dc.description.abstract	This report describes a project undertaken to assess the sanitary conditions of Biscayne Bay, Florida, especially concerning sewage input from non-point sources . The study was divided into two phases. The purpose of phase I was to provide an overview of sediment conditions throughout the Bay study area. In phase II, four study areas were determined, Kings Bay, Dinner Key, Biscayne Canal and Little River. Surface sediment was collected from 35 sample stations within the four study areas on a quarterly basis. The fecal sterol coprostanol was studied as the primary indicator of sewage impact.	en
