Description:"The goal of the National Status and Trends Bioeffects Assessments Program is to evaluate the magnitude and extent of contamination that impacts habitat conditions which influence biodiversity and distribution of benthic infaunal communities in coastal waters. The objectives are to determine the environmental health of coastal and estuarine areas by characterizing incidence and degree of surficial sediment toxicity; determine the spatial patterns or gradients in chemical contamination and toxicity, if any, and determine the association among measures of sediment contamination, toxicity and the benthic macroinvertebrate community structure"--Introduction.
