Description:Sandy Hook Laboratory has been examining the impact of ocean waste disposal on the ecosystem of the New York Bight apex since 1968 (Pearce et al. , 1976a). The benthic community in the apex has been used to indicate impacts because certain bottom-dwelling organisms are often the first to be demonstrably affected by pollutants. The study has had three phases: 1) reconnaissance, 2) seasonal quarterly sampling: five cruises, August 1973 through September 1974 (Pearce et al., 1976b,19 76c, 1977) , and 3) intensive grid sampling in areas shown to be affected by sewage sludge and dredging spoils disposal (dredging spoils grid samples are still being analyzed at Sandy Hook Laboratory).
