"Bacteriological and sanitary surveys of Sooke Harbour and basin were conducted in 1983 during two different climatic conditions. The purpose of these surveys was to re-evaluate the quality of the shellfish growing waters and to identify and evaluate sources of fecal pollution to these marine waters. During the summer period, August 9 to 14, 1983 and the winter period, December 6 to 12, 1983, a total of 598 marine, 111 freshwater, 11 tissue, and 8 sediment samples were collected. Eight of the sixty marine stations sampled did not meet the approved growing water quality standards. Data indicate that fecal contamination is sporadic in all stations of the study area but most evident around the areas of Sooke Flats, Hutchinson Cove and Anderson Cove. This contamination was also more evident during the winter period coincident with increased precipitation, lower amounts of sunlight, cooler temperatures and increased freshwater input. As a result of this study one closure has been expanded, one closure has been renamed, and six closures have been revoked under the Pacific Shellfish Regulations Schedule I (Contaminated Areas)"--Abstract, page i.
