The primary objectives of each research contract are given in the 

 following sections under the respective headings along with bibliographic 

 entries and a list of references. 



a. Sandy Hook Laboratory Study . The contract with Sandy Hook Labora- 

 tory (SHL) of the National Marine Fisheries provided for interdisciplinary 

 ecological studies of the Bight dumping groionds. The 2 -year investiga- 

 tion by SHL included studies of benthic meiofauna and macrofauna distri- 

 bution in the Bight, benthic microbiology, pathological effects of wastes 

 on larger benthic crustaceans, analysis of basic chemical variables af- 

 fecting benthic invertebrates, zooplankton and finfish. To support the 

 ecological studies, chemical and hydrographic studies were also conducted. 

 The results of the studies are outlined in the following reports: 



Sandy Hook Laboratory, 1971, "The Effects of Waste Disposal in 

 the New York Bight," National Marine Fisheries Service, Middle 

 Atlantic Coastal Fisheries Center, Tech. Rept., 9 Vol, 749 pp., 

 N.T.I.S. Acquisition numbers AD 730531 through AD 739539. 



Sandy Hook Laboratory, 1972, "The Effects of Waste Disposal in 

 the New York Bight," Summary Final Report (Middle Atlantic 

 Coastal Fisheries Center) National Marine Fisheries Service, 

 70 pp, N.T.I.S. Acquisition number, AD 743936. 



b. State University of New York, Stony Brook Study (SUNY, SB) . 

 SUNY, SB under contract with CERC undertook chemical studies of waste 

 deposits to determine elements in selected areas of the Bight. These 

 studies are outlined in the following three reports:
