Includes bibliographical references (pages 20-24). "The results presented in this report illustrate the farfield mixing of the Niagara River outflow by tracking river water masses using satellite-tracked Lagrangian drifters. The results document the remarkable variability of the Niagara River Plume in Lake Ontario, particularly the impact of the persistent south shore coastal current and the westward displacements of the plume. These observations correlate well with the distribution of sediment-borne toxic contaminants such as mercury and mirex attributed to the Niagara River outflow (Thomas 1983). The report provides a basis for the integration of the transport, distribution and pathways of toxic contaminants in the Niagara River-Lake Ontario-St. Lawrence River system"--Management perspective.
