A Synthesis of Chemical Contaminants Monitoring Da...
Between 2007 and 2018, the National Park Service and its partners in association with NOAA’s National Mussel Watch Program collected bay mussel (Mytilus trossulus) tissue samples from Alaska's southeast and ...
Assessment of Chemical Contaminants in Sediments a...
Funded by NOAA’s Coral Reef Conservation Program (CRCP), the goal of this project is to quantify the extent of chemical contamination in sediments and fish in Cocos Lagoon, Guam. Significant ...
Bioeffects Assessment in Bristol Bay, Alaska: Char...
Bristol Bay hosts the largest salmon fishery in the world, as well as a number of other important fisheries. We are studying sediment conditions that influence biodiversity and the distribution ...
Bioeffects Program Reports: Mid/North Atlantic Reg...
The Bioeffects program is a nationwide program of environmental assessment designed to describe the current status of environmental quality in our nation's estuarine and coastal areas. Field studies examine the ...
Characterization of Land-Based Sources of Pollutio...
We assessed the condition of the St. Thomas East End Reserves, establishing a baseline from which we can evaluate the effectiveness of restoration activities. This is the first reserve-wide integrated ...
Coastal Pollution Data Explorer
The Coastal Pollution Data Explorer is an interactive web-based interface that enables users to explore spatial and temporal trends of chemical contaminant data in U.S. coastal areas. Users can compare, ...
Comparison of Chemical Contaminants Found in Hudso...
In 2017, the New York–New Jersey Harbor and Estuary Program asked NCCOS’s National Status and Trends (NS&T) Program to survey the Hudson and Raritan Bays' bottom sediments for chemical contaminants ...
Contaminant and Disease Assessment in Native Alask...
In rural Alaska, native communities rely heavily on subsistence fishing for food. To assess food safety, we tested salmon and shellfish harvested by tribe members for contaminants, parasites, and diseases ...

Assessment of Hydrocarbon Carryover Potential for Six Field Cleaning Protocols
Sample collection in the field faces many challenges including, but not limited to, the equipment and materials that can be brought safely into the field. Field teams will often reuse sample collection gear by cleaning it between sampling sites to ...
Benthic habitat contaminant status and sediment toxicity in Bristol Bay, Alaska
A baseline environmental characterization of the northeastern reaches of Bristol Bay, Alaska was conducted using the National Status and Trends’ sediment quality triad approach. The study area was subdivided into 6 strata based on geophysical and hydrodynamic patterns (the upper ...
Benthic habitats of Fish Bay, Coral Bay and the St. Thomas East End Reserve
This report describes the development and assessment of shallow (0-40 m) benthic habitat maps for Fish Bay, Coral Bay and the St. Thomas East End Reserve (STEER) in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The objective of this effort, conducted by NOAA's ...
Characterization of fish communities and associated benthic habitats in the St. Thomas East End Reserves (STEER)
Located at the southeastern end of St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI), the St. Thomas East End Reserves (STEER) is a collection of several existing protected areas, including Cas Cay/Mangrove Lagoon, St. James, and Compass Point Salt Pond Marine Reserves ...
Measurement of Turbidity, Suspended Sediments and Nutrients in Three Rivers that Drain to the Achang Preserve from the Manell Watershed, Guam
The goal of this project, funded by NOAA’s Coral Reef Conservation Program and requested by local partners, was to monitor water quality in three rivers that drain to the Achang Reef Flat Marine Preserve at the southern tip of Guam, ...
Mussel Site Description and Sampling Procedures for Washington State
National Status and Trends (NS&T) Mussel Watch Program provides status of and temporal trends of coastal contaminant conditions. Bivalve tissues are analyzed for a suite of about 500 legacy and emerging chemicals of concern. In addition, bivalve tissues are assessed ...
Mussel Watch sampling procedures and site descriptions for Oregon State
National Status and Trends (NS&T) Mussel Watch Program provides status of and temporal trends of coastal contaminant conditions. Bivalve tissues are analyzed for a suite of about 600 legacy and emerging chemicals of concern. In addition, bivalve tissues are assessed ...
National Status and Trends Bioeffects Assessment: Chemical contaminant data in the St. Thomas East End Reserves, U.S. Virgin Islands, from 2010-05-04 to 2012-06-22 (NCEI Accession 0146168)
This dataset provides valuable baseline data on sediment chemical contamination for the St. Thomas East End Reserve (STEER), U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI). From 2010-2012, NOAA scientists collected samples as part of a larger, long-term monitoring National Status and Trends Program ...
National Status and Trends Mussel Watch Program: Sampling Methods 2012 Update
Since 1986, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), through its National Status and Trends (NS&T) Mussel Watch Program, has monitored our coastal waters for chemical contaminants and biological indicators of water quality. The Mussel Watch Program (MWP) is based ...
NCCOS Assessment: Measurement of Turbidity and Nutrients in Three Rivers that Drain to the Achang Reef Flat from Manell Watershed, Guam, from 2016-12-01 to 2018-12-31 (NCEI Accession 0204837)
This dataset contains results from the monitoring of nutrients and turbidity in three rivers in the Manell watershed in southern Guam, which drain to the Achang Reef Flat Marine Preserve. The dataset contains a series of data tables and a ...
