Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
A large-scale co-operative project involving a number of countries bordering the North Sea was initiated in order to provide information on the status of the benthic communities and the sedimentary environment and to assess the possible impact of anthropogenic influences on the health of the sea. In this paper the data obtained on the environmental parameters-grain size, organic carbon, chlorophyllous pigment content, and the distribution of the trace metals - are discussed together with the benthic biomass and species richness. From this information it can be seen that while the southern North Sea exbibits signs of pollution having had an impact upon the environment, the northern part has remained in a relatively unimpacted state. |
