Abstract: In FY 96 a comprehensive report will be produced synthesizing and summarizing four years of studies on the persistence of oiling in mussel beds in PWS and the Gulf of Alaska and restoration of 12 of these beds. Chemical analyses of mussel and sediment samples collected in 1995 will be completed early in 1996. No new sample collection or site visits are proposed for FY 96.
