Survey of Copper in Kings Bay and Cumberland Sound.

A multiparameter survey consisting of physical, chemical, and biological measurements was performed to map the copper distribution in Kings Bay an Cumberland Sound, Georgia. The results of this study suggest (1) Kings Bay was probably not a source of elevated copper levels during the study interval,...

Description
Summary:A multiparameter survey consisting of physical, chemical, and biological measurements was performed to map the copper distribution in Kings Bay an Cumberland Sound, Georgia. The results of this study suggest (1) Kings Bay was probably not a source of elevated copper levels during the study interval, (2) dewatering of the dredge spoil containment area does not appear to be a souce of cooper pollution, and (3) concentrations in the Lower Turning Basin of Kings Bay were slightly higher than levels in the Upper Basin or in Cumberland Sound, suggesting possible input from copper antifouling coatings.
