 and 250 m. east of St. John's Island. Oysters
                  were abundant at this site.

            Years II, III & IV - Oyster stations were at the same general locations as
                  previously sampled. In Year IV, oysters were fairly abundant at the first
                  two stations and near the shore, but were silted over away from the shore.

            Years V, VIT, VII, & VIII - Oysters stations were in the same general locations all
                  four years. Station 1 was at the north end of St. Johns Island. Station 2 was
                  on the shoreline 250 m from station 1. Station 3 was 150 m northwest of
                  Station 2.


            SEDEMIENT COLLECTIONS

            Years I, Il & III - Sediment at Station 1 was 50 m from the first oyster station on
                  the reef. Station 2 sediments were adjacent to the reef to the northeast.
                  Station 3 sediments were located 40 m west of the oysters.

            Years 1-V, V, V1, VII, & VIII - No sediments were sampled during these years.

            NOM[INAL SUIE CENTER - 30003.42'N              93018.42V


            LOCATED ON NOS CELART # - 11347

            SITE ACCESS - Access to the site is via LA Highway 384 to Deatonville and a boat
            launch at the Cajun Cove Marina. The channel going out from the launch is very
            shallow at low tide. From the launch proceed northwest along the shoreline for
            -700 m to a long pier at the Reef Restaurant. In Year V the site was moved, so
            after launching proceed on a bearing of 800 from the ramp to the shell island. The
            GIWW bridge is due west of the site. Since the site was moved it is much easier to
            launch the boat at the Ellender Bridge and go up the GIWW, to the north end of
            Calcasieu Lake.

            SITE DESCREPTION - This collection site, established in Year III, was located in
            the north end of Calcasieu Lake at East Pass (30*03.50'N and 93,17.50W). Oysters
            were scattered on a submerged (0.75 to 1 m deep) muddy reef, with individual
            clumps of 3-10 oysters. Oysters were thin-shelled and broke easily when
            separated. In Year V the site was moved 1 mile to the west to an oyster shell reef
            and nearby Spartina alterniflora marshes.

            OYSTER COLLECT[ONS

            Years III & X - Year III oyster Station 1 was located 30 m. south of the end of the
                  Reef Restaurant Pier. Landmarks to locate this site were 2700 to the twin
                  towers of the Ellender Lift Bridge and 1340 to the Cajun Cove Marina ramp.
                  Station 2 was 75 m southeast of Station 1 approximately 30 m off of the
                  private piers. Station 3 was another 75 m southeast, 30 m off of the last
                  private pier.

            Year V - The collection site was relocated about a mile- west due to the lack of live
                  oysters at last year's site. The new site is a oyster shell island with marsh
                  grass nearby. Oysters can be collected by hand during low tide. Station 1
                  was located on the south, end of the shell reef just to the north of the
                  Spartina island. Station 2 was 75 m to the north and Station 3 was 100 m
                  west of Station 2.

            Years VI & VII - Oysters were collected at the same stations described in Year V.
                  There is a new orange metal post marker on the north end of the reef. An
                  oyster die off has occurred since last year, only small oysters were present.

            Year  VIII - Oysters were collected at the same stations described in Year V.
                  Oysters were more abundant and larger than the previous two years.

              SEDIMENT COLLECTIONS

              Year III - Sediments were a light gray-brown, fine-grained clayey layer over a
                     dark brown clay. Collection sites were collocated with each oyster site.

              Years IV & V - No sediments were sampled during these years.

              Years VI - NIST sediments were collected 50 m from the oyster stations in 1.5 m
                     of water.

              Years 1-V, V, VII, & VIII - No sediments were sampled during these years.

              SAMPLING MEvMODS

                     Oysters - tongs and hand
                     Sediment - box core

              WATER DEPTH - intertidal, 0.2 to 0.5 m

              POSSIBLE CONTAMINANTS - Potential local contamination was from private
              piers, septic tanks, oil production, and boat traffic in the ICWW. However, since
              the site was located at the mouth of the Calcasieu River, there was a much
              greater potential for contamination from upstream discharges particularly fiom
              the Lake Charles metropolitan area.

            Lake. Oysters were taken from intertidal waters from a mud and shell bottom.
            Low tide was the optimum collection time.

            OYSTER COLLECTIONS

            Years 1, Iff, IV & V - Year I stations were established as follows: Station 1
                  oysters and sediments were collected from the east bank of the bayou 200 m
                  north of the entrance to the Gulf with a bearing of 180' to the abandoned
                  wooden structure. There were very few oysters at Station 1. Station 2 was
                  collected from an exposed reef on the west bank of the bayou on the second
                  bend approximately 0.5 km upstream from the Gulf. Bearings to locate the
                  site were 130' to abandoned structure; 320' to deer stand. Station 3 was
                  collected from an exposed reef 60 m north of Station 2.

            Year Il - In Year II, the mouth of Joseph Bayou had been dredged a few days
                  prior to collecting. This reduced the number of oysters present but the
                  station locations were the same.

            Year V1, VII, & VIII - Stations were located in the same areas as previous years.
                  Oysters were more abundant and larger.

            SEDEMEENTCOLLECTIONS

            Years I, II & III - Sediment stations were collocated with each oyster collection
                  site.

            Years IV, V, VI, V11, & VIII - No sediments were sampled during these years.

            SAMPLING METHOD

                  Oysters - hand
                  Sediment- hand

              WATER DEPTH - intertidal, 0.2 m.

              POSSIBLE CONTAMINANTS - Dredging was the only source of contamination
              observed at the site.

            SITE NUAD3ER - 22                            DESIGNATOR - VBSP

            SITE - SOUTHWEST PASS, VERMILION BAY LA

            NOAHNAL SrIE CENTER - 29034.60'N             92002.75W

            LOCATED ON NOS CELART # - 11345,11349

            SITE ACCESS - Departure point and boat launch is at Cypremort Point State
            Park, and run time across Vermilion Bay is about 1 hour. Shoaling is very steep
            and treacherous through Southwest Pass, especially on the west side of the
            channel opposite Marsh Island. Keep in the channel until seaward of channel
            marker 3 or well into Vermilion Bay.

            SITE. DESCRIPTION - The site was located adjacent to the channel outside of
            lighthouse point in lease 25918. Oysters are located at the mouth of Southwest
            Pass. Oyster reefs and private leases are ubiquitous in the area, but oysters are
            not necessarily in the same place each year. There were no significant
            geographic differences recognized in the oyster stations for this site.

            OYSTER COLLECTIONS

            Year I - Oysters were collected due east of channel marker 3 in Year 1.

            Years II & III - In Year II, only dead shells were found at the Year I site, so in
                  Years II and III, oysters were purchased from a commercial dredging boat
                  operating on private leases on the east side of channel marker 3. Therefore,
                  no distinct stations were recognized.

            Year I-V - The site was the same as in Year II and III. Oysters were purchased
                  from a commercial dredger operating to the east of the channel entrance;
                  east of channel marker 3 and south of channel marker 5. No distinct
                  stations were delineated.

            Year V - Oysters were purchased from a commercial lugger working 200 m east
                  of channel marker 3. Stations were not distinguished.

            Year VI - Oysters were purchased from a commercial lugger working 200 m west
                  of channel marker 3 (29'34.89'N, 92'03.14'W). Stations were not separated.

            Year  V11 - Oysters were dredged from the edge of a private lease approximately
                  200 to 300 m east of channel marker 3. Large oysters were not abundant but
                  many small oysters were present. All three stations were located along a
                  north-south line covering 150 m.

            Year  VIII - Oysters were collected by dredge at the same locations sampled in
                  Year VII.

              Years I, II, & III - The mud was approximately 100 m from shore. Sediments at
                     all three stations were 1-2 cm of fine-grained loose brown silt over gray clay.
                     For all years, fine-grain sediments were located northwest from channel
                     marker 3, less than 100 m from shore, and -0.5 mile from the site of the
                     oyster collections. Station 1 was 60 m offshore on a 1900 bearing from the
                     tank on shore; 185* to pair of rusty tanks; 870 to channel marker green 3.
                     Station 2 was 50 m from shore on a line from channel marker 1 to the
                     tanks. Landmarks and bearing were 286' to 4 tanks; 190' to oyster
                     sampling site. Station 3 was on a line from channel marker 3 to the tanks
                     -100 m from the shore.

              Years I-V, V, VI, VII, & VIII - No sediments were sampled during these years.

              SAMPLINGMETHOD

                     Oysters - dredge
                     Sediment - box core

              WATER DEPTH - subtidal, 1.5 to 2 m

              POSSIBLE CONTAMINANTS - No point sources were identified other than oil
              wells in Vermilion Bay.

           SITE DESCRIPTION - The site that was originally examined is a dead oyster reef
           at the mouth of Oyster Bayou (through Marsh Island) adjacent to spartina marsh
           along the shoreline. No oysters were sampled/available; sediments were
           sampled. - This site was located on the southeast side of Marsh Island. With the
           help of the Louisiana Fish and Wildlife Department, we found the very old shell
           rubble reefs but no living oysters of any size. Oystermen of the area reported no
           living oysters were known to be in the entire area of East Cote Blanche. The site
           was deleted from study as no alternate site in the geographic area was available.

            LOCATED ON NOS CHART # - 11351

            SITE ACCESS - The only access to the site is by a 1 hour boat ride. The only
            launch ramp is at Dularge Sporting Goods. Proceed south on Bayou Dularge,
            across. Caillou Lake into the open Gulf and then west along the beach front to
            Oyster Bayou. A more circuitous route is possible through Lake Merchant,
            winding through the bayou to Four Leagues Bay, then south to Oyster Bayou.
            However, the bayou is shallow and should not be attempted with boat draft of 2 feet
            or more or at low tide.

            SITE DESCRIPTION - The sampling stations were located throughout the length
            of the Oyster Bayou which joined Four League Bay with the Gulf of Mexico on the
            south. Oysters were extremely abundant and were obtained either with a dredge
            or collected by hand along the shore. However, the entire area was leased by Mr.
            Wilson Voisin. Oysters could be obtained only with his permission or purchased
            by the sack from his boats when they were oystering.

            OYSTER COLLECTIONS - In all years when oysters were collected by hand,
            dredge or purchased, the sampling stations were: Station 1 was at the mouth of
            the bayou, along the west bank; Station 2 on a reef paralleling the west side of the
            bayou -300 m north of the shrimp drying facility; and Station 3 was a large reef in
            Four League Bay at the north end of Oyster Bayou. Landmarks included the
            channel entrance marker, an abandoned shrimp drying facility, and the ends of
            the bayou where it entered the bay and Gulf.

            Year I - Oysters were collected by hand.

            Year If- Oyster were purchased from a commercial oyster dredge.

            Year Iff - Oyster were collected by dredge.

            Year IV - The stations. sampled in Year IV were the same as were sampled for all
                   previous years. Oysters were dredged at Station 1 and collected by hand
                   near the shore at Stations 2 and 3.

            Year V - Oysters were purchased from Mr. Wilson Voisin. They were dredged by
                   a lugger working on the north end of the bayou between Station 1 and 2. No
                   stations were designated. A recent freeze had killed all of the oysters along
                   the shoreline and to a depth of 1 m due to extreme low tides.

            Year   VI - Oysters were collected this year since the area was closed due to
                   excessive freshwater. Station I was dredged at the north end of Oyster
                   Bayou on the west side of the channel. Station 2 was collected by hand &om

                     a reef on the west side of the channel across from the three buildings.
                     Station 3 was also on the west bank approximately 0.5 mi north of the
                     mouth of Oyster Bayou and 300 m south of the shrimp drying facility ruins.

              Year VII - Oyster collection Stations 1 and 2 were located at the same sites as last
                     year. Station 3 was just to the south of station 2. Oysters were abundant
                     this year.

              Year VIII - Oysters were collected at the same locations sampled in Year VIL

              SEDDIENTCOLLEMONS

              Years I, II, & Iff - Sediment Station 1 was located in a small cove on the west
                     bank at the mouth of Oyster Bayou. Station 2 was located on the east side
                     shoreline- 0.5 miles north of Station 1 and was 300 m south of the shrimp
                     dryer at a fringe marsh along the east shore. Station 3 was located north of
                     Station 2 on the east shore 0.5 miles south of an abandoned shrimp drying
                     plant. Station 3 was at the southernmost piling of the old dock at the three
                     wooden buildings with rusty tin roofs. Sediments were variable but were
                     generally soft gray-black mud.

              Years.1-V, V, VI, VII, & VIII - No sediments were sampled during these years.

              SAMPLINGMETHOD

                     Oyster - hand, dredge or purchase
                     Sediment - box core

              WATER DEPTH - intertidal to subtidal, 0 to 2 m

              POSSIBLE CONTAAHNANTS - No sources were observed.

           LOCATED ON NOS CHART # - 11356

           SITE ACCESS - A boat launch is at Bayou Dularge Sporting Goods at the end of
           LA Highway 315. Take Bayou Dularge southwest to the channel separating Lake
           Caillou and Lake Merchant and turn south toward the Fish and Wildlife Camp on
           the island'. Run time to the site is 0.5 hrs.

           SITE DESCRIPTION - The site was located in Lake Caillou on a submerged reef
           running from channel marker 16 to Fish and Wildlife Camp. The reef was
           usually closed to oystering, and it was necessary to notify the F&WL camp prior to
           sampling. Dredging or tonging was required.

           OYSTER COLLECTIONS

           Year I - Oysters were patchy on the bottom running on a line from the channel
                  marker to the camp, and could only be located by feeling the bottom with a
                  bamboo pole. No station distinctions were made at this open water subtidal
                  site because of the sparsity of oysters.

           Year II - Oysters were dredged from the same location as the first year.

           Year III - Year III oysters were abundant and were easily dredged.

           Year 1-V - In Year IV, the oysters were dredged from approximately the same
                  location as was sampled in all previous years. The dredging was done
                  between channel markers 14 and 16, in front of the F&WL camp, and about
                  150 m east.

           Year V - Oysters were dredged from the same general locations as previously
                  sampled. Station 1 oysters were collected between channel marker 16 and
                  the F&WL camp. Stations 2 and 3 were collected 200 m south of channel
                  marker 16 where the reef runs north-south. The bottom was soft mud and
                  scattered shell.

           Year VI - All three oyster stations were dredged from the same area as previously
                  sampled (29'15.42'N, 90055.91'W). Calliou Lake was opened two weeks for
                  commercial oysters just prior to our sampling. Because of this oysters were
                  not abundant.

           Years  VII & VIII - Oysters were collected in the same general locality. Several
                  tows of the dredge were made approximately 50 to 100 m east of channel
                  marker 14 on line to the F&WL camp. Oysters were abundant but distinct
                  stations were not recognized due to the limited size of the reef.

              SEDDMENT COLLECTIONS

              Years 1, 11, & HI - Sediments were located to the north of the oyster site, along the
                     shoreline which separated Bayou DuLarge from Lake Caillou. Sediment
                     Station 1 (in all years) was located at the base of channel marker 18. Station
                     2 was located at the mouth of a small cove 300 m to the east. Station 3 was
                     located -100 m from the shore at a large cove which was due north of the
                     FV%rL Camp. Sediments were variable, Stations 1 and 2 were dark gray silty
                     mud with a thin brown top layer. Station 3 was stiff gray clay with a coarse
                     sandy mud layer on top.

              Years IV, V, VI, VIT & VIII - No sediments were sampled during these years.

            NOAHNAL SITE CENTER - 29015.60'N              90035.70V

            LOCATED ON NOS CHART # - 11357

            SITE ACCESS - Access to the site is by boat launched in Cocodrie at the Coco
            Marina and then north on Bayou Petit Caillou. Turn right (east) into Lapeyrouse
            Canal and proceed to Bayou Terrebonne, turn south and proceed to the third cut
            into Bay la Fleur. Run time to the site is approximately 0.5 hrs.

            SITE DESCRIPTION - The three stations were located along Bayou Terrebonne.
            In Year 1, Stations 1 and 2 were on the west side of the channel and Station 3 was
            on the east side. In Year II and following years, Station 1 and 3 were reversed
            and Station 2 remained unchanged.

            OYSTER COLLECTIONS

            Year I - Station 1 was off Bayou Terrebonne in a small bay on the west side of the
                  bayou about 0.5 miles north of Lake Barre. Landmarks and bearing were:
                  265' to LUMCON tower; 163' to green channel marker 3, and 106' to the
                  Montegert water tower. Station 2 was located upstream at the mouth of
                  bayou in grass near an old fishing camp on Bayou Terrebonne at the first
                  cut to the west into Bayou Lucien. Bearings were 258' to LUMCON; 116' to
                  the green channel marker 1. Oysters and sediments were taken near the
                  remains of a galvanized corrugated iron shed and wood dock in intertidal
                  waters on the northwest shore. Station 3 was farther north on Bayou
                  Terrebonne at the next cut (Lake Barre pass) to the east which was the first
                  cut to the east north of Seabreeze Pass. This cut connected to Bay la Fleur
                  on the east side of Terrebonne Bayou. Oysters were from an intertidal reef
                  on southwest shore and sediments from subtidal waters. The reef was
                  exposed at low tide. Oysters were abundant at all three sample areas.

            Years 11, 111, IV, V & VI - Stations 1 and 3 were reversed these years.

            Years VII & VIII - Stations were located in the same sites sampled the previous
                  five years. Station 1 on the north, Station 2 in the middle and Station 3 was
                  on the south end of the bayou.

            SEDDIENT COLLECTIONS

            Years 1, 11, & III - Sediment collections were collocated with each of the oyster
                  stations.

            Years I-V, V, V1, V11, & VIII - No sediments were sampled during these years.

            SITE NUMBER - 27                              DESIGNATOR - TBLF

            SITE - LAKE FELICITY, TERREBONNE BAY LA

            NOARNAL SITE CENTER - 29015.80'N              90024.40W

            LOCATED ON NOS CHART # - 11357

            SITE ACCESS - The launch/departure point is Coco Marina at Cocodrie or the
            boat ramp at LUMCON, and the run time is -1.5 hours to the site by boat. A deep
            draft outboard must enter and cross Terrebonne Bay to Lake Felicity. A shallow
            draft outboard can shortcut up the bayou to enter and cross Lake Barre (see
            directions for TBLB). The site is located at an abandoned and dilapidated fish
            camp on the southeast side of Lake Felicity, near Bayou Point Au Chien.
            Landforms in the area bear little resemblance to any maps or charts of the area
            and navigation to the site by reference to shoreline features as depicted in charts
            is nearly impossible.

            SITE DESCREPTION - The oysters were intertidal and interspersed in the grass
            beds on the small islands surrounding the fish camp. The only landmark in
            locating the oyster stations was the fish camp structure, which burned down in
            Year III.


            OYSTER COLLECTIONS

            Years I, II, &III - Station 1 was located at southeast corner of bay, south of
                  channel marker 5 for Felicity Bayou at an abandoned fish camp. Station 1
                  was located on the island (grass covered flat) at the abandoned fish camp.
                  Station 2 was a subtidal Spartina bed across the channel on the island
                  bearing 162' from the fish camp. Station 3 was a subtidal grass bed west of
                  the fish camp on the island bearing 240' from the fish camp.

            Years IV & V - Prior to the Year IV sampling, the fish camp had burned to the
                  ground. In Year IV, Stations 1 and 3 were in the same locations but Station
                  2 was moved due to the lack of oysters. The new Station 2 was located
                  approximately 200 m northwest (320 bearing from Station 1) of the dock at
                  the fish camp. Station 2 is a small reef at the edge of the Spartina marsh.

            Year  W, V11, & VIII - Oysters were collected at the same locations as sampled
                  last five years.

            SEMIEW COLLEC`ITONS

            Years 1, If, & III - Sediments are silty mud and collocated with the oysters.
                  Sediments were taken from the subtidal waters adjacent to each of the
                  oyster stations.

            Years IV, V, VT VIT & VIII - No sediments were sampled during these years.

               POSSIBLE CONTAMINANTS - There were no obvious sources of contamination
               in the vicinity except for the very large producing oil and gas field in Terrebonne
               Bay between Lake Barre and Lake Felicity.

                LOCATED ON NOS CHART # - 11358

                SITE ACCESS - The site is accessed by boat, launching at the Happy Jack
                Marina in Point Sulfur or the Cheramines Marina in Grand Isle. From
                Grand Isle proceed north up the Barataria Waterway to green channel
                marker 31. Islands and landforms have changed since the chart was
                published, and the land forms provide little reference for determining
                position. Run time to the site is approximately 1 hr.

                SITE DESCRIPTION - This site was located in Bayou Cholas on the west
                side of Barataria Bay and the Barataria Waterway. Oysters have been
                collected in the bay area and along the shoreline of the small island on the
                north side of the bay.

                OYSTER COLLECTIONS

                Years I & Il - Oysters in Years I and II were taken from intertidal mud
                      and sand bottom on the west side of island west of green channel
                      marker 31. The oysters found were very. old and few in numbers.
                      Year I oysters were purchased from a commercial lugger working
                      on the reefs in the area. Station 1 was on the south part of the island,
                      at a bearing of 360 0 to channel marker 9. Station 2 was 120 m north
                      of Station 1. Landmark bearings were 121' to channel marker 9; 20'
                      to channel marker 11. Station 3 was 100 m north of Station 2.
                      Bearing were 65 0 to pipeline platform and 2851 to channel marker 9.

                Year  III - Year III stations were on a submerged reef west of Barataria
                      Waterway between channel marker 30 and 33, near several small
                      islands to the west in Bayou Cholas. Station 1 was on a bearing of 30'
                      to green marker 13 and 105' to marker 9. Station 2 was 50 m to the
                      south, and Station 3 was another 50 m south.

                Year IV - Due to the lack of oysters at the stations sampled in Year III, the
                      sample location was moved approximately 500 m to the east. Year IV
                      stations were located on the island directly west of channel marker
                      33. Station 1 was on the east end of the island (nearest the channel)
                      and extended along the south facing shoreline for 50 m. Station 2
                      was in the middle part of the island and was 50 m due west of Station
                      1. Station 3 was on the west end of the island next to Station 2.

                Year  V - Stations collected this year were those described in Year IV.
                      Oysters were scarce. There were numerous dead oysters and fish
                      due to the recent hard freeze.

                   Year VI - There were no oysters on the island this year so the site was
                           moved back to the submerged reef. Stations sampled in Year III
                           were resampled this year.

                   Year VII - There were no live oysters found in this part of the bay.

                   Year VIII - Oysters were present again this year, but were scarce and
                           small. Stations sampled in Year III were resampled this year.

                   SEDIMENT COLLECTIONS


                   Years I & Il - Sediments were taken from subtidal areas west of channel
                           marker 26.

                   Year 111 - Sediments were taken adjacent to the reef 30-40 m east of each
                   station.

                   Year 1"V - Sediments were collected 100 to 150 m south of each oyster station
                           in 1 to 1.5 m of water.

                   Years V, V1, VII, & VIII- Sediments were not sampled during these years.

                   SAMPLINGMETHOD

                           Oysters - commercial dredge, tongs, and hand
                           Sediments - box core

                   WATER DEPTH - intertidal or subtidal, 0.3 to 3 meters

                   POSSIBLE CONTAMINANTS - Contamination factors included marine
                           traffic, dredging, and a compressor station.

               NONUNAL SI`IE CENrIER - 29cl6.55W             89056.53W

               LOCATED ON NOS CMMU # - 11358,11365

               SITE ACCESS - During the first two years of the study, the boat was
               launched at the High Point Marina, Point Sulfur. The run from this point
               is at least 2 hours.      The site is now accessed by boat launched at
               Cheramines Marina in Grand Isle. From the marina, proceed east across
               Barataria Pass to the Louisiana Fish and Wildlife Camp on the
               northwestern tip of the westernmost island of the Grand Terre Islands.
               Run time is less than 10 minutes.

               SITE DESCRIPTION - This site was located in Spartina alterniflora marsh
               along the channel going to the Grand Terre F&WL station on the east side
               of the channel to F&WL camp harbor. The site was only 10 minutes &om
               Grand Isle. Oysters and sediments during Years I, II and III were
               collected from intertidal waters inside the Fish and Wildlife boat.basin.
               Oysters were found scattered on the mud and sand bottom. There were very
               few oysters during Year II. There was a reported die-off after the first
               year's collection.

               OYSTER COLLECTIONS

               Years I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, & VIII - Station locations for oyster
                      collections were: Station 1 - located at the dock; Station 2 - 50 m to the
                      north; Station 3 - 70 m north of Station 2. Station locations were the
                      same for all eight years.

               SEDIM19*-U COLLECTIONS

               Years 1, 11, & III - Sediments were collected along the channel adjacent to
                      each of the oyster stations.

               Years IV, V, VT V11, & VII1'- Sediments were not sampled during these
                      years.

               SAMPLINGMETHOD

                      Oysters - hand
                      Sediment - hand

               WATER DEPTH - intertidal, 0 to 0.5 meters

               POSSIBLE CONTAMINANTS - Possible contamination would be from Fish
               and Wildlife bottom-fouling paint and possibly from pesticides.

                NOM[INAL SITE CENTER - 29'030.67'N             90005.OOW

                LOCATED ON NOS CHART # - 11352

                SITE ACCESS - Access to this collection site is at the marina at the end of
                LA Highway 45. By boat proceed north on Barataria Waterway and turn left
                into Bayou Rigolettes. Follow Bayou Rigolettes south of Harvey Cutoff and
                then south to Turtle Bay.         In Turtle Bay proceed southeast for
                approximately 1.2 miles past the mouth of Long Bay to the mouth of Bayou
                St. Denis past several small islands en route.

                SITE DESCRIPTION - The site, established in Year III, was located on the
                south side of the entrance to Bayou St. Denis from Little Lake at a row of red
                and white poles which parallel the shoreline to the south. Oysters were not
                abundant; therefore distinct stations were not established. Oysters were
                dredged from a black muddy bottom which contained numerous dead
                shells. Landmarks to locate the site were: 110* to a small treed island and
                30' to a green camp house and silver storage tank.

                OY91ER COLLECTIONS

                Year III - Station 1 was at the north end of the island 50 m from shore.
                      Station 2 was 20 m offshore, opposite the oyster dredge site. Station 3
                      was at the south end of the dredge site in a small cove 20 m from
                      shore.

                Years IV, V, VI, V11, & VIII - This site was not sampled during these
                      years.

                SEDDIENT COLLECTIONS

                Year III - Sediments were taken along the shoreline to the south.
                      Sediments were black fine silty mud with detrital matter and an
                      obvious H2S odor.

                Years IV, V, VT V11, & VIII - Sediments were not sampled during these
                      years.

                SAMPLING NIETHODS

                      Oysters - dredge
                      Sediment - box core

               SITE - MISSISSIPPI RIVER, TIGER PASS            LA

               NOMINAL SITE CENTER - 29008.69'N               89025.67V

               LOCATED ON NOS CHART # - 11361

               SITE ACCESS - Access to the site is by boat. From the boat launch at the
               Venice Marina proceed down Tiger Pass; this takes 0.5 to 1 hour depending
               on weather conditions. It is best not to go to the site in foggy weather. The
               mouth of Tiger Pass is bordered by a jetty on both sides; proceed past the
               jetty on the north side to channel marker 7 then turn north and go back to
               the shoreline. The site is directly north of the jetty and channel marker 9.

               SITE DESCRIPTION - This site, established in Year III, was located on the
               west side of the Mississippi River delta near the mouth of Tiger Pass. The
               site was on the southwest shoreline of a small smooth cordgrass island.
               The site was located near a telephone pole at the edge of the marsh.

               OYSTER COLLECTIONS

               Year III - Individual stations were contiguous along the shoreline. Station
                     1 was along the shoreline just north of where the Tenneco pipeline
                     canal ran into the bay on the east and southeast from the pole at
                     Station 2. Station 2 was the next -100 m of shoreline to the north
                     across from the telephone pole with two bolts. The pole was
                     approximately 20 m from the shoreline. Station 3 was northwest
                     from the pole UP to where the canal forms the northwest boundary of
                     the marsh island. Oysters at all three sites were found lying in the
                     edge of the marsh in the smooth cordgrass marsh.

               Year rV - The same three stations were again sampled, except that Station
                     3 was combined with Station 2 because of the scarcity of oysters in the
                     Station 3 location. Station 2 oysters were larger and more abundant
                     than in the initial sampling in Year III.

               Year V - There were very few oysters present this year. Due to the scarcity
                     of oysters, Stations 1 and 2 were not distinguished. All the oysters in
                     the area were collected and split into two groups. Station 3 was in the
                     same location as previous years. The number of oysters has
                     decreased each year and it may be necessary to move this site.

               Year  V1 - The same site was collected this year. Oysters were almost
                     depleted from this area and only a partial set of oyster samples were
                     collected this year. Additional sites in the immediate vicinity were
                     examined but no oysters were present.           There was no oyster
                     reproduction occurring at this site and there were no oysters
                     remaining to be collected, therefore a new site farther to the north
                     should be established.

                   Year VII - The same site was collected this year. Oysters were not
                           abundant thus distinct sites were not recognized.

                   Year VIII - The same stations sampled in Year V were resampled this
                           year; however, dinstinct stations were not recognized since oysters
                           were not abundant.


                   SEDDIENTCOLLECTIONS

                   Year III - Sediments were collected offshore of the oyster stations.
                           Sediments were composed of fine silty muds taken 20-50 m offshore
                           from the oyster stations. Station 1 was at the southeast point of the
                           marsh island, Station 2 was 20 m offshore from the oysters. Station 3
                           was northwest across the channel from the oysters.

                   Years IV, V, 'V7, VII, & VIII - Sediments were not sampled during these
                           years.

                   SAMPLINGMETHOD

                           Oysters - hand
                           Sediments - box core

                   WATER DEPTH - intertidal, 0 to 0.1 meters

                   POSSIBLE CONTAMINANTS - No known sources of contamination were
                   visible.

               LOCATED ON NOS CHART # - 11361

               SITE ACCESS - The departure point for this site established in Year III is
               from the Venice Marina. From the boat basin, head upstream to the main
               fork of the Mississippi River and proceed downstream to Head of Passes. At
               this point, take the east fork holding to the south shore to avoid the large
               sandbar at the entrance to Pass a Loutre. Proceed east to the first cut to the
               south and proceed to the Louisiana Fish and Wildlife Headquarters which
               is located south of the entrance to Johnson Pass. The Louisiana Fish and
               Wildlife personnel provided guidance to the site the first year. Proceed back
               upstream to Loomis Pass, turn to the southeast into the pass and proceed
               downstream entering Cognevich Pass and on into the Gulf of Mexico. At
               this point, turn north to the mouth of Redfish Bay. No attempt should be
               made to travel to this site except in calm weather.

               SITE DESCRIPTION - The site is located at the extreme southeast edge of
               Redfish Bay just north of the last small island. Prominent landmarks are
               the Port Eads Lighthouse (240') at South Pass and the Exxon platform with
               green tanks (350').

               OYSTER COLLECTIONS

               Year III - No distinct oyster stations were established at this site. Oysters
                      were located by poling and occur in scattered areas of large clumps of
                      old large oysters. This was an old reef which has silted over with fine
                      sediment. Oysters were collected with tongs and are difficult to break
                      loose from the reef.

               Year   rV - Oysters were collected by dredge in the same area that was
                      tonged in Year III. Sampling was difficult because of windy
                      conditions and the overall sparsity of live oyster beds. Dredging
                      yielded barely enough for two replicates. The site was located about.
                      200 m east of the seawardmost pole marking the entrance to Johnson
                      Pass, and on a line to the small barrier island. The only way to find
                      the isolated scatterings of oysters in the soft mud was to randomly
                      dredge or feel the bottom with a bamboo pole. This did not
                      distinguish live and dead reefs. Oysters could not be hand picked
                      from the marsh plants on the nearby islands because the mud was
                      far too soft to walk on and the water was too shallow to approach by
                      boat.

               Year   V - Oysters were again dredged from along the north side of the last
                      Phragmites island on line with Port Eads lighthouse and the green
                      oil tanks (29'04.30'N, 89'04.60'W). Oysters were found primarily on
                      roots and old crabs pots and were very scarce. It required 2 hours of


                                                     303







                        dredging to obtain enough oysters for three replicates. The substrate
                        was a black anoxic mud.

                 Year VI - This site was not sampled this year.

                 Year WI - The site was moved slightly to the north and west of the Year V
                        site. Oysters were dredged from a linear submerged reef west of the
                        small Phragmites island. The site was approximately 500 m due
                        south of the green oil tanks located near the north end of Redfish Bay.
                        The reef was very narrow and difficult to locate.

                 Year VIII - Oysters were dredged from the south end of the linear reef
                        described in Year VII. Distinct stations were not recognized since
                        extensive dredging was required to obtain an adequate sample.

                 SEDIMENT COLLECTIONS


                 Year III - Three sediment stations were established on the reef -100 m
                        apart. Fine grained silty sediment were mixed with shell.

                 Years X, V, VT VII, & VIIl - Sediments were not sampled during these
                        years.

                 SAMPLING ME'I'HODS

                        Oyster - tongs or dredge
                        Sediment - box core

                 WATER DEPTH - subtidal, 1 to 5 meters

                 POSSIBLE CONTAMINANTS - The only point sources were the nearby oil
                 productions facilities in the upper part of Redfish Bay.

               SITE DESCRIPTION - This site was located on small unnamed islands
               between Bayou Lost and Lonesome Island. Oysters were abundant. No
               visible contamination factors were observed.


               OYSTER COLLECTIONS

               Year I - Oysters were collected by dredge off the western tip of the island.
                      Landmarks used to located the position are: 68' -to the Fish and
                      Wildlife camp, 129' to white grain elevators, and 293' to the oil
                      terminal.

               Years II & 11 - In all years, Station 1 was collected on the westernmost tip
                      of the island on the south side of Bayou Lost near Pintail Point in Bay
                      Gardene. Station 2 was 100 m to the east of Station 1. Station 3 was
                      100 m to the east of Station 2.

               Years IV, V, V1, VIT & VIII - The stations sampled were the same as in
                      previous years, along the east end of the island at the Fish & Wildlife
                      camp on the south shore of Bayou Lost.

                NOMINAL SITE CENTER - 29024.11'N               89029.10W

                LOCATED ON NOS CHART # - 11364

                SITE ACCESS - During the first two years, access to the site was by boat which
                was launched at Point a La Hache Marina. Proceed southeast on Back Levee
                Canal to Fucich Bayou. Fucich Bayou enters California Bay and channel
                markers are followed to California Point. Avoid the shoals at California Point by
                staying near the platform structure off the point where the telephone lines
                appear to end. Turn south from California point and cross through the oil field
                to Sable Island. Travel time by boat is 1 to 1.5 hours, and the open water
                crossing at California Bay and south to Sable Island requires a calm day and/or
                a larger protected boat. In Years III-V of the study, the boat was launched at
                the Venice Marina. There are several way to reach the site but the easiest is to
                go up the Mississippi River to the Ostrica Canal Locks and then out the private
                channel across Quarantine Bay to Sable Island. Run time to the. site is still
                about an hour. In Year VI a new launch site was used at Delta Marine in
                Empire. It is necessary to go through the Empire Lock then down river to the
                Ostrica Lock, but the run time is much shorter than coming up, river.

                SITE DESCRIPTION           The site surrounded Sable Island. Oyster reefs were
                ubiquitous around the island, but live oysters were found by trial and error. The
                best oyster beds were on the southwest end of the island.

                OYSTER COLLECTIONS

                Years I & Il - Oysters were found by commercial oystermen on the north side of
                      the island in Year I (29'24.70N. 89'28.70'W)(with limited success), and
                      were more abundant on the south side in Year II (29*24.20'N, 89*28.80'W)
                      (again with a commercial dredger collecting the samples). Landmarks to
                      help locate the area were: Station 1 - 245' to well nearest north shore; 310'
                      to tanks nearest large platform. Station 2 - 20' to the nearest well on the
                      north shore; 257' to platform with 4 pipes and 3 tanks. Station 3 - 262' to
                      platform with 3 pipes and 3 tanks; 344' to nearest large platform on the
                      north side of the island.

                Year III - In Year III, oysters were hand collected at Station 1 on the northwest
                      shore of Sable Island (29'24.21'N, 89'29.10'W), oysters were not abundant.
                      Oysters at Stations 2 and 3 were purchased from commercial fishermen
                      who were operating just offshore.

                Year 1-V - The oysters were collected by dredge in the area between the larger
                      part of Sable Island and the smaller mostly shell island to the north
                      (29023.94'N, 89029.09'W). Oysters for all three sites were taken from a
                      marked leased area about 200 m west of the well jacket with a red beacon
                      light. Oysters were plentiful on a mud bottom in 1 m of water.

                  Year V - Oysters were dredged on the northwest side of the island along the edge
                        of the reef approximately 50 m from the island. All stations were obtained
                        along a 500 m area (29'24.32'N, 89*29.05'W). Oysters were not plentiful.

                  Year V1 - All three stations were located off of the southwest end of the island
                        (29024.20'N, 89029.04'W). Station 1 was located on the south end and west
                        side of the island. Station 2 was approximately 100 m farther southwest.
                        Station 3 was another 100 m to the southwest of Station 2. Oysters were
                        sparse at Stations 1 and 2 and abundant at Station 3.

                  Year VII - Oysters were collected near the same stations described for Year VI,
                        but the stations were shifted slightly to the southwest. Oysters were
                        moderately abundant with numerous mussels attached.

                  Year VIII - Oysters were collected at the station described for Year VII.
                        Mussels were very numerous,, covering most of the oyster shell.

                  SEDIMENT COLLECTIONS

                  Years 1, 11, & III - Sediments were available nearshore on the south side. In all
                        years'  sediments were collected at three stations -50 m apart on the south
                        side of the island. Sediments were gray-brown silt over dark black mud.

                  Years X, V, VI, VII, & VIII - Sediments were not sampled during these
                        years.

                  SAMPLINGMETHOD

                        Oysters - dredge and hand
                        Sediment - box core

                  WATER DEPTH - subtidal, 0.3 to 2.5 meters

                  POSSIBLE CONTAMINANTS - Obvious sources of contamination included
                  extensive oil and gas platforms to the north and west (closer than 0.5 mile) and
                  widespread oil and gas development in the overall delta area east of the river.

               LOCATED ON NOS CHART # - 11371

               SITE ACCESS - Access to the site is via LA Highway 39 to Shell Beach. At
               Shell Beach, launch in Bayou- Yscloskey and proceed north across the
               Mississippi River Gulf Outlet Canal and into to Lake Borgne. Enter the
               lake and proceed to the west side of Old Fort Beauregard. Run time to the
               site is Jess than 0.5 hours.

               SITE DESCRIPTION - Oysters were collected from intertidal waters in
               mud. They were attached to bricks from the historic fort. The site was
               located on the west side of Old Fort Beauregard. Oysters were abundant.

               OYSTER COLLECTIONS

               Year I - Station 1 was in the southeast part of the small cove 100 m west of
                     channel marker 2. Station 2 was 60 m north of Station 1, 150 m west
                     of channel marker 2. Station 3 was 60 m north of Station 2, 200 m
                     west of channel marker 2. Oysters were collected with a commercial
                     dredge.

               Years II, III X, VI & VII - The oysters were collected by hand along the
                     shore west of the Fort. Station 1 was on the west side by the shore.
                     Station 2 was approximately 50 m north of Station 1 by the rock
                     rubble, and Station 3 was 70 m west of Station 2 by the mud flat.

               Year V111 - The same stations were collected again this year, but oysters
                     were less abundant.


               SEDEMEENT COLLECTIONS

               Years I & II - Sediments were taken 300 m offshore in subtidal waters
                     northwest of the channel markers.

               Year III - Sediments were taken 100 m offshore in a north-south transect,
                     with stations 50 m apart. Station 1 was on the north and Station 3 on
                     the south.

               Years I-V & VI - Sediments were not sampled during these years.

               Year V - Sediments were composed of soft mud and shell and were collected
                     adjacent (25 m) to each of the oyster stations in 1 m of water.

               Years V11 & V111 - Sediments were not sampled these years.

               NONUNAL SITE CENTER - 30002.,M'N               90002.57V

               LOCATED ON NOS CMMT              11369

               SITE, ACCESS - A boat is launched at the ramps located under Shoreline
               Drive Bn'idge. The site is located just to the north of the ramps in the south
               edge of Lake Pontchartrain. Travel time to the site is less than 5 minutes.
               This site cannot be sampled when there is a strong north wind due to high
               waves.


               SITE DESCREPTION - An attempt was made in Year III to establish a site
               at the Gulf Outlet on the south shore of Lake Pontchartrain. Although the
               site was recommended as being most likely to support oysters, no oysters
               were present; therefore, no stations were established nor was sediment
               collected. Based on new information, a sampling site was established in
               Year VI near the Gulf Outlet on the south side of Lake Pontchartrain. The
               site was located approximately I km north of the bridge adjacent to the New
               Orleans Lakefront Airport. Oysters occured at this site due to a salt water
               wedge that entered through the outlet. The high salinity water allowed the
               oysters to exist on the bottom near the Gulf outlet.

               OYSTER COLLECTIONS

               Year VI - The oyster stations were located along the edge of the channel in
                      deep water. Oysters were sparse, this year because the Louisiana
                      Fish and Wildlife Department had removed most of them in a
                      replanting project. Stations were not distinguished due to the sparse
                      population. Three hours of dredging was required to obtain 90
                      oysters. This station should improve in future years since the area
                      is closed to commercial luggers.

               Years V71 & V711 - Oysters were not collected at during these years.

               SEDIM]ENT COLLECTIONS

               Year V1'- The only suitable sediments were found in deep water along the
                      edge of the channel. All of the south end of the Lake had hard packed
                      sandy bottom. Station 2 was located at the coordinates given for the
                      oyster collection. Station 1 was located 200 m to the northwest and
                      Station 2 was 300 m to the east. Sediments can only be obtained by a
                      box corer equipped with a 10 m rope and a messenger.

               Years WI & VIII - Sediments were not sampled these years.

               WATER DEPTH - Oysters 4 to 5 m and greater than 5 m for sediment.

               POSSIBLE CONTAMINANTS - No obvious pollution sources were evident,
               but Lake Pontchartrain drained through this outlet and tidal water ftom
               New Orleans flushed back into the lake. There was also abundant boat and
               ship traffic.

                NOM[INAL SITE CENTER - 30018.12'N               89019.62W

                LOCATED ON NOS CHART # - 11372,11373

                SITE ACCESS - Access point in Year I was f@om Pass Christian small craft
                harbor with an approximate running time of 20 minutes. From Year II on,
                access-to the site was via automobile, taking the first exit on the west side of the
                bridge at Highway 90 and following the road south along the shoreline to
                Veterans Pier. A boat ramp was located on the south side of the jetty/pier for
                sediment sampling.

                SITE DESCRIPTION - In the first year oysters were tonged from the open
                water offshore from Bay St. Louis (30'17.75'N and 89'19.60'W). The original
                reef location off Pass Christian was dead in Year II and the site was moved
                onshore to the Veterans Pier. At the pier, oysters were attached to rocks and
                on the muddy sand bottom. Accessibility was best at low tide.

                OYSTER COLLECTIONS

                Year   I - Year I stations were located in Bay St. Louis. Station 1 was
                       approximately 0.5 to 0.75 miles south of the railroad bridge. Bearing to
                       landmarks were: 70' to the silver water tower, 230' to the center pivot
                       trestle, and 3500 to the buoy marker. Station 2 was 200 m north of Station
                       1 and Station 3 was 200 m farther north.

                Years 11 & III - During Year II no oysters were found at the Year I site. In
                       Years II and III, the site was moved to the Veteran's Pier at Bay St.
                       Louis. The oysters were intertidal and were collected by hand without
                       the use of a boat. Station 1 was on the north side of the jetty. Station 2 on
                       the seaward side of the "T" end of the jetty and under the pier. Station 3
                       was on the south side of the jetty.

                Year 1'V - In Year IV, the site was the same as in Year II & III, on Veteran's
                       pier. Stations were located as before. Construction was in process along
                       the shore, jetty and, pier and sand had been filled on the beach.
                       Additional rock rubble had been added to the "T" end of the jetty,
                       covering most of the oysters at Station 2. However oysters were more
                       plentiful and larger than in the past.

                Year V - Stations were in the same locations as previously sampled. Oysters
                       were very scarce due to the recent freeze which had killed all oysters
                       above the low tide line.

                Year V1 - There were no live oysters at Stations 2 and 3. At Station 1 there
                       were very few live oysters attached to the concrete rubble but there were
                       numerous oysters at a small reef 20 m north of the north end of the "T"

                         end of the jetty. All three stations were collected on this small reef.
                         Stations were not differentiated.

                  Year VII - This site was not sampled this year. No live oysters could be found
                         at any of the previously sampled sites nor in the surrounding bay.

                  Year V111 - No oysters were present at the Veteran Pier, so the site was mosed
                         1.65 nm to the NE (bearing 57'). The site is located at a submerged reef
                         which parallels the Highway 90 bridge. The reef lies 10 meters south of
                         the bridge on the east side of the channel in 2.5 rn of water. Oysters were
                         numerous but since the reed is small, individual stations were not
                         recognized. Loran coordinates for the new reef are 30" 18.87'N and 89'
                         ..18.05V.

                  SEDIMENT COLLECTIONS

                  Year I - Sediments were taken at 100, 150 and 175 rn south, respectively, from
                         each oyster station.

                  Year II - Sediments were obtained by box coring directly offshore from the jetty
                         at distances of 200, 400, and 600 m, respectively, for the three stations.

                  Year 111 - Sediment stations were collocated with each oyster station. Silty-
                         sand sediments were collected along the shoreline and can be reached by
                         wading.

                  Years IV, V, VI, VII, & VIII- Sediments were not sampled during these
                         years.

                  SAMPLINGMETHOD

                         Oysters - tonging and hand
                         Sediment - box core and hand

                  WATER DEPTH - 0 to 3 meters (subtidal in Year I, intertidal in succeeding
                  years)

                  POSSIBLE CONTAMINANTS - There were no obvious sources of
                  contamination nearby.

               NONEINAL SrIE CENTER - 30023.55'N              88051.45W

               LOCATED ON NOS CHART # - 11373,11372

               SITE ACCESS - No boat is necessary since this is a walk up site. Access to
               the site is via automobile, parking at the Marine Education Center on
               Highway 90 at the Biloxi-Ocean Springs bridge.

               SITE - DESCRIPTION - The sample area was along the shoreline in
               intertidal waters. Oysters were taken from the concrete bulkhead, rocks
               and debris in the water. There were a limited number of oysters at this
               location.


               OYSTER COLLECTIONS

               Years 1, 11 & III - The stations established in Year I were collected the next
                      two years also. Station 1 was adjacent to Marine Education Center.
                      Station 2 was next to the west end of the bridge on the south side.
                      Station 3 was northeast of the bridge -150 m from Station 2.

               Year I-V - In Year IV, the stations were: Station 1, under the bridge at the
                      second and third support from the west end; Station 2, at the first pier
                      support under the bridge; and Station 3, on the shoreline bulkhead
                      and into the bay. As before the oysters were collected by hand from
                      the concrete pilings, piers and concrete rubble.

               Year V - Stations 2 and 3 were in the same locations as sampled last year.
                      Station 1 was moved from under the bridge to 125 m up the shoreline
                      to near the point north of the bridge. This station was moved due to
                      the lack of live oysters. A freeze had recently killed most of the
                      oysters.

               Year VI - Stations 2 and 3 were again at the locations sampled last year.
                      Station 1 had not recovered from the freeze, so it was collected north

               LOCATED ON NOS CHART           11374,11373

               SITE ACCESS - To reach the boat ramp on the Pascagoula River turn off
               Highway 90 onto Market Street going south. When the road dead-ends at
               the beach, turn right and drive west to the end of the road. The boat is
               launched at the public ramp. Then by boat proceed west to red channel
               marker 4. Run time to the site is less than 10 minutes.

               SITE DESCRIPTION - The site was located west of the new causeway going
               to the Naval Base near the mouth of the West Pascagoula River. Oysters
               were generally abundant and were found by poling the subtidal reef. Soft
               mud sediments were found adjacent to the reef at each collection point.
               Oysters were abundant.

               OYSTER COLLECTIONS

               Years I, II, & III - Year I stations were centered around red channel
                     marker 4. Station 1 was 100 m east of red channel marker 4.
                     Bearing to permanent landmarks were: 801 to grain elevators and
                     260' to Bellefontaine Point Lighthouse. Station 2 was at the red
                     channel marker 4 (80' to grain elevators; 255' to the lighthouse ).
                     Station 3 was. 150 m west of red channel marker 4 (80' to the grain
                     elevators and 262' to the lighthouse). Oysters were collected by
                     tonging.

               Year  rV - As in Year III, the site was centered around channel marker 4
                     which was just west of the new causeway and west of Ingalls
                     shipyard. Station 1 was about 100 m east of the marker in shallow
                     water which had been affected by silting from dredging operations.
                     Oysters were smaller and fewer live ones were present than at other
                     stations. Station 2 had to be moved from the marker to about 200-300
                     m north of the marker where a small iron pipe and a cane pole
                     marked the channel. Oysters here were prolific and fairly large.
                     Station 3 was 150 m west of the marker.       It also had oysters in
                     abundance. The whole area around the site was closed to oystering
                     by the health department. Oysters were collected by dredging.

               Year  V - Stations were located in the same areas as sampled last year.
                     Oysters were collected by tongs this year.

               Year  Vr - The site was centered around channel marker 4 (30'20.55'N,
                     88'35.96'W). Station 1 was 100 to 200 m east of the marker. Station 2
                     was at channel marker 4. Station 3 was 100 to 200 m west of the
                     channel marker. Oysters were very abundant at all three stations.








                 Years VII & VIII        All three stations were centered around channel
                        marker 4. Station 1 was in the same area as last year, 100 to 150 m
                        east of the marker. Station 2 was moved slightly north (50 to 150 m)
                        of the marker. Station 3 was 150 m west of the marker. Oysters were
                        abundant at all three stations.

                 SEDIM]ENT COLLECTIONS

                 Years 1, 11, & III - Sediments were gray and brown mud mixed with sand.
                        Collection sites were north of each site within 75 to 100 m.

                 Years IV, V, VI, VII, & V111 - Sediments were not samp        led during these

                                            ALABAMA SITES

               SITE NUMBER - 36                              DESIGNATOR - MBCP

               SITE - CEDAR POINT REEF, MOBILE BAY, AL

               NOMINAL SITE CENTER - 30018.70'N              88008.OOV

               LOCATED ON NOS CHAHr # - 11376,11378

               SITE ACCESS - Boat launch is at the small bridge just north of the Dauphin
               Island causeway bridge. The site is located directly east of the middle part of
               Cedar -Point. At low tide the site can be reached by walking across the shallow
               sandbar on the north end of the reef. By boat the site is 10 to 15 minutes from
               the launch site.

               SITE DESCRIPTION - The site was located on an oyster reef 0.25 mile offshore
               and east from the highway leading to the causeway bridge to Dauphin Island.
               The reef was almost due east of the Cedar Point fishing pier which was on the
               west side of the highway.

               OYSTER COLLECTIONS

               Year I - Oysters were tonged from 2-3 m of water at a site approximately 0.75
                     miles east of the Dauphin Island highway. Station 1 was at bearings
                     180' to center of ICW bridge; 2800 to Alabama Port Point, and 134' to Fort
                     Gaines. Station 2 was 500 m to the south at bearings 1800 to the center of
                     ICWW bridge; 2831 to Alabama Port Point and 133' to Fort Gaines.
                     Station 3 was 300 m southeast of Station 2. Bearing to local landmarks
                     were 178' to center of the ICWW bridge; 278' to Alabama Port Point, and
                     122' to Fort Gaines.

               Year  H - Sampling stations were distinguishable during Year I but not in
                     Year II because of the scarcity of the oyster population. Oysters were
                     purchased from a commercial tonger who had been working for 7 hours
                     to tong only 180 oysters.

               Year III - Year III oysters were tonged east of the causeway on a submerged
                     reef. Station 1 was on the south end of the reef. Station 2 was 50 m north
                     of Station 1 and Station 3 was another 75 m to the north. There were
                     several oystermen tonging in the immediate vicinity.

               Year IV - In Year IV, the oysters were sampled by hand at low tide on a sand
                     and shell reef to the east of the causeway adjacent to the Cedar Point
                     fishing pier. Station 1 was at the south end of the reef, Station 3 was at
                     the north end; Station 2 was in the middle. Total distance from Stations
                     1 to 3 was 150 m and water depth at low tide was 0.2 m. The oysters were
                     not abundant.

               Year  V - Sampling stations were located on the same reef in the same
                     positions as sampled last year. Oysters were very sparse, perhaps
                     because of the recent freeze.  357

                  Year VI - Oysters were collected at the same locations again this year. Oysters
                         were more abundant this year.

                  Years VII & VIII - Oysters sites were at the same locations as described in
                         Year IV.

                  SEDIMENT COLLECTIONS

                  Year I - Sediment sites in Year I were 25, 125 and 115 m east, respectively, for
                         each station.

                  Year Il - Sediment sites were south from the oyster sites in close proximity to
                         the bridge pilings. Station 1 was located at the eighth bridge pillar from
                         the north end of causeway; Station 2 was 0.25 mile south of the north end
                         of the causeway bridge and 25 m to the east; and Station 3 was taken east
                         of the south end of the cut-off bridge where the boat was launched.

                  Year III - Sediments were collected adjacent to the bridge. Station 1 was at the
                         eighth bridge pillar from the north end of the causeway. Station 2 was at
                         the second set of telephone poles east of the causeway. Station 3 was on a
                         submerged reef 75 m north of Station 2. The bottom was primarily sand,
                         shell and silt.

                  Years IV, V, VT VIT & VIH - Sediments were not sampled during these
                         years.

                  SAMPLING METHODS

                         Oysters. r. tongs and hand
                         Sediment - box core

                  WATER DEPTH - intertidal to subtidal, 0.2 to 1.2 meters.

                  POSSIBLE CONTAMINANTS                  No obvious sources of contaminants were
                  observed.

               SITE - HOLLINGERS ISLAND CHANNEL, MOBILE BAY AL

               NOMRiAL SITE CENTER - 30033-80'N              88004.50V

               LOCATED ON NOS CEUUEtT # - 11376

               SITE ACCESS - The launch point is at Dog River which is south of 1-10 on
               the Dauphin Island Parkway. Launch at the Beach Comber and proceed
               out the Dog River channel to channel marker 10. Turn south and start
               poling for oysters.

               SITE DESCRIPTION - This collection site established in Year III was in
               the upper reaches of Mobile Bay and was near th6 upper distributional limit
               of oysters in the bay.

               OYSTER COLLECTIONS

               Year III - Oysters were located in 2 m of water on small scattered reefs
                     with oysters, shell and clams. Oysters were difficult to locate and
                     were collected by tonging. Station 1 was directly south of red buoy 10
                     in the Dog River to Biloxi channel. Station 2 was 75 m to the south of
                     Station 1. Station 3 was another 75 m south.

               Year IV - In Year IV, the oysters were collected by tonging on a small and
                     sparsely populated reef about 100 m southwest of channel marker 9
                     and an equal distance southeast from a 4 legged wooden stand, just
                     east of the Dog River marina. Station 1 was at the north end. Station
                     3 was at the south end, and Station 2 was in the middle. Water depth
                     was 2 m, and the reef can only be located by poling the bottom.
                     Oysters came up mostly from the shelly mud bottom as singles, and
                     large aggregations were not found. The bottom was a mixture of
                     sand, mud and shell. This site is best collected in calm weather.

               Year V - Oyster stations were in the same general locations as sampled last
                     year. The oysters were sparse. This site required all day to complete
                     since it required poling and tonging to locate and collect the oysters.

               Year VI - Oysters were collected at the same stations described in Year IV
                     (30033.88'N, 88004.58'W).

               Years V11 & V711 - Oysters were collected at the same stations described in
                     Year IV, but were dredged these years. Oysters were still not
                     abundant either year.

               SEDEMUKNT COLLECTIONS

               Year III - Sediment stations are collocated with each oyster station and
                     must be located by poling.

               Years I-V & VI - Sediments were not sampled during these years.

                 Year V - Sediment samples were taken at the same locations as the oyster
                        samples.

                 Years VII & VIII - Sediment samples were not taken these years.

                        Oysters - tongs
                        Sediment - box core

                 WATER DEPTH - subtidal, 2 to 2.5 meters

                 POSSEBLE CONTAMINANTS - Contamination in the region was from ship
                 traffic, industry, and inflow from the Dog River which drained much of
                 Mobile. The upper part of the bay was heavily influenced by the Mobile
                 River and the site was in an area closed to oystering by the Department of
                 Health.

               SITE - DOG RIVER, MOBILE BAY AL

               NONONAL SIUE CENTER - 30"35.50'N              88002.72W

               LOCATED ON NOS CHART # - 11376

               SITE ACCESS - The launch point is at Dog River which is south of I-10 on
               the Dauphin Island Parkway.' Launch at the Beach Comber and proceed
               out the Dog River channel to The Mobil Ship Channel and go north to green
               channel marker 69. Turn into the short channel west of marker 69 and
               proceed to channel marker 5. The site is located approximately 75 m on a
               bearing of 280' from channel marker 5

               SITE DESCRIPTION - This collection site, established in Year V, was in
               the upper reaches of Mobile Bay and was near the upper distributional limit
               of oysters in the bay. The site was located on a reef which runs west-
               southwest from channel marker 5 for approximately 300 m. Poling was
               required to locate the oysters.

               OYSTER COLLECTIONS

               Year V - Oysters were located in 1.5 m of water on small scattered reefs
                     with oysters, shell and clams. Oysters are difficult to locate and are
                     collected by tonging. Station 1 was on the southwest end of the reef.
                     Station 2 was approximately 100 m to the northeast. Station 3 was
                     another 100 m northeast of station 2.

               Year V1, VII, & V711 .- Oysters were not sampled these years.

               SEDIMENT COLLECTIONS

               Year V - Sediment samples were taken 50 m north of each of the oysters
                     stations. Sediments were a mixture of mud, shell and sand.

               Year V1, V11, & VIII - Sediment samples were not collected these years.

               SAMPLING M[ET1IODS

                     Oysters - tongs
                     Sediment - box core

               WATER DEPTH - subtidal, 1.5 meters

               POSSIBLE CONTAMINANTS - Contamination in the region was from ship
               traffic, industry, and inflow from the Dog River which drained much of
               Mobile. The upper part of the bay was heavily influenced by the Mobile
               River and the site was in an area closed to oystering by the Department of
               Health.

               SITE NUMBER 67                                 DESIGNATOR - PBPH

               SITE - PUBLIC HARBOR, PENSACOLA BAY                FL

               NONIINAL SITE CENTER - 30024.63'N              87011.42W

               LOCATED ON NOS CFL4RT           11382

               SITE ACCESS - Access to the site is by boat launched at the public ramp
               northeast of the Highway 98 bridge and the Pensacola Bay Pier.

               SITE  DESCRIPTION - This collection site was established in Year III. It
               was located in Pensacola under the Pensacola Fishing Pier which was the
               old Highway 98 bridge. The pier was on the east side of the new bridge.
               Collections from this site were easiest at low tide and in calm weather since
               the boat had to be tied to the piers.

               OYSTER COLLECTIONS

               Years III & I-V - Oysters were collected by hand from concrete piling under
                     the bridge. Oyster Station 1 was at the seventh set of pilings from the
                     north shore. Station 2 was at the eleventh set of pilings. Station 3
                     was at the fifteenth set of pilings. All oysters collected were
                     intertidal.

               Year V - Oysters were collected in the. same locations as sampled last year.
                     There were many recently dead oysters on the upper part of the
                     piling. This was primarily due to the recent freeze.

               Years VI & VII - Oysters were collected at the same locations as previously
                     sampled. Oysters were larger and more abundant.

               Year VIII - Oysters were collected at the same stations previously sampled,
                     but were more abundant.


               SEDIM[ENTCOLLECTIONS

               Years III, I-V & V - Water depth at the site was -7 m. No sediments were
                     collected because of the depth. Substrate near the boat ramp was
                     sandy.

               Year W - No sediment samples were collected this year.

               Year VII - Sediment samples were collected for the first time at 30'24.14N
                     and 87'11.38W. Suitable sediments were located in 6.2 m of water
                     and were collected with a box corer. Three stations were collected 50
                     m apart on a line starting at the 45 mph sign on the bridge running
                     toward the north.

               Year V111 - No sediment samples were collected this year.

                                                   375







                 SAMPLING METHOD - Oysters were collected by hand from the concrete
                 pilings of the old bridge in the intertidal zone. The site can only be collected
                 in calm weather since the oysters are collected by hand from the boat.

                 WATER DEPTH - intertidal, 0 to 0.4 meter

                 POSSIBLE CONTAMINANTS - Contamination was likely from several
                 sources including both municipal and marine traffic.

                SITE ACCESS - Access to the site is by automobile off I-10 on Avalon Blvd.
                Drive to the Indian Bay Marina and turn right on Connido Street. Proceed
                to a dirt road intersection, turn left and proceed to a dead end at Indian
                Bayou. Launch the boat at the small ramp and proceed down Indian Bayou
                to its mouth. In Year IV, the mouth of Indian Bayou had silted in, so the
                launch point was moved. To reach the boat ramp, exit I-10 at Avalon then
                go north to SR 281. Turn left and go to the stop sign, turn left again and
                follow the dirt road until it ends at the Archie Glover Park. To reach the
                site, follow the marked channel out to Escambia Bay and then turn south
                going under the bridge to the reef. The reef is located about 1 mile south of
                the bridge on a bearing of 140'. Run time to the site is approximately 20
                min.

                SITE DESCRIPTION - There was generally an abundant supply of oysters
                at this location. Year I oysters were collected by hand near the mouth of
                Indian Bayou at 30'31.35'N and 87'06.38'W. In Year II the site was moved
                to a more permanent location. Oysters sites were located on a subtidal reef
                west of the entrance to Indian Bayou. The site was marked by several
                pilings, one of which had an "Oyster Reef' sign. The site was located
                between the poles marked "Danger, Oyster Reef."

                OYS= COLLECTIONS

                Year I - Year I oysters were collected by hand near the mouth of Indian
                      Bayou. Station 1 was 30 m north of Indian Bayou. Bearing to
                      landmarks useful in locating the site were: 292' to factory towers;
                      249' to the water tower. Station 2 was 50 m south of Indian Bayou
                      (290' to the factory towers; 248' to the water towers). Station 3 was 30
                      m south of the bayou mouth in the bayou.

                Years II, Ill"& rV - The site was moved out into the bay in Year Il. Oysters
                      were tonged from three locations along the reef. Station 1 was at the
                      northeast end of the reef; Station 2 was 100 m southwest of Station 1,
                      near the poles marking the reef-, Station 3 was 100 m southwest of
                      Station 2, near the "Danger" sign.

                Year  V - No oysters were available for collection at this site due to high
                      volumes of freshwater inflow which had recently killed all of the
                      oysters.

                Year  VI - The oyster reef was recovering from the dieoff experienced in
                      Year V.    Station 1 was at the northeast end of the reef between the
                      two poles marking the edge of the reef. Station 2 was on the middle of
                      the reef between the two middle poles. Station 3 was on the south end

                        of the reef due north of the last pole. This narrow reef was oriented
                        north to south. Oysters were mixed in black silty mud that has
                        apparently silted over the underlaying shell reef.

                 Years   V11 & VIII - The oyster reef was still recovering from the dieoff
                        experienced in Year V. Oysters were only found at Station 2 which
                        was located in the middle section of the reef between the two middle
                        poles.

                 SEDIMENT COLLECTIONS

                 Year I - Sediments in the area were primarily shell and sand. The best
                        source of fine grained sediment was located in Indian Bayou. In all
                        years, sediments were taken from Indian Bayou. In Year I,
                        sediment stations were collocated with the oyster stations.

                 Years 11'& 111 - Sediments were taken as follows: Station 1 was from the
                        narrow bayou opening to the bay. Station 2 was along the north shore
                        of the bayou 300 m from the mouth and 30 m from shore, and Station
                        3 was 100 m northeast of Station 2.

                 Years I-V, V, V1, V11, & VIII - Sediments were not sampled during these
                        years.

                 SAMPLINGMETHOD

                        Oysters - hand, tongs and dredge
                        Sediment - hand or box core

                 WATER DEPTH - intertidal, 0.3 - 1 meters (Year I), subtidal, 2 meters, in
                        subsequent years.

                 POSSIBLE CONTAMINANTS - There were no observable sources of
                        contamination.

           in Santa Rosa Sound. The site is located under the Highway 399 bridge on
           the south side of the ICWW. Collections from this site are easiest at low tide
           and in calm weather since the oysters are attached to the concrete piers.

           OYSTER COLLECTIONS

           Year V - Oysters were collected by hand from concrete piling under the
               bridge. Oyster Station 1 was the first 7 sets of piers on the south side
               of the bridge. Station 2 was directly north of the first station and
               included the next nine large concrete piers. Station 3 was the next
               eight piers to the north on Station 2. The site ends at the channel.
               All oysters collected were intertidal. Numerous oysters were dead
               due to the recent freeze.

           Year VI & V11 - Oysters were not sampled these years.

           Year Vl'l"-T - Oysters were collected at the stations described for Year V.

           SEDIMENT COLLECTIONS

           Year V - Sediments were collected approximately 1 mile to the northeast,
               along the shoreline at latitude 30121.03'N and longitude 87009.35'W.
               Sediments were primarily sand.

           Year Vi, Vii, & VIII - No sediments were samples were collected these
               years.

           SAMPLING METHOD - Oysters were collected by hand from the concrete
           pilings of the old bridge in the intertidal zone. The site can only be collected
           in calm weather since. the oysters are collected by hand from the boat.

           WATER DEPTH - intertidal, 0 - 0.4 meters

           POSSIBLE CONTAMINANTS - Contamination was possible from
           municipal and marine traffic.

               SITE - JOE'S BAYOU, CHOCTAWAHATCHEE BAY, FL

               NONMNAL SrIE CENTER - 30024.62'N               89029.45'W

               LOCATED ON NOS CHART # - 11388,11385

               SITE ACCESS - The location is a walk-up site and is reached by driving up
               Beach Drive to the boat ramp. The site is located just south of the boat
               ramp.

               SITE DESCREPTION - The site which was established in Year rV was on
               the south shore of Choctawahatchee Bay between the other two
               Choctawhatchee Bay sites. The site was located at the mouth of Joe's Bayou
               where it enters the Bay. The collections were taken from the area directly
               south of the. boat ramp, the oysters were intertidal and accessible by wading
               from shore. More oysters were available farther up the bayou along the
               shoreline structures. Access to these sites had to be by boat because the
               surrounding grounds were all private homes.

               OYSTER COLLECTIONS

               Years 1-V & V - The three stations were along the shoreline with Station 1 at
                     the launch/pier; Station 2 next; and Station 3 as far south as one can
                     go before encountering the private dock. The total distance spanned
                     only 50-100 meters.

               Year VI - The same stations as were sampled in Year V were collected this
                     year. Oysters were numerous but small.

               Years V11 & VIII - The same stations described in Year IV were sampled
                     these years.

               SEDIMENT COLLECTIONS

               Year 1V - No sediments of anything other than hard packed sand or fresh
                     humic materials composed primarily of pine needles could be found.
                     The upper reaches of the bayou and the mouth out into the bay were
                     checked. No sediments were obtained because none met the
                     sampling criteria.

               Year V - Suitable sediments were located in the southern arm of the upper
                     part of Joe's Bayou in 1.5 m of water. Station 1 was 30 m from the
                     west shoreline between the wood boathouse and the two boat pier to
                     the north. Bearing to locate the station was 120' to the Destin water
                     tower. Station 2 was in the northeast arm of upper Joe's Bayou near
                     the end on the north shore between the last and next to last
                     boathouse. Water depth was 1.2 m and the sediment was very loose
                     brown silt. Station 3 was across the bayou (east) from Station 2,
                     between last boat house and boat house #016.

                 Years VI, VII, & VIII - No sediments were sampled these years.

                 SAMPLING AIETHODS

                        Oysters - hand
                        Sediment - box core

                 WATER DEPTH - intertidal, 0 to 0.6 meter

                 POSSIBLE CONTAMINANTS - There appeared to be no drainage other
                 than rainfall runoff from the immediate area into the bayou, and its
                 proximity to the bay suggested that it was fairly representative of the bay.
                 No obvious sources of contaminants were apparent except for a sand and
                 gravel transfer yard immediately to the north of the site.

                NOA11INAL SITE CENTER - 30024.78N               86012.25W

                LOCATED ON NOS CHART # - 11388,11385

                SITE ACCESS - The site is located in the eastern portion of Choctawhatchee
                Bay near U.S. Highway 331. Access to the site is by boat launched from
                ramps on either side of the south end of the bridge crossing Choctawatchee
                Bay or- at the Yodiim's Grocery ramp north of the drawbridge. From the
                drawbridge proceed west to channel marker 34 on the ICWW.

                SITE DESCRIPTION - Two distinct locations have been sampled for this
                site. In Year I, oysters were tonged south of the channel marker 34. The
                subtidal oyster reef was extensive and the outer margin of the reef was
                marked with four wood pilings. However, in Year II & III, no oysters
                could be found in the subtidal sampling area and the site was moved to the
                shoreline where a small bayou enters the bay (southeast from a large white
                house) at latitude 30'24.35'N and longitude 86'12.75'W. Oysters were
                attached to rocks and a wooden bulwarks around a large tree. Oysters were
                small and not overly abundant. The site was moved in Year IV due to
                oyster depletion at the shoreline site. In Years IV, V and VI, oysters were
                tonged southeast of channel marker 40 (30'24.53'N, 86'11.40'W).

                OYSTER COLLECTIONS

                Year  I - The oyster reefs south of channel marker 34 were tonged for
                      oysters'  This site was approximately 1 mile west of the drawbridge
                      and 1 mile north of the south shoreline. Oyster stations were located
                      on a south to north line with Station 1 being on the south end. Station
                      1 was approximately 300 m south of channel marker 34 on a bearing
                      of 250'. Other bearings to locate the station were: 300' from the south
                      end of the drawbridge,- 108' from south Live Oak Point, and 350' from
                      the microwave tower. Station 2 was approximately 100 m to the north
                      and Station 3 was another 100 m to the north near the channel
                      marker.

                Year 1I - No oysters could be located in the area sampled during Year 1, so
                      the site was move to the shoreline. To reach the shore site, take a
                      bearing of 70' from channel marker 34 to a small bayou. This site
                      was southeast from a large white house on the shore. Oysters were
                      attached to wood and rocks along the bank.                No significant
                      geographic distinction could be made between the oyster stations
                      because of the paucity of oysters.

                Year  III - Oysters were again collected from the rocks and wood pilings.
                      Stations were segregated with 50 meters between locations.

                Year IV - In Year IV, the site was relocated to a commercially fished reef
                       near channel marker 40 (bearing 062' to the marker). The reef ran
                       northeast-southwest (260/0801) and was marked by poles and signs
                       "Danger, submerged oyster reefs". This reef was in 3 m of water and
                       had to be sampled by tonging. Station I was at the southern end of
                       the reef about 50 m north of the last pole. Station 2 was 30 m south of
                       the "Danger..." sign, near the middle of the reef. Station 3 was at the
                       northeast end of the reef, bearing 240' from channel marker 40, and
                       15 meters west of the northern most pole marking the reef.

                Year V - Stations were located in approximately the same locations as last
                       year. Oysters were sparse due to recent die-offs, and many recently
                       dead oysters were tonged. Station 1 was 30 m south of the southmost
                       pole on the west side of the reef, between the two poles marking the
                       south'end of the reef. Station 2 was in the middle of the reef, 15 m
                       south of the second pole from the north. Station 3 was at the
                       northeast end of the reef, between 15 and 50 m west of the northmost
                       pole.

                Year VI - Stations were in the same locations as last year. Oysters were
                       dredged and were more abundant this year.

                Years VII & VIII - Oysters were dredged from the same stations sampled
                       the previous three years.. Oysters were abundant both years but were
                       covered with numerous mussels.


                SEDEMENT COLLEMONS

                Year I - Sediment samples in Year I were collocated within 30 m of each
                       oyster station. These sediments were a charcoal gray to black mud
                       overlain by dark brown surface.

                Year H - Sediments sampled were a loose black mud taken on a line from
                       the oyster collection site on shore toward channel marker 34. Station
                       1 was 500 m from channel marker 34 marker with Stations 2 and 3
                       being 400 and 300 m from the marker. Sediments shoreward of this
                       point (nearer the oysters) were much too sandy.

                Year III - Sediment stations in Year III were collected on the same line at
                       distances of 100 m apart on a line to channel marker 34.

                Year IV - No sediments were sampled.

                Year V - Sediment samples were black silty sand mixed with oyster shell
                       and were collected near each oyster station. Station I was collected 30
                       m north of the pole at the oyster station. Station 2 was 30 m north of
                       the pole at the oyster station. Station 3 was also 30 m north of the pole
                       at that oyster station.

                Year VI - Sediments (NIST) were collected adjacent to each oyster station.

                Years VII & V111 - No sediments samples were collected these years.

               OYSTER COLLEMONS

               Years 1, 11, 111, & I-V - Oysters were collected by hand from intertidal
                      waters. Station 1 oysters were taken from sandy bottom, jetty rocks
                      and the bulkhead where Postil Lake entered Choctawhatchee Bay.
                      Oyster Station 2 was located along the shoreline -200 m north of
                      Station 1. Oysters were attached to the rocks. Oyster Station 3 was on
                      the south side of Postil Point in the shoreline rocks. Oysters were not
                      overly abundant at this site.

               Year   V - Oysters were collected at the same sites as were previously
                      sampled. This year there were fewer oysters due to the recent freeze.
                      All of the oysters above the low tide mark were recently dead.

               Year   VI - Oyster sampling stations were located in the same areas as
                      previously sampled. Oysters were more abundant than last year.

               Year   V11 - Oyster sampling stations were located in the same areas as
                      previously sampled. Oysters were less abundant this year.

               Year V111 - Oysters were collected at the same stations described for Year L

               SEDEVIENT COLLECTIONS

               Year I - Sediments were collected in Choctawhatchee Bay out from Postil
                      Point. These sediments were primarily sand.

               Years  Il & III & V - Sediments were collected along the northwest
                      shoreline in Postil Lake. Sediment Station 1 was -25 m north of the
                      entrance into the lake near oyster Station 1. Station 2 was -50 m
                      north of Station 1. Station 3 was another 50 m to the north along the
                      shoreline. Sediments were primarily organic peat with some silt and
                      were characterized by a strong H2S odor.

               SITE - LITTLE OYSTER, PANAMA CITY

               NOAE[NAL SITE CENTER - 30015.19'N             85040.95'W

               LOCATED ON NOS CHART           11390

               SITE ACCESS - Access to the site is via boat launched at the public ramp at
               Richard Simpson Park. The park is located at the east end of the Hathaway
               Bridge (Highway 98) on the north side where it crosses West Bay. Cross the
               bridge.-then turn north on Moody Avenue to the old highway. Turn left and
               the ramps are on the right. In Year VII the boat was launched at the
               Leslie Port Wayside Park boat ramp which in on Highway 77 on the north
               side of Panama City.

               SITE DESCRIPTION - The site was not established until Year IV of the
               program and was located at Little Oyster Bar Point in North Bay. The site
               was on the edge of the U.S. Air Force Petroleum Depot. The oyster and
               sediment sites were separated across the bay by a distance of about 2 miles.
               The sediment site was located near the mouth of Mud Bayou and east of
               West Bay Point.

               OYSTER COLLECTIONS

               Years IV & V - Oysters were taken from the concrete bases of the high
                     voltage transmission towers crossing the bay at Little Oyster Bar
                     Point. Station 1 was on the tower on the shoreline. Station 2 was the
                     next tower from the east shore (southeast of channel marker 6).
                     Station 3 was the second tower from the east shore (north of channel
                     marker 6). Station 1 could be collected as a walk-up station, but the
                     other two stations had to be sampled from the boat.

               Year VI - All three stations were collected at the same locations previously
                     sampled. Station 1 was depleted of oysters and will have to be moved
                     next year. This was partially due to siltation occurring around the
                     base of the concrete pilings and at the mouth of the small pond which
                     blocks the tidal flow at this site.

               Year VII - Station 1 was completely silted over and no oysters were present;
                     therefore, it was moved to the northwest side of the bay. The new site
                     was established at the second set of transmission piers out from the
                     north shoreline. The new site was located at 30'15.59 north and
                     85'41.13 west. Stations 2 and 3 remained at the locations previously
                     sampled.

               Year VlIl'- Collection stations remained the same as described in Year
                     Vii.

                  SEDIM]ENTCOLLECTIONS

                  Years IV & V - Sediments were collected at the mouth of Mud Bayou
                         (30'14.27'N and 850 42.69W). Station 1 was to the north of the Bayou.
                         Station 2 was just to the south of the mouth at the sandy beach.
                         Station 3 was 300 meters south of the Bayou mouth. All stations were
                         sampled in 0.2 meters of water approximately 25 meters from the
                         shoreline. There were oysters scattered in the grass beds and several
                         small reefs in this area but oysters were too few and scattered to be
                         reliable for repeat sampling.

                  Years V1, VII, & VIII - Sediments were not sampled during these years.

                  SAMPLING AURTHODS

                         Oysters - hand
                         Sediment - box core

                  WATER DEPTH - intertidal, 0 to 0.3 meters.

                  POSSIBLE CONTAMINANTS - Possible contamination included a military
                  fuel depot at Little Oyster Bar Point and a coal burning power plant across
                  the bay.

               SITE - MUNICIPAL PIER, PANAMA CITY FL

               NONaNAL SITE CENTER - 30009.00'N               85039.8OrW

               LOCATED ON NOS CHART # - 11390

               SITE ACCESS - This station is located at the Bay City Marina in Panama
               City. A boat is necessary to collect this site and is launched at the public
               boat ramp. All three stations are located at the marina.

               SITE DESCRI]PTION - This site was not established until Year III and was
               located at the Bay City Marina. The stations were placed inside and at the
               entrance of the marina.


               OYSTER COLLECTIONS

               Year III - Station 1 for both oysters and sediments was located inside the
                      breakwater on the east side of the marina. Oysters were collected
                      along the breakwater and were numerous at and to 0.5 m below the
                      normal high tide line. Station 2 was located opposite Station 1 on the
                      outside of the breakwater. Oysters were slightly less abundant but
                      were still numerous. Oyster Station 3 was located north of Station 2
                      and outside the breakwater. It was directly east of the parking lot
                      which was north of the boat ramp. Oysters were collected from a
                      submerged concrete mass but were also found below the tide line of
                      the breakwater.

               Years IV & V - In both years, the collection sites were the same as was first
                      sampled in Year III. Station 1 was inside the harbor on the
                      bulkhead directly southeast of the boat ramp. Station 2 was outside
                      the marina, directly opposite Station 1. Station 3 was directly north of
                      Station 2 along the concrete bulkhead next to the parking lot at the
                      boat ramp.

               Years  VI & VII - Oysters were not sampled at this station during these
                      years.

               Year VIff - Oysters were collected at the stations described for Year III.

               SEDEM3MW COLLECTIONS

               Year III - The only fine grained sediments were at the base of the bulkhead
                      at Station 1. No suitable sediments were found in the vicinity of
                      Stations 2 and 3, nor in any location near the marina.

               Years rV & VI - No sediment samples were collected during these years.

               Year V - Sediment samples were collocated with each of the three oyster
                      stations.

                 Years W1 & VIII - Sediments were not sampled these years.

                 SAMPLINGAUMODS

                        Oysters - tongs and by hand
                        Sediment - box core

                 WATER DEPTH - intertidal, 0 to 0.3 meter

                 POSSIBLE CONTAMINANTS - Potential sources of contamination were
                 likely from the boat traffic in the marina as well as run-off from the nearby
                 streets of downtown Panama City.

               LOCATED ON NOS CHART            1138 9,11390

               SITE ACCESS - The station is located in Watson Bayou which is located east
               of the Bay City Marina in Panama City. After collection of the Municipal
               Pier site travel by east down the ICWW to Watson Bayou. The site is at the
               first point on the right (east side) after entering the Bayou.

               SITE DESCRIPTION - The oysters were attached to rocks on a point of land
               identified by a former shipyard, just west of the dockage for ships and boats
               on the channel that led up to the paper mill. Oysters were intertidal, small
               and sparse.

               OYSTER COLLECTIONS

               Years 1, 11 & 111 - All the oysters were collected at the same location in
                     Years 1, 11 and III. No significant geographic distinction could be
                     made between oyster stations. Landmarks to locate the site were:
                     352' to the white oil tanks; 78' to the tall smoke stack.

               Years X, V, VI, VII, & VIII - The site was the same as in previous years.
                     All stations were taken from the rock rubble along the shore on the
                     first point on theeast side of Watson Bayou.

               SEDIMENT COLLECTIONS

               Years 1, 11, & III - Sediments in the entire bay area were coarse sands,
                     except for the upper reaches of the slough leading to the paper mill.
                     Sediments were sampled just south of the small bridge at the paper
                     mill (Station 1), across the channel from the paper mill (Station 3),
                     and slightly upstream (near the outfall pipe) from the paper mill
                     near the upper end of the slough (Station 2). The.sediments were a
                     black ooze with the consistency of pudding. Sediments and the air
                     had a peculiar and unpleasant odor.

               Years IV & VI - No sediment samples were collected.

               Year V - Sediment samples were in the same locations as sampled during
                     the first three years.

               Years V11 & V111- Sediments were not sampled these years.

                 from the dockage facilities around the corner from the site, fuel oil storage
                 and transfer facilities around the embayment, and the effluents from the
                 paper mill.

               LOCATED ON NOS CHART # - 11402$ 11404

               SITE ACCESS - The site is accessed by a 30 minute boat ride originating at
               the ramp in Apalachicola near the southwest end of the John Gorrie
               Memorial Bridge. Proceed west along the inside channel to the first
               channel going south into Apalachicola Bay. Run a compass course
               (bearing 250') to the northeast end of St. Vincent Island at St. Vincent
               Point.


               SITE DESCRIPTION - The site was located on the northeast corner of St.
               Vincent Island at St. Vincent Point. Oysters were located north of the point
               on subtidal shell and sand bottom.

               OYSTER COLLECTIONS

               Year I - Stations were located in a line running south to north. Station 3
                      was at bearing of 330' from St. Vincent Point, 105* from Green Point
                      and 60' from the Apalachicola Bay drawbridge. During Year I
                      stations were submerged.

               Year 1I - Year II samples were collected by hand from an abundant oyster
                      population. Stations were oriented in a west to east direction.
                      paralleling St. Vincent Point. Station 1 was located on the west end of
                      the bar, Station 2 was 200 m east of Station 1, and Station 3 was 200 m
                      farther east.

               Year III - Year III oysters were collected at the same sites as Year II, but
                      the oysters were tonged due to high tidal conditions.

               Years IV, V, VI, VII, & V111 - Oysters were collected by hand at the same
                      location described for Year II.

               SEDDIENT COLLECTIONS

               Year I - Sediments were obtained from one location 30 m to the east of oyster
                      Station 3.

               Year   II - No sediments of an appropriately fine texture were found
                      anywhere near the oyster site. Sediments were taken from the
                      mouth of the Apalachicola River near St. Vincent Island which is
                      south of the bridge.

               Years 111, IV, V, VI, VII, & V111 - Sediments were not sampled during
                      these years.

               NoAnNAL srm CENTER - 29043-45'N                 84053.05V

               LOCATED ON NOS CHARr # - 11404,11402

               SITE ACCESS - This is a walk-up site from the beach at low tide. It is
               accessed by boat when tides are high. To reach the site drive south on road
               GlA to the toll booth. Turn left on the dirt road to the east to East Point
               Beach. Park and walk to East Point Beach where oysters can be picked up
               by hand at low tide. If the tide is high the boat can be launched at one of the
               ramps on Highway 30, which is east of the site.

               SITE DESCRIPTION - The site was located at Cat Point. The reef was
               exposed at low tide and was the major source for oysters in eastern
               Apalachicola Bay. At high tide the oysters were collected by tonging.

               OYSTER COLLECTIONS

               Year I - Oysters were collected by hand along the exposed reef. Station 1
                      was 100 m off the beach, south of East Point. Station 2 was located 100
                      m south of Station 1 -200 m offshore. Station 3 was east. of Stations 1
                      .and 2 -25 m offshore.

               Year Il - During Year II, the boat was launched from the ramp in the boat
                      basin at the town of East Point (two blocks south of Highway 98). It
                      was a five minute ride to,the tonging site on a large reef that parallels
                      the telephone poles crossing the bay. The oyster site was 200 m east of
                      telephone pole #6 (bearing 260' to sixth pole from shore). Oysters
                      were abundant but tonging was required; dredges were not permitted
                      in Apalachicola Bay. Oysters were collected for all stations at one
                      place in Year II.

               Years  III, IV, V & VI - Samples were taken at the Year II station
                      locations. However, since the tide was low, the oysters were collected
                      by hand and separate stations were established. Oysters stations
                      were -100 m apart. Station 1 was at the north end of the reef, Station
                      2 in the middle and Station 3 -was at the south end.

               Years V11 & VIII - Samples were taken at the same locations described for
                      Year III.


               SEDEMEENTCOLLECTIONS

               Year I - Sediments for the first year were located just off the reef (east and
                      northeast) collocated with each oyster station. The sandy mud
                      sediments were as fine a texture as could be found in the area.

                  Year 11 - Sediment Station I was located 500 m east of #6 pole. Station 2 was
                         500 rn east of the 8th pole. Station 3 was 500 m east of the 4th pole.
                         The substrate was sandy mud with small shell fragments.

                  Year III - Sediments were collected 500 m east of the oyster stations.
                         Sediments were fine silt over sand.

                  Years IV, V, VI, VII, & VHI - Sediments were not sampled during these
                         years.

                  SAMPLINGIMETHOD

                         Oysters - tongs and by hand

                     of the reef. Station 1 was at the north end of the exposed part of the
                     reef which extends as a subtidal portion farther north into the
                     marsh. Station 3 was at the south end of this reef. Station 2 was
                     located.on the east side of the reef, mid-way between 1 and 3. Reef
                     length was 300 m.

               Year V - Collection locations were the same as established last year. The
                     number of oysters were much reduced from last year. Most of the
                     reef was composed of dead shells.

               Year VI - Station locations were the same as last year. Oysters were more
                     abundant than last year.

               Years VII & VIII - Station locations were at the same sites as originally
                     established in Year IV.


               SEDEMIENTCOLLECTIONS

               Year I-V - Sediments for Station 1 were taken about 100 m from the reef,
                     midway and on a line from the north end of the reef to channel
                     marker 29. Stations 2 and 3 sediments were located adjacent to the
                     oyster stations about 25 and 50 m, respectively, from each station on
                     the east side of the reef.

               Year V - Sediments were collected adjacent to each oyster station. Station 1
                     was from the west side of the reef 10 m from the shoreline. Station 2
                     was also on the west side of the reef 10 m from the shore adjacent to
                     the oyster station. Station 3 was 5 m from the reef on the west side.

                        Sediments were composed of fine grained black silt in pockets over
                        shell and shell hash.

                 Years VI, Vii, & VI11"- Sediments were not sampled during these years.

                 SAMPLINGMETHODS

                        Oysters - hand
                        Sediment - box core

                 WATER DEPTH - intertidal, 0 - 0.5 m.

                 POSSIBLE CONTAMINANTS - There were no obvious contamination
                 sources, although the site was located in waters which were closed and/or
                 conditional to shellfish harvesting.

                LORAN TD's - NA


                LOCATED ON NOS CHART             11408

                SITE ACCESS - Established in Year III, this site is accessible only by small
                boat. Access is from the Suwannee Manna located near the middle of the
                town. From the boat launch proceed southwest to the first channel to the
                north. Proceed slowly up the channel which passes through Suwannee.
                The channel passes under a bridge then bends left, passes under another
                bridge and then turns left and then right. Turn north at the last house on
                the right into another channel and proceed until it intersects a channel
                with markers. Proceed out to channel marker 20 and go north for -2 km to
                Cat Island.

                SITE DESCRIPTION - This site was established and sampled only in Year
                III. Oysters were collected along the margins of Cat Island. Reefs were
                numerous east of Cat Island and were exposed at low tide. The margins of
                the islands were covered with Spartina alterniflora.

                OYSTER COLLECTIONS

                Year Iff - Oyster Station 1 was located on the northeast shore of Cat Island
                      between a topless palm and a pole in the water. At low tide the reef is
                      exposed and numerous small oysters are present. Oysters can be
                      collected by hand or tonged. Station 2 was a subtidal reef with an
                      exposed intertidal portion. It was located between Cat Island and a
                      small island to the northeast. Station 3 was -50 m north of Station I
                      on the north side of the same reef. Oysters at all three stations could
                      be collected by hand at low tide but had to be tonged at high tide.

                Years IV, V, VI, VII, & VIII - The site was not sampled during these
                      years.



                SEDDMENT COLLECTIONS

                Year III - Sediment Station 1 was collected along the intertidal marsh on
                      the east side of Cat Island. Station 2 was in a small inlet directly east
                      of the second oyster station. Sediment was a peaty/organic sandy
                      mud. Station 3 was collected several hundred meters away from the
                      other station. This station was collected when returning to the ramp,
                      after a turn north at channel marker 22 into a cove that ran west
                      from the main channel. A sawgrass marsh surrounded this site
                      and the sediments were an organic peaty mud.

               SITE - BLACK POINT, CEDAR REY                FL

               NOMINAL SITE CENTER - 29012.32'N               83004.25W

               LOCATED ON NOS CELART # - 11408

               SITE ACCESS - Access to the site in Years I and II was by boat launched at
               the city boat basin at the end of Highway 24 in Cedar Key. Shoals require
               that the channel markers be followed from the city marina to Derreck Key.
               The oyster site is located on the northeast side of a "U" shaped island
               adjacent to channel marker 2 at Derreck Key. Approximate run time to the
               site is an hour. In Year III, the boat was launched at a boat ramp north of
               Cedar Key at the end of Highway 326 off of Highway 347. The ramp is very
               shallow and launching at low tide is difficult, but the site can be reached in
               less than 10 minutes. From the boat ramp go south - 1 km.

               SITE DESCRIPTION - Oysters were collected from the subtidal perimeter of
               the small island. At low tide there were numerous exposed oyster reefs.
               The oyster site was located at a crescent-shaped reef with smooth cordgrass
               onthe west side, west of an island with three palm trees and one topless
               palm. The stations were located inside the crescent.

               OYSTER COLLECTIONS

               Year  I - Year I oysters were collected from the perimeter of the small
                      island in subtidal and intertidal water. Station 1 was at the mouth of
                      a creek 0.75 miles from Black Point on a bearing of 125'. Other
                      bearings to locate the site were 245* from the radio tower, 285' from
                      the bridge center, and 345' from the water tower. Station 2 was an
                      exposed reef 220' from Station 1. Local landmarks had a bearing of
                      250' from the radio tower, 284' from the bridge and 350' from the
                      water tower. Station 3 was 300 m from Station 1 on a bearing of 120'.

               Year 11 - Significant geographic differentiation of the oyster stations was
                      not possible this year. Bearings to local landmarks were 2620 to
                      channel marker 2, 149' to the Cedar Key water tower, and 3170 to
                      green channel marker 5. The oysters were collected by hand from
                      subtidal and intertidal clumps which made up the island.

               Year HI - In Year III, samples were collected in approximately the same
                      location as Year II. The site was a crescent shaped reef covered
                      with smooth cordgrass. An obvious landmark to locate the site was
                      the three palm trees due east of the site. All three station were
                      located from inside the crescent on the east side Station 1 was in the
                      middle. Station 2 was on the north end. Station 3 was at the south
                      end. Oysters were collected by hand and tongs.

                Year IV - Year IV stations were collected in the same locations as Year
                      III. Oysters were very small in large clumps and the shells were
                      very thin.

                Year V - Oyster stations were in the same location as previously collected.
                     . Oysters were much less numerous this year.

                Year  VI - Collection sites remained the same as those sampled last year
                      (29010.25'N, 83003.00'W), but oysters were smaller and less
                      numerous.


                Year  VII - Due to extremely low tidal conditions the boat could not be
                      launched this year; therefore, the site was moved approximately 1
                      km to the north (29'12.28 north 83'04.34 west), adjacent to the boat
                      launch area. There are numerous reefs in the vicinity of the launch
                      area. All three stations were located on the south side of the launch
                      area. Station 1 was 50 m south of the launch, Station 2 was 50 m
                      farther south, and Station 3 was another 50 m to the south.

                Year VIII - Oysters were collected at the stations described for Year VII.

                SEDIMENT COLLECTIONS

                Year I - Sediments were collocated with each of the oyster stations.

                Year Il - Sediments were taken from isolated pockets of sandy, shelly mud
                      on the inside curve of the island and were adjacent to each oyster
                      station. Many shell fragments were present over the entire bottom.
                      A box core and wading was required to locate and retrieve the
                      sediment samples.

                Year III - Sediments in Year III were located within 5 m of the oyster
                      stations and were sandy mud with some shells.

                Years IV, V, VI, VII, & VIII - Sediments were not sampled during these
                      years.

                SAMPLING METHOD

                      Oysters - tongs and by hand
                      Sediment - box core

                WATER DEPTH - intertidal, 0.2 - 0.4 meters

                POSSIBLE CONTAMINANTS - The site was mainly open water and no
                sources of contamination were observed. The site was miles from any
                habitation, industry or port facility ofany size. Effluents from Suwannee
                River may have influenced the site.

               SITE - OLD TAMPA BAY, TAMPA BAY                FL

               NOAUNAL SITE CENTER - 28001.48N                82"37.95W

               LOCATED ON NOS CHART # - 11413

               SITE ACCESS - To reach the site, take Highway 275 to 92 west and then take
               Hillsborough Avenue toward Tampa Bay Downs. Turn south on Double
               Branch Road and proceed to State Street, turn left and go to the boat ramp at
               the end of the street.

               SITE DESCRIPTION - This site, established in Year III, produced the most
               abundant oysters collected in the Tampa Bay area. Substrate was primarily
               sandy mud with pockets of oozy mud scattered around the shoreline.

               OYSTER COLLECTIONS

               Year  III - Oysters at all three stations were well developed and sorted.
                     They were of moderate size and looked healthy. They were plentiful,
                     were easily picked by hand and required little sorting. All three reefs
                     were clearly visible and partially exposed at low tide, but were still
                     easily accessible at high tide by wading. Oyster Station 1 was located
                     - 50 m north of the boat ramp. The reef extended across water from
                     east to west and was exposed at low tide. Station 2 was a small
                     subtidal reef - 10 m east of the end of the boat ramp. Station 3 was
                     50-m southeast of the boat ramp where the creek forks on the east
                     side of the channel.

               Year X - The same three stations were sampled in Year IV as were first
                     established in Year III. The site remained closed to harvesting, and
                     the oysters from external appearance and abundance appeared in
                     good shape.

               Year V & V1'- The same stations were sampled again these year. Oysters
                     were mostly alive and were in better condition than those at sampling
                     sites to the north.

               Year V11 - This site was not sampled this year.

               Year VIII - Oysters were collected at the station described for Year III.

               SEDDEENT COLLECTIONS

               Year III - Sediments were collocated with the oysters. Sediments were
                     collected with the teflon scoop directly from the bottom substrate.

               Year -TV - No sediments were sampled.

                  Year   V - Sediment samples were taken adjacent to each of the oyster
                         collection stations. Sediment was a thin silt layer over hard sand
                         found along the edge of the mangroves. Station 1 was in a small cove
                         on the west end of the reef. Station 2 was 20 m northwest of the oyster
                         site along the shore. Station 3 was 20 m to the east in the small cove
                         on the north side of the channel.

                  Year VI - Sediments (NIST) were collected in the same locations described
                         in Year V.

                  Years VII & VIII - No sediments were sampled these years.

                  SAMPLING METHOD

                         Oysters - hand
                         Sediment - hand

                  WATER DEPTH - intertidal, 0 - 0.3 meters

                  POSSEBLE CONTAMINANTS - Contamination at the site was not obvious,
                  but mobile home and housing developments were present upstream from
                  the collection site. No industrial contaminant sources were observed.

               SITE - PAPYS BAYOU, TAMPA BAY               FL

               NOMMMAL SITE CENTER - 27050.53'N               82'036.62W

               LOCATED ON NOS CHART            11413

               SITE ACCESS - The site is accessed by boat or by driving to the site. By boat,
               depart the city marina in St. Petersburg and cross the west side of Tampa
               Bay to Papys Bayou (-30 minutes). Access to the site for sampling by
               wading is accomplished by driving to the Weeden Island Wildlife Refuge via
               Weeden Drive. In Year VII a boat was launched at Gandy Bridge Marina.
               The site was reached by traveling out the channel parallel to the highway to
               Tampa Bay and then south to channel marker 15, then turn west to the
               entrance to Papys Bayou. This ride takes approximately 20 minutes.

               SITE DESCREPTION - The oyster site in Year I was a small intertidal reef
               (found by following channel markers to where reef almost blocked channel)
               at the back end of the bayou and the mangrove roots along the adjacent
               shoreline. A wood and steel pier-type of structure was at the end of the
               bayou where samples were taken. In Year II, the station was moved to*
               within 100 rn of the old bridge at the end of Weeden Drive.

               OYSTER COLLECTIONS

               Year I - Oysters were collected on a submerged oyster reef surrounding an
                     old wooden and metal structure on the east side of the bayou in a
                     mangrove area. Landmarks to locate the site were 140' from the tall
                     radio tower and 195' from the smoke stacks at the power plant. The
                     sites were separated by 100 m.

               Year  11 - Year II collections were made in the same location. Oyster
                     stations were not differentiated geographically this year.

               Year  III - In Year III, we drove to the site and collected the oysters by
                     hand. A large healthy reef was located 100 m from the wooden pier
                     at the end of Weeden Pond. Oysters were numerous but distinct
                     stations were not recognized.

               Years IV, V & VI - The site was in the same position as sampled in Year
                     III. No station distinctions were made. The stations were on the
                     first large reef south of the pier at the end of Weeden Road. The site
                     was best accessed by wading from the pier. The Year III and IV site
                     was approximately 100-200 m north of the site sampled in Year II.
                     Oysters were very abundant and accessible. In Year VI the oysters
                     were very small and many had died recently.

               Year VII - The same location was sampled again this year. Oysters were
                     numerous but were very small.

                  Year VIII - Oysters were not abundant on the reef, so the site was moved 30
                         m to the fishing pier.
                  SEDIMENT COLLECTIONS

                  Years I & Il - Sediments from the oyster site were all sand and shell.
                         Sediments were collected on Weeden Island north of Harbor Isle.
                         Sediments were intertidal sands with some humic material.

                  Year III - Sediments were collected along the mangrove-lined shoreline.
                         Station 1 was at the small boat ramp. Station 2 was 50 m to the north
                         around the point. Station 3 was another 30 m north in a small cove.
                         The majority of the bottom was sand except along the mangrove tree
                         .-margin (1-2 m zone) where fine-grained silt was found.

                  Years X, V, V1, VII, & VIII - Sediments were not sampled during these
                         years.

                  SAMPLING METHOD

                         Oysters - hand
                         Sediment - box core

                  WATER DEPTH - intertidal, 0 - 0.5 meters

                  POSSEBLE CONTAMINANTS - Sources of contamination included heavy
                  recreational boating in the restricted embayment, and an electric power
                  generation plant near the bay.

               LOCATED ON NOS CHART # - 11413

               SITE ACCESS - The boat was launched at the ramp on the northwest
               corner of the Highway 41 bridge over the Alafia River.

               SITE DESCRIPTION - This site was located on the north bank of the Alafia
               River. The sites were established along the riprap shoreline on the east
               side of channel marker 15.

               OYSTER COLLECTIONS

               Years I & II - The only oysters in the area were attached to rock rubble and
                      tree roots at the shell hash beach on the north bank of the river next
                      to the phosphate plant (downstream from their dock). The bank was
                      steep and quickly became too deep for sampling. Oysters were very
                      sparse, and this site may not provide sufficient oysters for extended
                      study. No geographic distinction could be made in the oyster
                      collection sites. The three stations were contiguous to each other.
                      Station 1 was on the west end and Station 3 was on the east end of the
                      site.

               Year Iff - In Year III, there were only enough oysters for one station. This
                      site should be dropped because of the lack of oysters. There were not
                      likely to be other sources for oysters in the Hillsborough area, since
                      this was the best we could locate in Year I.

               Years I-V, V, VI &. VII - The site was not sampled during these years.

               Year VIII - Oysters were collected at the station described in Year III.
                      Oysters were numerous but small.

               SEDIM]!'qT COLLECTIONS

               Year I - Sediments of fine texture in close proximity to and representative of
                      the site were not possible.        Therefore, a site was selected
                      approximately 0.5 miles east. Station 1 was between the boat launch
                      and oyster site. Station 2 was from the boat basin across the river
                      from the boat launch. Station 3 from upstream past the railroad
                      bridge to the south side of the river in front of Captain D's Marina.

               Years  11 & Ill' - Sediments for Years II and III were at the same sites,
                      except that no sediments were located for Station 1.

               Years I-V, V, VI, VII, & VIII - Sediments were not sampled during these
                      years.                        489

                  POSSIBLE CONTAMINANTS - Obvious sources of contamination included
                  the phosphate plant which was directly adjacent to the oyster collection site.
                  In the case of two sediment samples, the boat basin/marinas were sources
                  of contamination.

               SITE - COCKROACH BAY, TAMPA BAY                   FL

               NONaNAL srm CENTER - 27040.55'N                82030.56W

               LOCATED ON NOS CHART # - 11414

               SITE ACCESS - The site is accessed by driving to Highway 41 and taking the
               Cockroach Bay Road to the west. The launch ramp is at the end of the road.
               Shallow draft boats with tilt motors are required. Access to the site requires
               winding around many small islands to the open bay to the east. Upon
               entering the open bay, proceed east to a very small island (mostly subtidal)
               near the southeast shore.

               SITE DESCRJIPTION - The site was located on an exposed reef on the south
               side of Cockroach Bay. Oysters were collected by hand from the subtidal
               portions of the reef. Neither the sediments or oyster collection stations
               could be differentiated geographically around the small island. All were
               composites of random samples from around the island.

               OYSTER COLLECTIONS

               Year I - Oysters were collected from an exposed reef on the south side of the
                     bay. Station 1 was on the reef which is 1951 from the tall radio tower.
                     Station 2 was along mangrove roots -100 m east of Station 1. Station 3
                     was -100 m east of Station 1 and 30 m north of Station 2.

               Years II, III, IV, V, V1, V11, & VIII - In these years, all stations were
                     taken from the same very small reef in the back (south side) of
                     Cockroach Bay. No station distinctions could be made due to the
                     small area from which oysters were available. However, Cockroach
                     Bay has many other sites suitable for oyster collection, both from the
                     roots of mangroves and other reefs nearer the mouth of the bay.

               SEDEVIENT COLLECTIONS

               Years 1, 11, & III - Sediments were found in isolated pockets around this
                     reef and were limited to the extreme upper layer.

               Years IV& V - No sediments were sampled during these years.

               Year V1- - Sediments (NIST) were collected from around the small island
                     where the oysters were collected.

               Years VII & VIII - No sediments were sampled these years.

                 SAMPLINGMETHOD

                        Oysters - hand
                        Sediment - Sediments were sampled by hand with the teflon scoop,
                               and required compositing samples from many scoops in
                               different pockets to acquire sufficient material.

                 WATER DEPTH - intertidal, 0 to 0.6 meters

                 POSSIBLE CONTAMINANTS - There were no obvious sources of
                 contamination in this very secluded site, although the surrounding area
                 appeared to be vegetable and fruit farms.

               SITE NUMBER 77                                 DESIGNATOR - TBKA

               SITE - KNIGHT AIRPORT, TAMPA BAY, FL

               NOMONAL SITE CENTER - 27054.46N                82027.29V

               LOCATED ON NOS CHART # - 11413

               SITE ACCESS - The stations were established on a jetty which extends from
               the end of the runway into the bay. The site is located on the south end of
               the Davis Islands, adjacent to the Peter 0. Knight airport and the Davis
               Islands Yacht Club. To reach this site from St. Petersburg, take 1-275 east
               and take exit 24, go south on Armenia to Swann Ave., then east to join
               Bayshore Blvd. Cross the bridge to the Davis Islands. Stay on west Davis
               Blvd. and then exit right on Airport to Marinique which follows the
               seawall.

               SITE DESCRIPTION - The site was not established and sampled until Year
               IV. Oysters were intertidal and were attached to the rocks of the jetty. The
               sampling site was located along the seawall and jetties.

               OYSTER COLLECTIONS

               Years IV, V, V1, VII, & VIII - Station 1 was located along the seawall
                     beginning at the junction of the seawall and jetty on the east side of
                     the jetty. Station 2 was at the bay end of the jetty, and Station 3 was
                     on the west side of the jetty beginning at the seawall.

               SEDDIENT COLLECTIONS

               Years I-V & V - Suitable fine grained sediments were difficult to obtain near
                     the site because the bottom was mostly sand. Isolated pockets of fine
                     black muds with some sand were located along the seawall some
                     distance from the oysters sites. Station 1 was about midway down the
                     seawall to the the east, and was sampled by boxcore from the seawall.
                     Station 3 was about 200 m to the west of the seawall/jetty junction, at
                     the first joint in the concrete wall (from the west). Station 2
                     sediments were from the far eastern end of the seawall, at the comer
                     closest to the airport terminal building.

               Year VI, VII, & VIII - No sediments were sampled these years.

               SAMPLINGMETHOD

                     Oysters - hand
                     Sediments - box core


               WATER DEPTH - intertidal, 0.1 meters

               POSSIBLE CONTAMINANTS - No sources of contaminants were
               identified.

                      and on the sandy bottom. Station 2 was 50 m to the southwest across
                      the boat basin on a point that jutted to the north. The site began at the
                      northernmost point of land and continued south for approximately 50
                      m. Oysters were attached to concrete rubble and on the sandy bottom.
                      Station 3 was 100 m south of Station 2 on a small point of land that
                      jutted out to the west. Oysters were attached to the concrete rubble.

               Years V11 & VIII - The same stations were sampled these years.

               SEDEMENT COLLECTIONS

               Year I-V - All. three sediment stations were located within the small boat
                      basin. Sediments outside of the basin were very sandy. Station 1 was
                      on the north side of the basin along the concrete bulkhead. Station 2
                      was at the east end of the basin. Station 3 was on the south side of the
                      basin just inside the mouth and directly west of the pole with the tidal
                      gauge. (This station was collocated with oyster Station 2). Sediments
                      were fine grained soft black-gray silty sand.

               Year V - Sediments were not sampled this year.

               Year VI -. Sediments (NIST) were collected at the same locations described
                      for Year IV.

               Years VII & W11- Sediments were not sampled these years.

               NOAUNAL SITE CENTER - 26030.73N                 82002.18V

               LOCATED ON NOS CHART             11427

               SITE ACCESS - Boat launch is at the marina/bait shop next to St. James
               Restaurant on the main road which runs the length of Pine Island.
               Proceed down the canal, turn left and enter the bay. Join the channel
               markers and proceed to Bird Island After the second year, the launch site
               was moved to the public ramp at Red Fish Point in Ft. Meyers. To reach the
               site proceed down the Calooshatchee River along the ICWW past Big Shell
               Island. Turn north at channel marker 2 and 2A. This will take you to the
               west of Bird Island. An alternate launch site is at the Punta Rassa Ramp.

               SITE DESCRIPTION - The site was located in San Carlos Bay in the
               Matlacha Pass National Wildlife Refuge. The site was on a reef which was
               directly north of Bird Island and northeast of Merwin Key. Oysters were
               plentiful on the subtidal portions of the reef and could be collected either by
               hand or with tongs.

               OYSTER COLLECUONS

               Year I - Collections were made on the submerged reef approximately 150 m
                      from Bird Island. Bearings to locate Station 1 were 305' from Bird
                      Island, 325' from the end of large bridge, and 70' from the north end
                      of Merwin Key. Station 2 was 250 m north of Bird Island at 210' and,
                      325' from the large bridge, and 60' from the north end of Merwin
                      Key. Station 3 was about 200 m from Bird Island at 290', 325' from
                      the bridge, and 70' from the north end of Merwin Key.

               Year   II - Year II stations were in approximately the same locations.
                      Station 1 was on the east side of Bird Island. Station 2 was north of
                      Bird Island, and Station 3 was on the west side of Bird Island.

               Years  III & rV - Years III and IV oyster stations were collected on the
                      large reef north of Bird Island. Bearing to Bird Island were 110' and
                      130' to the high rise condo.

               Year V & VI - Oysters were collected approximately 500 m northwest of
                      Bird Island at the second reef. This was the same general location as
                      last year. Station 1 was on the east end of the reef, Station 2 was in
                      the middle 100 m west of #1, and Station 3 was on the west end of the
                      reef 150 m from the last station.

               Years  V11- & V111 - The same stations described for Year V were sampled
                      these years.

                  SEDIMENTCOLLECTIONS

                  Year I - Sediments were collected adjacent to the oyster stations. No fine
                         sediments were found anywhere near the oyster site.

                  Year 11 - Sediments were sampled west of Bird Island -50-100 m from the
                         oyster Station 3 (Station 1) and then again 200 m farther west (Station
                         2). These sediments were silty sand at best and contained significant
                         amounts of sea grasses. The third sediment was collected at the
                         mouth of the dredged channel which led to the boat launch. This site
                         was several miles from Bird Island and about 0.5-1 mile from the
                         boatlaunch.

                  Year III - Sediments were collected approximately 30 m south of each
                         oyster station.

                  Years.. JV, V, VT V11, & VIII - Sediments were not sampled during these
                         years.

                  SAMPLINGMETHOD

                         Oysters - tongs and by hand
                         Sediment - box core

                  WATER DEPTH - intertidal, 0 to 0.8 meters

                  POSSIBLE CONTAMINANTS - There were no obvious sources of
                  contamination at the Bird Island site. The site was in the open in a large
                  bay. Station 3 sediments would not be considered representative of
                  contaminant exposure at the oyster site. However, it was the only source of
                  sediments which clearly met the size criteria, and the sediments would
                  have been subject to contamination from residential and recreational
                  boating areas which surrounded the canal.

                SITE - FORT MEYERS, CHARLOTTE HARBOR FL

                NOAHNAL SITE CENTER - 26033.50N                 81055.37V

                LOCATED ON NOS CHART # - 11427

                SITE ACCESS - This site, established in Year III, is reached by boat
                launched at the public boat ramp at Redfish Point. Proceed up the
                Calooshatchee River to the Cape Coral Bridge. The site is on the east end of
                the bridge.

                SITE DESCRIPTION - The site was located on the east end of the bridge on
                both sides of the highway. Small oyster clumps along with clams and
                barnacles were attached along the base of the bridge and were in clumps on
                the sand and shell bottom.


                OYSTER COLLECTIONS

                Years III - Oyster Station I was on the east end of the bridge on the
                       northeast side. Oyster Station 2 was on the south side of the Cape
                       Coral Bridge. Station 3 was 100 in to the south along the bulkhead.

                Years IV, V, VI, VH, & VIII - Oyster collections stations were the same
                       sites as sampled in Year III.

                SEDD/MNT COLLECTIONS

                Year III - Sediments were collected 50 to 100 m offshore from the oyster
                       stations. Sediments were primarily sand with some mud. Sediment
                       Station 1 was collected about 50 in north of the oyster collection site in
                       I to 1.5 in of water. Sediment Station 2 was located 75 in south of the
                       oyster collection site. Sediment Station 3 was in 1.5 rn of water -100 in
                       to the northwest of the oyster collection area.

                Years 1-V & VI - Sediments were not sampled during these two years.

                Year V - Sediment samples were collected adjacent to each of the oysters
                       collection sites. Suitable sediment occurred as a thin layer of silt in
                       small depressions. Most of the recent sediment appeared to be
                       associated with recent road construction.

                Years V7'-T & VIII - No sediments were collected these years.

               LOCATED ON NOS CHART # - 11430,11429

               SITE ACCESS - The boat is launched from Bayview Park on the south side
               of Naples. It is accessible almost directly from the interstate via the exit for
               Marco Island. Proceed south on Highway 951 to Rattlesnake Hammock
               Road (Highway 864). Go across Highway 41 to Thommason Road and
               proceed to the end of the road at Bayview Park. Proceed by boat north from
               the park up the channel to channel marker 24.

               SITE DESCRIMON - The oyster reefs were located to the east and adjacent
               to channel marker 24. The old reefs were primarily consolidated and
               cemented old shell fragments.

               OYSTER COLLECTIONS

               Year I - Year I oysters were collected by hand. Station 1 was at a reef in a
                      residential area with bearing of 185' to channel marker 24; 268' to
                      channel marker 26. Station 1 was at the first reef adjacent to channel
                      marker "Red 24". Station 2 was at the second reef with bearing of
                      172' to channel marker 22; 298' to channel marker 24. Station 3 was
                      100 m east of Station 2 at the small reef with a tree.

               Year  II - The oysters during Year II were collected with tongs from the
                      subtidal portions of the reef. Stations were not differentiated, but
                      rather were composites of randomly collected oysters around the
                      small, mostly dead reef.

               Year III - Year III oysters were collected in the same area but the stations
                      were not distinguished.

               Years IV, V, V1, VII, & VIII - The site was the same as sampled
                      previously, a submerged reef adjacent to channel marker 24. Station
                      1 was the submerged reef with the single mangrove tree growing on
                      it. Station 2 was on the east side of the reef; Station 3 was sampled
                      from clumps of oysters by the point to the east of the Station 2.

               SEDBUMW COLLEMONS

               Year I - Sediments from the area were almost non-existent, due to the
                      nature of the consolidated shell bottom. Fine sediments were located
                      only in very small isolated pockets that were found by chance and in
                      boating channels that were dredged to the homesites. Year I
                      sediments were collected along the shore east of the respective oyster
                      stations.

                  Year Il - Sediment Station 1 was among the oyster stations. Sediment
                         Station 2 was north of the oyster site in to the channel east and north
                         of channel marker 26 & 27 (channel identified as Tarpon Road and
                         Kingfisher Road). Sediment #3 was from the entrance to the boat
                         basin at the launch ramp in Bayland Park.

                  Years III, IV, & V - Sediments were located in the same areas as sampled
                         in Year II.

                  Years V1, VII, & VIII - No sediments were sampled these years.

                  SAMPLING METHOD

                         Oysters - tongs and by hand
                         Sediment - box core

                  WATER DEPTH - intertidal, 0.2 to 1 meter

              OYSTER COLLECTIONS

              Year I - The oyster population at this site was not large but was sufficient
                     for repeated sampling. Oysters were collected by hand from a
                     subtidal reef along the shore and from mangrove roots. Station 1 was
                     a submerged bed adjacent to mangrove clump, where mangroves
                     constrict Henderson Creek at Rookery Bay. Station 1 was to the
                     south. Station 2 was -250 m southeast of Station 1 located at 82' from
                     the monument. Station 3 was -10 m west of monument.

              Years 11, 111, IV, V, VIT, VII, & VIII - In these years the site was located
                     in the same area around the monument along the shore line.
                     Oysters were located on clumps on the mangrove roots. Station 1 was
                     south of the monument; Station 2 was north of the monument; and
                     Station 3 was approximately 100 to the northeast.

              SEDIMENT COLLECTIONS

              Years 1, 11, & III - Sediments were taken from among the mangrove roots
                     at each station.

              Years -TV, V, Vil Vii, & V171 - Sediments were not sampled during these
                     years.

              SAMPLING METHOD

                     Oysters - hand
                     Sediment - hand.

              WATER DEPTH - intertidal, 0.2 to 0.5 meters

              POSSIBLE CONTAMINANTS - No observable contamination factors were
              noted.

               SITE DESCRIPTION - Faka Union Bay is located in the Cape Romano-Ten
               Thousand Islands Aquatic Preserve. An intertidal reef surrounds a
               mangrove island.      The oysters were abundant, and no observable
               contamination factors were noted.


               OYSTER COLLECTIONS

               Year I - Year I oyster collections were made on a small exposed reef with
                     mangroves. Station 1 was located 30 m from channel marker 48 on a
                     bearing of 180'. Station 2 was 100 m to the north of Station 1 and 25 m
                     from channel marker 50. Station 3 was 100 m southeast of Station 1.

               Years 11 - Year II stations were moved slightly to the south to the
                     submerged reef on the island at the end of the channel near marker
                     53. Station 1 was at the west end of the reef. Station 2 was in the
                     middle. Station 3 was on the east end of the island.

               Years III, IV, V, V1, VII, & VIII   - Oyster collection stations were the
                     same as those described for Year 11.

               SEDIMENT COLLECTIONS

               Years I, Il', III & rV - Sediments were collected at each oyster station
                     among the mangrove roots.

               Years V, V1, VIT & VIII - Sediments were not sampled during these
                     years.

               SAMPLINGMETHOD

                     Oysters - hand
                     Sediment - hand

               WATER DEPTH - intertidal, 0 to 0.3 meters

               POSSIBLE CONTAMINANTS - No sources of contaminants were
               identified.

               NOA19NAL SrIE CENTER - 24039.52'N                81016.43V

               LOCATED ON NOS CHART # - 11445

               SITE ACCESS - The bivalve collection site is located directly north of the
               entrance to the Bahia Honda Recreation Area and can be reached by
               driving to the site and walking to the shoreline. The sediment collection
               site must be accessed by a boat.

               SITE DESCRIPTION - This site was established in Year VI. There were no
               oysters present but an alternate bivalve, the smooth-edge jewel box Whama
               sinuosa) of the family Chamidae, was collected for analysis. The bivalves
               'were attached to the edge of the vertical face of a hard carbonate wall which
               is on the northeast side of a U shaped cove.

               OYSTER COLLECTIONS

               Year   VI - All three stations were collected along the carbonate wall.
                      Station 1 was in the center of the northeast shoreline. Station 2 was
                      seaward (west) of Station 1. Station 3 was to the inside of the cove
                      toward the road. The site was accessible from the shore and was best
                      sampled using a mask and snorkle.

               Year VII - The same station were collected again this year.

               SEDEMENT COLLECTIONS

               Years  VI - Sediments were collected along the mangrove shoreline east of
                      the bivalve sites at latitude 24'40.17'N and longitude 81'15.90'W. The
                      site could only be reached by boat traveling through shallow water.
                      This was 0.65 mi east of the bivalve collection sites at the first point of
                      land extending into the bay. Station 1 was at the point and Station 2
                      was 100 m to the east. Station 3 was 100 m to the west. Sediments at
                      the site were primarily detrital material (mostly sea grasses)
                      overlaying fine carbonate sand. After removing the overburden of
                      decomposing organic material to get to the oozy carbonate/detrital
                      mixture which comprised the "surficial sediment", sediments were
                      obtained at a water depth of 0.2 m.

               Years V11 - Sediments were not sampled this year.

               SAMPLING METHOD

                      Oysters - hand
                      Sediment - hand

               WATER DEPTH - Subtidal, 0.5 meters

               SITE - BAHIA DE BOQUERON, PUERTO RICO PR

               NOMINAL SITE CENTER - 18000.44N                 67010.72W

               LOCATED ON NOS CHART # - 25675,25671

               SITE ACCESS - The site is accessible only by boat. A boat and operator is
               available for rent in the town of Boqueron. To reach the site travel from the
               boat dock in Boqueron across Bahia de Boqueron (Boqueron Bay) on a course
               of 150' to the entrance of a smaller bay. Pass through mouth of the
               unnamed bay, turn to a heading of 50', and proceed to the east side of the
               bay. All three stations are located in the small bay system on the south side
               of Boqueron Bay

               SITE DESCRIPTION - Station 1 was located along the east shoreline across
               from the marine police boat dock (295* back to the dock). Station 2 was
               located on the north side of the small island at the near the mouth of the
               bay. The island was located south of a small channel running to the west
               the and west of the main channel which runs to the southeast. Landmarks
               from the site were the Boqueron pier (55') and the beach cottages (90').
               Station 3 was further west down the channel at the end of the cove. There
               were no visible reference landmarks.

               OYSTER COLLECTIONS

                Year VII & V7'11'- Oysters at all three stations were collected from the roots
                      of red mangrove trees. Many dead oysters were found interspersed
                      with the live oysters, presumably from recent fresh water inflow.
                      Stations are described in the site description section.

               SEDIMENT COLLECTIONS

               Year VII - Sediments were located with the oysters and were collected
                      among the mangrove roots in 0.1 to 1 m of water. Sediments were
                      soft anaerobic black mud over hard reddish brown clay.

               Year V111 - No sediments were collected this year.

               SITE - BAHIA MONTALVA, PUERTO RICO                   PR

               NOMINAL SITE CEN R - 17058.23'N                 66059.43'W


               LOCATED ON NOS CHART # - 25671

               SITE ACCESS - This site is a walkup site and is reached by automobile.
               Travel from the La Parguera area north on Highway 304 to Highway 324.
               Take Highway 324 toward Ensenada, travel east to the Highway 323 turn
               off, continue on for approximately 200 m on Highway 324 to the first dirt
               road past the white house with a pink roof. Turn right and follow the dirt
               road past the pole barn with the rusty roof and across the salt pond to the
               edge of Bahia Montalva (Montalva Bay).

               SITE DESCRIPTION - All three stations were located along the north
               shoreline. Station 1 was directly south of the pole barn adjacent to the boat
               anchoring area. Station 2 was 50 m east of Station 1. Station 3 was 50 m
               west of Station 1.


               OYSTER COLLECTIONS

               Year V71 & 'V7II - Oysters were collected at the stations described in the site
                      description. Station 1 oysters were attached to red mangrove roots,
                      rubble, PVC and wood pilings along the shoreline. Station 2 and 3
                      oysters were all attached to mangrove roots. Oysters were small and
                      very thin shelled.

               SEDIMENT COLLECTIONS

               Yea r  V11 - Sediments were collocated with the oysters. Station 1 was
                      located approximately 5 m west of the oysters at a small boat dock.
                      The sediment was black mud. Station 2 was at the end of the eastern
                      most small boat dock. Sediments were black sandy mud. Station 3
                      was 2-3 m from the oysters and was collected from around the
                      mangrove roots and in open patches among the turtle grass beds.
                      Sediments at this site were much sandier and contained some broken
                      shell.

               Year VIII - No sediments were collected this year.

               SITE - BAHIA DE JOBOS, PUERTO RICO              PR

               NOMINAL SITE CENTER - 17056.33'N                66010.95V

               LOCATED ON NOS CHART # - 25677

               SITE ACCESS - This site is located in the east end of Bahia de Jobos (Jobos
               Bay) and can only be reached by boat. There are no boats for lease in the
               area so arrangements must be made with a local fisherman. To reach the
               boat launch area travel from Jobos by automobile on Highway 7710 toward
               Pozuelo, go to the second small bay area where boat are anchored. By boat
               go through the mangroves into the bay and turn east. Proceed to the east
               end of the bay to the inlet into Laguna de las Mareas.

               SITE DESCRIPTION - All three stations were located at the east end of
               Bahia de Jobos. Station 1 was approximately 100 m west of the inlet into
               Laguna de las Mareas on the south shoreline. Station 2 was at the inlet into
               Laguna de las Mareas. Station 3 was 100 m north of the inlet in a small
               cove. An obvious landmark is the electric generation station at the opposite
               end of the bay near Aguirre.

               OYSTER COLLEC11ONS

               Years V11 & WI1 - Oysters were collected at the stations described in the
                      site descriptions. Oysters at all three stations were found on the roots
                      ofred mangrove trees. Oysters were not abundant.

               SEDIMENT COLLECTIONS

               Year V11'- Sediments sampling stations were collocated with the oysters in
                      1 to 2 m of water and were collected within 2 to 3 m of the edge of the
                      mangrove roots. Station 1 sediments were fine grain black silt with
                      some shell hash. Station 2 sediments were fine grained black silty
                      sand. Sediments from Station 3 were fine grained black silt. Turtle
                      and manatee grass was abundant throughout the bay-starting near
                      the edge of the mangrove roots.

               Year VIII - No sediments were collected this year.

               SAMPLINGMETHOD

                      Oysters - hand
                      Sediment - box corer

               WATER DEPTH - intertidal, 0.1 to 0.2 meter

               POSSIBLE CONTAMINANTS - There were no obvious sources of
               contamination. Contamination is possible from the opposite end of the bay
               from the power generation plant. The fisherman who took us to the site

              said that there had been a mercury spill in the bay, but did not remember
              when.
