Senior thesis written for Oceanography 445[author abstract] Metal contaminants in marine sediments can pose a threat to marine biota and can bio-accumulate in the higher trophic levels of fjord communities (Bryan 1992, Buggy 2008). Mining activity on land can be a source of metal-contaminated dissolved and suspended sediments to estuaries and fjords where they can accumulate on the seafloor. Nootka Sound, western Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, is an area of known metal mining activity adjacent to marine estuarine systems. In this two-year study in December 2014 and 2015, 40 surface marine sediment samples were collected in the coastal fjord region of Nootka Sound, including Tahsis and Zeballos Inlets. Each sample was analyzed f...
