fauna were found. Changes observed in the benthic macrofauna on the ocean 

 beaches were well within the range attributable to the natural variation of

 sound beaches, changes were detected in the benthic macrofauna; however, these 

 were attributed to a salinity increase during the 1981 sampling year.
