Contaminated Sediments in Boston Harbor
Here the authors focus on the sediments of Boston Harbor, along with nearby Massachusetts and Cape Cod Bays. This region was chosen for several reasons. First, the harbor is badly polluted. Second, there are several important civil engineering projects underway or pending, including the development of new wastewater treatment facilities, navigational dredging, and interstate highway construction; the way in which these projects are implemented will have a significant effect on harbor sediment quality. And finally, the harbor is in the authors' backyard, making it a convenient area to study. While the authors' focus is on Boston Harbor, they note that most of the issues addressed in their study are relevant to other contaminated harbors as well. The subject matter is multi-disciplinary, spanning disciplines of coastal circulation and dispersion, sediment transport, organic and inorganic chemistry, benthic biology and coastal zone policy. The first three chapters, edited by Keith Stolzenbach and Eric Adams with the help of all those listed on the title page, provide a summary of work done on contaminated sediments in Boston Harbor. Much of the work comes from the collaborating authors, but the authors have tried to summarize other work as appropriate. The remaining three chapters are individually authored.
