In 1983, the Minerals Management Service initiated a multi-year program to study the Continental Slope of the northern Gulf of Mexico as part of its Outer Continental Shelf environmental studies program. Volume II of the 3 volume Year 4 report provides an environmental and biological background as a context for the study findings, and a summary of the overall methods and approaches used to meet program objectives; the findings describing the slope environment and habitats; the meiofaunal, macrofaunal, and the megafaunal communities that occur over soft-bottom communities and project specific studies at the site known as Bush Hill; and a conceptual model of the slope ecosystem.
