  1. EEPS Benthos 2008 • RMP Status & Trends sediment monitoring added benthos at 27 stations in 2008 for implementing SQO. • EEPS Benthos Workgroup will meet twice this year to review the benthos LOE for Bays and Estuaries and further develop the mesohaline benthos LOE. Draft data - do not cite or quote

  2. Causes of Sediment ToxicitySediment TIE Study (2007-2008) The goal of this study is to refine newly developed estuarine amphipod sediment Toxicity Identification Evaluation (TIE) methods for eventual use in evaluating toxic samples from RMP S&T samples. Draft data - do not cite or quote

  3. Sediment TIE Study Design • Identify 12 potential sites • Sample in the winter • Screen sites to locate two toxic sites • Conduct the TIE study at these sites Draft data - do not cite or quote

  4. Sediment TIE Study Status l l l l l • 12 sites were sampled and tested • Only Mission Ck was toxic enough for a TIE study • We even sampled a 13th site l l l l l l p l Draft data - do not cite or quote
