The application of BEAST sediment quality guidelines to Hamilton Harbour, an area of concern / D. Milani and L.C. Grapentine.: En13-5/06-407E-PDF
"This report describes sediment quality in Hamilton Harbour, identified as an ‘Area of Concern’ due primarily to organic and trace metal contamination in the sediment and poor water quality. The benthic assessment of sediment (BEAST) methodology was applied to 44 sites in the Harbour. The BEAST method involves the assessment of sediment quality based on multivariate techniques using data on benthic community structure, the functional responses of laboratory organisms in toxicity tests, and the physical and chemical attributes of the sediment and overlying water"--Abstract.
