| Abstract: | A microbiological study of an historically active dredge spoil disposal area in Long Island Sound showed no obvious long-term effects on the bacterial populations of water and sediment. Observations were made 4 years after the last deposition of dredge spoils. Determinations included total and faecal coliforms and numbers, hydrolytic types, and taxonomic groupings of ‘total’ heterotrophic bacteria. Comparisons with water and sediment from other areas of the sound indicated that the dump site was not bacteriologically unique. |
