Description In June 2021, Ecology sampled surface sediments at 36 monitoring stations in Elliott Bay as part of our Puget Sound Sediment Monitoring Program Urban Bays Surveys. The surveys characterize current surface conditions for large geographic areas rather than targeted locations or cleanup sites. We published results in an interactive story map that summarizes findings from the analysis of physical, biogeochemical, and chemical contaminant parameters, and the composition of the sediment-dwelling invertebrate communities. We compared the results to those from our 1998, 2007, and 2013 surveys.
