• Description:
  The objective of this analysis was to utilize remotely sensed satellite imagery to determine the spatial boundaries of nearshore areas or zones likely to be affected by pollutants fr001 land -based sources, so that data collected on the presence or absence of living marine resources could be combined with information on land-based pollutant discharges in a preliminary and relative assessment of potential risk. These areas have been termed "ocean zones of impact". The actual size and shapes of these zones vary, depending upon: (1) type and quantity of pollutant discharge; (2) local meteorologic conditions; and (3) oceanographic/hydrodynamic conditions.
