The Ocean Archive System searches our original datasets as they were submitted to us, not individual points or profiles. If you want to search and retrieve ocean profiles in a common format, or objectively analyzed fields, your better option may be to use one of our project applications. See: Access Data

| Title: | Sediment Dwelling Benthos as Indicator Species for Pollution Monitoring of Mamala Bay, Oahu, Hawaii, 1993-1994 (NCEI Accession 9900121) |
| Abstract: | A multifaceted study of the sediment dwelling benthos was conducted in Mamala Bay to identify suitable species as indicators of sewage enrichment. There are five components to this study - 1) reproduction and life histories of potential indicator species, 2) seasonal abundance of each indicator species near the outfall and at the control site (Diamond Head) at 70m depth, 3) abundance and species richness of indicators and associated benthos at 6 sites and the control at 40m depth, 4) sediment grain size analyses at each site to characterize the infaunal habitat, 5) CHN and Nitrogen analyses from the study area to elucidate the role of sewage in the organic content of the sediments. Each component is presented as a separate section as methods and analyses differ for each. This same format is used for the appendices. |

| Supplementary information: | Note: Metadata for this accession were extracted from a legacy database maintained by the U.S. National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC). The design of the database did not exactly reflect the FGDC Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM). Principal Investigator (PI) and organization contact information accurately represents all available information from the legacy database at the time that this description was created. However, proper attribution of a PI to a specific institution or the role (submitting or collecting) taken by an institution may not be correct due to inexact mapping between fields in the legacy database and the CSDGM. Due to this uncertainty, the contact information was initially recorded in the Supplemental Information element of the CSDGM description. To develop more accurate metadata, NCEI reviews metadata for all accessions on an ongoing basis.
