Sampling Methods. In Phase 1 , samples were collected with a modified Van Veen grab sampler (also 

 known as a Young sampler) operated aboard the research vessel Mysidopsis. Samples were collected 

 in five periods: March 18-22; April 1-5; April 15-18; April 28-May 2; and May 13-16, 1991. The 

 center of each site was located with LORAN-C and Global Positioning System units. At each site, a 

 buoy was dropped at the coordinates provided by NOAA. Then, the vessel was moved approximately 

 100 m. away from the buoy for each of the three stations sampled at the site. The location of each 

 station was determined with Loran and GPS, along with radar ranges and hand-held compass bearings. 

 Generally the stations at each site were equidistant from the site center and about 250 m. apart from 

 each other. In most cases the stations formed a triangle around the site center, but, where conditions 

 dictated otherwise, the stations were arranged in a straight line. Situations were avoided where consid- 

 erably different environments were sampled at an individual site. For example, stations were located at 

 a site such that all three were in similar depths and had sediments with similar-appearing grain sizes. 

 Stations were not selected to represent conditions off known point or non-point discharges, waste 

 dump sites, etc.
