Abstract: This project will examine the level of oil contamination in pink salmon streams in 1989-90 and 1995 by analyzing sediment samples collected in 1989-90 by ADFG and similar samples collected in 1995 by the Auke Bay Laboratory/NOAA. Analysis and comparison of the 1989-90 and 1995 data will complete the understanding of the injury to pink salmon by documenting the initial exposure level and subsequent habitat recovery.
