Biogeochemical studies of benthic community restoration at a phosphate chemical plant.

Abstract

This report includes data collected from the 1980 Mote Marine Laboratory's activities in assisting in studies of estuarine fauna in a part of Tampa Bay, Florida affected by long-term discharge of effluent from a phosphate fertilizer factory situated at the mouth of the Alafia River, Hillsborough County, Florida. The study was aimed at documenting improvements, if any, in the fauna following pollution control strategies required of the factory by the State of Florida.
