We're also starting to measure, either directly or in¬ 
directly, some kinds of recycling from the bottom back into the 
water. A number of people have suggested that bottoms may be 
real important influences on overall water quality. 
The deposition of organic matter from the plankton, the 
composition of it from the shallow euphotic waters to the deep 
waters of the Bay, is certainly another potentially important 
descriptor of water quality conditions and the possible tra¬ 
jectory that they might take. 
I think I've made my points enough. There were a few of 
them. And I'm not going to reiterate, but I will answer any 
questions if you have them. 
Thank you.
