April 1998. Silver Spring, Maryland. Surficial sediment samples were collected from 162 locations within five estuaries - Charleston Harbor, Winyah Bay, Leadenwah Creek, Savannah River, and St. Simons Sound - in coastal South Carolina and Georgia in a survey of sediment toxicity performed in 1993 and 1994. All samples were tested for toxicity and a battery of complimentary laboratory bioassays. The laboratory bioassays consisted of amphipod survival tests in solid-phase sediments, microbial bioluminescence (Microtox) tests of organic solvent extracts, and sea urchin fertilization and embryo development tests of porewaters. Some samples were also tested in copepod reproduction and cytochrome P-450 RGS bioassays. Chemical analyses for a suite of trace metals, organic compounds and sedimentological factor were performed with portions of most samples. Specific objectives of the study were to: (1) Determine the presence and severity of toxic responses; (2) estimate the spatial extent of toxicity; (3) identify spatial patterns of toxicity in each system; (4) characterize the relationships between toxicity and the concentrations of potential toxicants in the sediments. The dataset objective is to report information about chemical residues in sediment and sediment toxicity characteristics of the system. The partners in this project were: (1) National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA); (2) The Charleston Harbor Project (Mr. Heyward Robinson) funded the analyses of selected samples from the Charleston Harbor area. (3) The State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection assisted in the collection of samples (Ms Gail M. Sloane). (4) Dr. Kevin Summmers (US EPA, Gulf Breeze, FL) assisted in the survey design. completed NCCOS Scientific Data Coordinator NCCOS.data@noaa.gov pointOfContact NCCOS Scientific Data Coordinator NCCOS.data@noaa.gov custodian notPlanned Environmental Monitoring theme NOS Data Explorer Topic Category Microtox NCCOS Research Data Type > Field Observation NCCOS Research Priority > Long-term Monitoring NCCOS Research Priority > Stressors, Impacts, Mitigation, and Restoration (SIMR) NCCOS Research Topic > Bioeffects/Toxicity NCCOS Research Topic > Chemical Contaminants NCCOS Research Topic > Monitoring P450 HRGS PAH PCB Site amphipod analytes bioassay butyltins chemical contaminants date estuary inorganic latitude location longitude national status and trends nsandt organic organochlorines parameter pesticides polychlorinated biphenyls polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons region sea urchin fertilization sediment state station toxicity theme Charleston Harbor Georgia Leadenwah Creek NCCOS Research Location > Geographic Area > Coastal Ocean NCCOS Research Location > Region > East Coast NCCOS Research Location > U.S. States and Territories > Georgia NCCOS Research Location > U.S. States and Territories > South Carolina Savannah River South Atlantic South Carolina St. Simons Sound Winyah Bay place DOC/NOAA/NOS/NCCOS > National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science, National Ocean Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2017-04-24 publication 8.5 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.
