A three-year monitoring program began in 1983 to investigate trace-metal and hydrocarbon distributions in nearshore and offshore sediments and in benthic organisms from Camden Bay to Harrison Bay in the Beaufort Sea. The program is geared to detection and quantification of long-term change in trace metal and hydrocarbon distributions that (1) result from discharges of Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) oil and gas exploration and production activities, (2) adversely affect humans and the quality of the environment, (3) influence Federal OCS regulatory management decisions and (4) to determine the causes of such damage.
