The Marine Environment of Marine Del Rey, California: A Baseline Survey, July 1976-June 1979. Marine Studies of San Pedro Bay, California, Part 18

摘要

Marina del Rey, a small craft recreational harbor encompassing some 403 acres of waterways, slips and berthing basins, is entirely manmade, created in 1960-1962 from lands that were formerly part of the Ballona Creek wetlands. The present investigation began in July 1976, to study the biological, physical and chemical aspects of the marina, which had not previously been undertaken. Thirteen sites were selected for establishing stations representative of the diverse environmental conditions in the marina. This report presents data on the physical and biological environment with specific tabulated data on: Temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, and pH. Biological data are also tabulated.
