Small craft harbours in the Pacific region : habitat impact, benign alteration or habitat creation? / by J.S. Macdonald, H.E. Herunter, and E. Chiang.: Fs97-6/3255E-PDF
"This study provides an approach for examining the impact of coastal development in the Pacific Region. Within three harbours physical attributes, biological communities, and chemical, and toxicological characteristics were selected as potential indicators of response and compared among various types of structures with adjacent reference locations. Response variables were contrasted among the reference sites in quest of a single reference condition independent of geographic location, and among treatments to detect response consistency among harbours. Physical and chemical correlates with community characteristics were examined as possible evidence of ecological processes or pathways of effects. Traditional methods to analyze contaminant, toxicity and biological metrics (SQT) are used in conjunction with multivariate routines to guide future more extensive monitoring programs that purport to weigh gains and losses associated with coastal development"--Introd., p. 2-3.
