"This report describes a study of fecal coliform dynamics in Semiahmoo Bay and Drayton Harbour. Shellfish harvesting has been closed within Semiahmoo Bay for many years due to bacteriological contamination. The specific goal of this study is to develop a circulation model for the marine waters of Semiahmoo Bay and Drayton Harbour. The model is used to study the temporal and spatial dispersion of contaminants, in particular fecal coliform bacteria, from identified point sources. The study consists of a numerical simulation of circulation as well as a program of field observations for model validation"--Executive summary, page i (first volume).
