Aquatic Baseline Studies for Environmental Impact Assessment
In this paper, those living components of an estuary/continental shelf environmental complex that are potentially vulnerable to various degrading impacts of anthropogenic origin are identified. The latter are principally associated with the establishment in the complex of sewage and industrial outfalls, power plants, and disposal sites for dredged material. In order to assess the effects of these impacts and to provide hard data for Environmental Impact Assessment, field sampling is indicated. Accordingly, the general nature of a sampling program is discussed in detail. It is advised further that, once the relevant impacts are discerned and understood, it is desirable that the disposal areas be monitored for changes in various parameters cited in the text. Recognizing that monitoring programs often do little to perceive the areal and ecological extent as well as the environmental significance of impacts, the author from his experience suggests that a promising tool for accomplishing these goals is analysis of the adenylate energy charge of both experimental and indigenous organisms exposed in the field to the stressful impacts.
