Includes bibliographical references. "The purpose of environmental assessment and management is ultimately the maintenance of biological integrity; thus, we suggest that the setting of water and sediment quality objectives should involve the use of biological criteria rather than chemical surrogates. The objective of this study to develop biological guidelines using community structure together with laboratory responses in survival, growth and reproduction of benthic invertebrates. These guidelines can be used for assessment of sediment in harbours and embayments for possible remediation or for assessment of sediment removed in navigational or other dredging projects"--Summary, page 1. gccst Bioassay Day, Kristin E.
