INTRODUCTION

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U Slaquo Army Corps of

Engineers (COE) are responsible for designating and managing ocean dredged

material disposal sites under the Marine Protection Research and Sanctuaries

Act (MPRSA) of 1972 (P L- 92-532 called the Ocean Dumping Act) The MPRSA

was passed in recognition that the disposal of wastes into ocean waters could

potentially adversely affect the environment and MPRSA requires that such

disposal occur only at designated sites The EPA requires that site

designations be based on 1) environmental studies at each site and 2) historical

information on the impact of dredged material disposal on areas similar to such

sites in physical chemical and biological characteristics

Within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration the National

Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has the primary Federal responsibility for the

conservation management and development of the Nations fishery resources

under the Fishery Conservation and Management Act P L 9^-265 The NMFS

Habitat Conservation Policy recognizes that healthy marine estuarine and

anadromous fish habitats are essential to maintaining the Nation s fisheries

Under this policy the NMFS has been cooperating with the EPA and COE in

evaluating interim offshore dredge disposal sites in Oregon and Washington

In July 1985 the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) entered into a

cooperative agreement with the EPA and the Seattle District COE to conduct an

ecological survey at a proposed interim dredge disposal site off Wiliapa Bay

Washington between 30 July and 1 August 1985- Previous studies at the proposed

site (10-15 fathoms) by Simons (198A) and Shapiro and Associates Inc (1985)

indicated high benthic invertebrate densities similar to those found off

Tlllamook Bayj Oregon (gt70000 organismsm^) at 10-20 fathoms by Emmett et albull

(1987) As a result EPA requested additional benthlc Invertebrate sampling

prior to final site designation However the Wlllapa Bay Interim disposal site

was subsequently moved to deeper water (10-2A fathoms) because of the Intensive

commercial crab fishery at the original site and It was at this new site that

our sampling took place

Benthlc Invertebrate communities are commonly monitored during

environmental assessment surveys Benthlc Invertebrates are useful Indicators

of environmental conditions because 1) they are In contact with bottom sediments

(dredge spoils) 2) being relatively Immobile they may be either transported or

burled by dredge spoils and 3) they provide a critical link In the food chain

(Morton 1977)

Bottom trawl surveys sampling fishes and crabs at dredge sites can be

Important In determining what species use an area for migration spawning

rearing or feeding However dredging effects on fishes and crabs are

difficult to quantify because of the animals mobility contagious distribution

and ability to avoid disturbed habitats

Combined benthlc Invertebrate fish and crab surveys are especially

useful In Identifying both the diversity and structure of the benthlc community

and In distinguishing possible food-web linkages between Infauna and vaglle

eplfauna (fishes and crabs)

METHODS

Fish and Vagile Epifauna

Sampling was done with an 8-m semiballoon shrimp trawl having an overall

mesh size of 381 mm (stretch measure) a 127-mm mesh liner was inserted in the

cod end to ensure retention of smaller fish and invertebrates Fishing width of

the trawl was estimated to be about 5m A trawl tow of 10 min duration timed

from when the trawl reached bottom to the beginning of retrieval was made on

each of three depth contours mdash 20-fathom (37-m) 22-fathom (40-m) and 2kshy

fathom (44-m) (Fig 1) Position fixes and distance traveled were determined by

Loran-C (Appendix Table A)

Fish and Dungeness crab (Cancer magister) from each trawl catch were

identified and a subsample of 50 individuals of each species was measured (mm)

[total and standard lengths for fishes and carapace width (across the carapace

anterior to the 10th anterolateral spines) for crabs] and weighed (g) The

remainder of each species was counted and weighed as a group (Appendix Table B)

Benthlc Invertebrates and Sediments

Sampling was completed at 15 stations along three transects at the 20-raquo

22- and 2A-fathom contours (Fig 1) A 0096-m2 Gray-OHara box corer (Fig 2)

(Pequegnat et al 1981) was used to collect six samples at each station Three

of these were individually sieved through a QS-mm diameter mesh screen and the

residue containing the macro-invertebrates was placed in jars and preserved in a

buffered 5^ formaldehyde solution containing rose bengal (a protein stain) Of

the remaining three samples one was subsampled for sediment and two reserved

for possible future analysis Sediment grain size was determined by sieving and

organic content by burning for 1 h at 600deg C (Appendix Table C) Sediment

analysis was done by the COE sediment laboratory at Troutdale Oregon

At the NMFS field station in Hammond Oregon the benthic organisms were picked

from the preserved samples identified to the lowest possible taxonomic level

(usually species) and counted All specimens were placed in vials containing

705s ethyl alcohol and stored at Hammond

Data Analysis

Fish and Vagile Epifauna

Various computer programs on the Northwest and Alaska Fisheries Centers

(NWAFC) Burroughs (B7800)l^ computer were used to analyze the sampling data

Weight tray

Figure 2mdashBox corer (Gray-OHara modification of a standard box corer Pequegnat et al 1981) used for benthic invertebrate survey in Willapa Bay For deeper penetration in hard sediments weights can be attached to the shelves located on opposite sides

densities [numberhectare(ha)] were estimated using distance fishedj fishing

width of the trawl and catch data Descriptive summaries of each sample

effort include the following (1) a species list for each trawl (2) the number

and weight of fishes and crabs captured (total and by species) (3) numberha

(total and by species) (A) weight (gha) (total and by species) and (5) four

community structure indices [diversity index (H and SDV) species richness

(SR) and species evenness (J)]

Diversity was calculated for each trawl effort using the Shannon-Weaver

Diversity Index (Shannon and Weaver 1963)

S

H = - I Pilog2Pi ial

where H =gt Shannon-Weaver Diversity Index Pi = Xan (Xa is the number of

individuals of a particular species in a sample and n is the total number of

all individuals in the sample) and S raquo number of species

A second diversity index the Simpson Diversity Value (Simpson 19A9) was

also calculated for each trawl sample

S

SDV = 1 - H Pi2 i-1

Diversity values are sensitive to two components the number of species in

a sample (species richness) and the distribution of individuals among species

(evenness) (Lloyd and Ghelardi 196A) Species richness (SR) was estimated using

Margalefs formula (Margalef 1958)

SR = (S-1) ln(N)

where S = number of species and N = total number of individuals at the station

Species evenness was described using the Evenness Index (Pielou 1966)

J= H log2S

where J=laquo Evenness Indexgt H= Shannon-Weaver Diversity Index and S = number of

species-

Benthic Invertebrates

Benthic data were analyzed with the aid of a program on the NWAFC B7800

computer The three samples collected at each station were treated as

replicates enabling calculation of a mean numberm^ and a standard deviation

for each species- The program also calculated the number of species mean

number of invertebratessample and standard deviation and mean number

of invertebratesm^ and standard deviation The community structure indices

used in the trawling analyses were also calculated for the benthic

invertebrate data- Cluster analysis using the Bray-Curtis dissimilarity

index with a group averaging fusion strategy (Clifford and Stephenson 1975)

was used to identify station groupings that had similar species and densities-

A 0-5 dissimilarity value was considered a significant difference between

groups- The mean numberm^ (untransformed) for each species per station was

used in this analysis- Species which had mean densities lt10m^ were excluded

from the analysis to reduce the effect of rare species-

Sediments

Mean grain size (phi) percent silt-clay and percent organic matter were

calculated for each station (Appendix Table C) Within-area variability

tended to be low so no statistical analysis was performedshy

RESULTS

Fish and Vagile Epifauna

The three trawl tows captured 10394 fish represented by 15 species

(Appendix Tables D and E) Pacific tomcod (Microgadus proximus) was the

dominant species captured at all three stations accounting for 95diams45regof the

total catch (Table 1) Densities (numberha) decreased dramatically as depth

increased with a 93956 decrease in densities between Stations W-1 and W-2 and

an 84656 decrease between W-2 and W-3 Conversely diversity (H and SDV)

increased as depth increased because of the reduced numbers of Pacific tomcod

and whitebait smelt (Allosmerus elongatus) at the deeper stations This

condition made the number of species in the sample nonproportional to the

number of individuals within the species

Benthic Invertebrates

A total of 229 taxa (Appendix Table F) with a mean density of 16113m2

were identified at the Willapa Bay site (Table 2) Highest invertebrate

densities were found along the 20-fathom contour (25885m^) densities

gradually decreased at the 22- (15440m2) 24-fathom transects (7014m2)

The highest invertebrate density was 35045m^ at Station W-1-2bull Mean taxa

numbers ranged from 80 to 85 and were similar for all transects Diversity

values (H and SDV) showed a mild inverse relationship to Invertebrate

densities with some higher diversity values associated with lower

invertebrate densities- The mildness of the relationship was due to the

domination of Owenia fusiformis (Table 3) a tube-dwelling polychaete worm at

all stations except W-3-4 (0_^ fusiformis 805m2 mdash Spiophanes bombyx

l847m2) and W-3-5 (0 fusiformis l622m2 mdash Spiophanes bombyx l545m2)

The highest density of 0- fusiformis was 20986m^ at station W-1-2

Cluster analysis of the data revealed two strong cluster groups (Fig- 3)shy

A high invertebrate density group (18000 - 35000m2) represented by the

20-fathom transect stations plus the two northern 22-fathom transect stations-

A moderate density group (5000 - 12000m2) was represented by the three

southern 22-fathom transect stations and all but one station of the 24-fathom

transect The latter station W-3-2 did not fit into any cluster group

Sediments

The Willapa Bay sediments were primarily fine sand mean grain size was

377 phi (Appendix Table C) Samples were moderately high in silt-clay (mean

value 23A) and low in organic matter (mean value lTs)

DISCUSSION

Fish and Vagile Epifauna

The 1985 Willapa Bay study was designed primarily to obtain additional

information on the benthie infaunal communities in the area of the proposed

interim disposal site Trawl surveys provided a species list and relative

abundances of larger organisms in the study area However to adequately

describe the fish and crab fauna replicate samples should be taken from each

depth contour to ensure statistical validity

Theoretically maximum diversity exists where there are many species

each represented by one Individual and minimum diversity exists when all

individuals belong to one species neither situation exists in a natural

community Although Trawl 1 had the highest number of species diversity was

low due to the unbalanced proportion of Pacific tomcod and whitebait smelt

(Table 1) Without more data It Is difficult to speculate why such great

differences occurred among stations- Since the greatest numbers in Trawl 1

were due to Pacific tomcod which are epibenthic feeders it may be assumed

that they were near shore feeding on epibenthic prey

Benthic Invertebrates

The Willapa Bay benthic invertebrate community was high in both number of

taxa and density The dominant species was Owenia fusiformis The

distribution of this tube-dwelling worm was probably strongly affected by

sediment stability Oliver et al(1980) found tube-building polychaetes

abundant only in deeper water (gtA6 ft) where sediment disturbance due to wave

action is minimal Emmett et al(1987) in their September 198A survey off

Tillamook Bay found low densities of 0^^ fusiformis at 60 ft with highest

densities at 80 and 90 ft The Willapa Bay survey transects began at the 20shy

fathom depth contour and showed species and densities similar to the high

density samples off Tillamook Bay High densities of 0 fusiformis were also

found off Grays Harbor Washington (Pearson et al 1985) adjacent to and

north of Willapa Bay

Tillamook Bay Willapa Bay and Grays Harbor estuaries have extensive mud

flats with macroalgae and eelgrass Trawl tows at the Tillamook Bay and

Willapa Bay interim offshore disposal sites collected large amounts of

estuarine macroalgae Perhaps the export of these estuarine materials

enhances the nearshore benthic community The densities of benthic

invertebrates adjacent to these three estuaries are much higher than typically

found in the Oregon-Washington nearshore environment (Lie and Klsker 1970

Hancock et albull 198A Emmett et al 1987) They may represent unique marine

benthic communities linked to adjacent estuarine primary productionshy

16

Sediments

Sediments were typical of nearshore environments that are exposed to

waves and ocean swells (Fager 1968) Although sediments have a significant

effect on the distribution and abundance of benthic invertebrates (Gary 1965)

wave disturbance also plays an important role in determining the nearshore

benthic invertebrate community (Oliver et al 1980) Since invertebrate

densities at Willapa and Tillamook bays were much greater than those found at

other disposal sites along the Oregon coast and sediment structure was similar

(Emmett et al- 1987) sediment characteristics alone probably do not provide

enough information to predict either the benthic invertebrate community or

densities along the Oregon-Washington coast

SUMMARY

The Willapa Bay interim disposal site trawl-samples enabled a listing of

the larger benthic organisms and their relative abundances within the study

area However to adequately describe the fish and crab fauna replicate

samples should be taken from each depth contour to ensure statistical

validity

The benthic invertebrate community was high in both number of species and

densities of individuals The dominant species was the tube-dwelling worm

Owenia fusiformis Benthic invertebrate densities were much higher than

typically found in the Washington-Oregon nearshore environment

Sediments were typical of Washington-Oregon nearshore environments that

are exposed to waves and ocean swells Sediments were composed of clean fine

sands with moderate amounts of silt-clay and low amounts of organic matter

The density of benthic invertebrates off Willapa Bay resembled those off

the adjacent Grays Harbor Washington and off Tillamook Bay Oregon These

17

three estuaries have extensive mud flats with macroalgae and eelgrasS- The

cause of the high invertebrate densities is unknown but the contribution of

primary production from the adjacent estuary is a probable factor The areal

extent of the high Invertebrate densities off Willapa Bay Grays Harbor and

Tillaraook Bay is not known and should be defined We recommend that these

areas not be used for the disposal of dredged materials until after more

intensive studies and then only if it can be shown that there are no severe

impacts to the estuarine and marine fisheries

INTRODUCTION

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U Slaquo Army Corps of

Engineers (COE) are responsible for designating and managing ocean dredged

material disposal sites under the Marine Protection Research and Sanctuaries

Act (MPRSA) of 1972 (P L- 92-532 called the Ocean Dumping Act) The MPRSA

was passed in recognition that the disposal of wastes into ocean waters could

potentially adversely affect the environment and MPRSA requires that such

disposal occur only at designated sites The EPA requires that site

designations be based on 1) environmental studies at each site and 2) historical

information on the impact of dredged material disposal on areas similar to such

sites in physical chemical and biological characteristics

Within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration the National

Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has the primary Federal responsibility for the

conservation management and development of the Nations fishery resources

under the Fishery Conservation and Management Act P L 9^-265 The NMFS

Habitat Conservation Policy recognizes that healthy marine estuarine and

anadromous fish habitats are essential to maintaining the Nation s fisheries

Under this policy the NMFS has been cooperating with the EPA and COE in

evaluating interim offshore dredge disposal sites in Oregon and Washington

In July 1985 the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) entered into a

cooperative agreement with the EPA and the Seattle District COE to conduct an

ecological survey at a proposed interim dredge disposal site off Wiliapa Bay

Washington between 30 July and 1 August 1985- Previous studies at the proposed

site (10-15 fathoms) by Simons (198A) and Shapiro and Associates Inc (1985)

indicated high benthic invertebrate densities similar to those found off

Tlllamook Bayj Oregon (gt70000 organismsm^) at 10-20 fathoms by Emmett et albull

(1987) As a result EPA requested additional benthlc Invertebrate sampling

prior to final site designation However the Wlllapa Bay Interim disposal site

was subsequently moved to deeper water (10-2A fathoms) because of the Intensive

commercial crab fishery at the original site and It was at this new site that

our sampling took place

Benthlc Invertebrate communities are commonly monitored during

environmental assessment surveys Benthlc Invertebrates are useful Indicators

of environmental conditions because 1) they are In contact with bottom sediments

(dredge spoils) 2) being relatively Immobile they may be either transported or

burled by dredge spoils and 3) they provide a critical link In the food chain

(Morton 1977)

Bottom trawl surveys sampling fishes and crabs at dredge sites can be

Important In determining what species use an area for migration spawning

rearing or feeding However dredging effects on fishes and crabs are

difficult to quantify because of the animals mobility contagious distribution

and ability to avoid disturbed habitats

Combined benthlc Invertebrate fish and crab surveys are especially

useful In Identifying both the diversity and structure of the benthlc community

and In distinguishing possible food-web linkages between Infauna and vaglle

eplfauna (fishes and crabs)

METHODS

Fish and Vagile Epifauna

Sampling was done with an 8-m semiballoon shrimp trawl having an overall

mesh size of 381 mm (stretch measure) a 127-mm mesh liner was inserted in the

cod end to ensure retention of smaller fish and invertebrates Fishing width of

the trawl was estimated to be about 5m A trawl tow of 10 min duration timed

from when the trawl reached bottom to the beginning of retrieval was made on

each of three depth contours mdash 20-fathom (37-m) 22-fathom (40-m) and 2kshy

fathom (44-m) (Fig 1) Position fixes and distance traveled were determined by

Loran-C (Appendix Table A)

Fish and Dungeness crab (Cancer magister) from each trawl catch were

identified and a subsample of 50 individuals of each species was measured (mm)

[total and standard lengths for fishes and carapace width (across the carapace

anterior to the 10th anterolateral spines) for crabs] and weighed (g) The

remainder of each species was counted and weighed as a group (Appendix Table B)

Benthlc Invertebrates and Sediments

Sampling was completed at 15 stations along three transects at the 20-raquo

22- and 2A-fathom contours (Fig 1) A 0096-m2 Gray-OHara box corer (Fig 2)

(Pequegnat et al 1981) was used to collect six samples at each station Three

of these were individually sieved through a QS-mm diameter mesh screen and the

residue containing the macro-invertebrates was placed in jars and preserved in a

buffered 5^ formaldehyde solution containing rose bengal (a protein stain) Of

the remaining three samples one was subsampled for sediment and two reserved

for possible future analysis Sediment grain size was determined by sieving and

organic content by burning for 1 h at 600deg C (Appendix Table C) Sediment

analysis was done by the COE sediment laboratory at Troutdale Oregon

At the NMFS field station in Hammond Oregon the benthic organisms were picked

from the preserved samples identified to the lowest possible taxonomic level

(usually species) and counted All specimens were placed in vials containing

705s ethyl alcohol and stored at Hammond

Data Analysis

Figure 2mdashBox corer (Gray-OHara modification of a standard box corer Pequegnat et al 1981) used for benthic invertebrate survey in Willapa Bay For deeper penetration in hard sediments weights can be attached to the shelves located on opposite sides

densities [numberhectare(ha)] were estimated using distance fishedj fishing

width of the trawl and catch data Descriptive summaries of each sample

effort include the following (1) a species list for each trawl (2) the number

and weight of fishes and crabs captured (total and by species) (3) numberha

(total and by species) (A) weight (gha) (total and by species) and (5) four

community structure indices [diversity index (H and SDV) species richness

(SR) and species evenness (J)]

Diversity was calculated for each trawl effort using the Shannon-Weaver

Diversity Index (Shannon and Weaver 1963)

S

H = - I Pilog2Pi ial

where H =gt Shannon-Weaver Diversity Index Pi = Xan (Xa is the number of

individuals of a particular species in a sample and n is the total number of

all individuals in the sample) and S raquo number of species

A second diversity index the Simpson Diversity Value (Simpson 19A9) was

also calculated for each trawl sample

S

SDV = 1 - H Pi2 i-1

Diversity values are sensitive to two components the number of species in

a sample (species richness) and the distribution of individuals among species

(evenness) (Lloyd and Ghelardi 196A) Species richness (SR) was estimated using

Margalefs formula (Margalef 1958)

SR = (S-1) ln(N)

where S = number of species and N = total number of individuals at the station

Species evenness was described using the Evenness Index (Pielou 1966)

J= H log2S

where J=laquo Evenness Indexgt H= Shannon-Weaver Diversity Index and S = number of

species-

Benthic Invertebrates

Benthic data were analyzed with the aid of a program on the NWAFC B7800

computer The three samples collected at each station were treated as

replicates enabling calculation of a mean numberm^ and a standard deviation

for each species- The program also calculated the number of species mean

number of invertebratessample and standard deviation and mean number

of invertebratesm^ and standard deviation The community structure indices

used in the trawling analyses were also calculated for the benthic

invertebrate data- Cluster analysis using the Bray-Curtis dissimilarity

index with a group averaging fusion strategy (Clifford and Stephenson 1975)

was used to identify station groupings that had similar species and densities-

A 0-5 dissimilarity value was considered a significant difference between

groups- The mean numberm^ (untransformed) for each species per station was

used in this analysis- Species which had mean densities lt10m^ were excluded

from the analysis to reduce the effect of rare species-

Sediments

Mean grain size (phi) percent silt-clay and percent organic matter were

calculated for each station (Appendix Table C) Within-area variability

tended to be low so no statistical analysis was performedshy

RESULTS

Fish and Vagile Epifauna

The three trawl tows captured 10394 fish represented by 15 species

(Appendix Tables D and E) Pacific tomcod (Microgadus proximus) was the

dominant species captured at all three stations accounting for 95diams45regof the

total catch (Table 1) Densities (numberha) decreased dramatically as depth

increased with a 93956 decrease in densities between Stations W-1 and W-2 and

an 84656 decrease between W-2 and W-3 Conversely diversity (H and SDV)

increased as depth increased because of the reduced numbers of Pacific tomcod

and whitebait smelt (Allosmerus elongatus) at the deeper stations This

condition made the number of species in the sample nonproportional to the

number of individuals within the species

Benthic Invertebrates

A total of 229 taxa (Appendix Table F) with a mean density of 16113m2

were identified at the Willapa Bay site (Table 2) Highest invertebrate

densities were found along the 20-fathom contour (25885m^) densities

gradually decreased at the 22- (15440m2) 24-fathom transects (7014m2)

The highest invertebrate density was 35045m^ at Station W-1-2bull Mean taxa

numbers ranged from 80 to 85 and were similar for all transects Diversity

values (H and SDV) showed a mild inverse relationship to Invertebrate

densities with some higher diversity values associated with lower

invertebrate densities- The mildness of the relationship was due to the

domination of Owenia fusiformis (Table 3) a tube-dwelling polychaete worm at

all stations except W-3-4 (0_^ fusiformis 805m2 mdash Spiophanes bombyx

l847m2) and W-3-5 (0 fusiformis l622m2 mdash Spiophanes bombyx l545m2)

The highest density of 0- fusiformis was 20986m^ at station W-1-2

Cluster analysis of the data revealed two strong cluster groups (Fig- 3)shy

A high invertebrate density group (18000 - 35000m2) represented by the

20-fathom transect stations plus the two northern 22-fathom transect stations-

A moderate density group (5000 - 12000m2) was represented by the three

southern 22-fathom transect stations and all but one station of the 24-fathom

transect The latter station W-3-2 did not fit into any cluster group

Sediments

The Willapa Bay sediments were primarily fine sand mean grain size was

377 phi (Appendix Table C) Samples were moderately high in silt-clay (mean

value 23A) and low in organic matter (mean value lTs)

DISCUSSION

Fish and Vagile Epifauna

The 1985 Willapa Bay study was designed primarily to obtain additional

information on the benthie infaunal communities in the area of the proposed

interim disposal site Trawl surveys provided a species list and relative

abundances of larger organisms in the study area However to adequately

describe the fish and crab fauna replicate samples should be taken from each

depth contour to ensure statistical validity

Theoretically maximum diversity exists where there are many species

each represented by one Individual and minimum diversity exists when all

individuals belong to one species neither situation exists in a natural

community Although Trawl 1 had the highest number of species diversity was

low due to the unbalanced proportion of Pacific tomcod and whitebait smelt

(Table 1) Without more data It Is difficult to speculate why such great

differences occurred among stations- Since the greatest numbers in Trawl 1

were due to Pacific tomcod which are epibenthic feeders it may be assumed

that they were near shore feeding on epibenthic prey

Benthic Invertebrates

The Willapa Bay benthic invertebrate community was high in both number of

taxa and density The dominant species was Owenia fusiformis The

distribution of this tube-dwelling worm was probably strongly affected by

sediment stability Oliver et al(1980) found tube-building polychaetes

abundant only in deeper water (gtA6 ft) where sediment disturbance due to wave

action is minimal Emmett et al(1987) in their September 198A survey off

Tillamook Bay found low densities of 0^^ fusiformis at 60 ft with highest

densities at 80 and 90 ft The Willapa Bay survey transects began at the 20shy

fathom depth contour and showed species and densities similar to the high

density samples off Tillamook Bay High densities of 0 fusiformis were also

found off Grays Harbor Washington (Pearson et al 1985) adjacent to and

north of Willapa Bay

Tillamook Bay Willapa Bay and Grays Harbor estuaries have extensive mud

flats with macroalgae and eelgrass Trawl tows at the Tillamook Bay and

Willapa Bay interim offshore disposal sites collected large amounts of

estuarine macroalgae Perhaps the export of these estuarine materials

enhances the nearshore benthic community The densities of benthic

invertebrates adjacent to these three estuaries are much higher than typically

found in the Oregon-Washington nearshore environment (Lie and Klsker 1970

Hancock et albull 198A Emmett et al 1987) They may represent unique marine

benthic communities linked to adjacent estuarine primary productionshy

16

Sediments

Sediments were typical of nearshore environments that are exposed to

waves and ocean swells (Fager 1968) Although sediments have a significant

effect on the distribution and abundance of benthic invertebrates (Gary 1965)

wave disturbance also plays an important role in determining the nearshore

benthic invertebrate community (Oliver et al 1980) Since invertebrate

densities at Willapa and Tillamook bays were much greater than those found at

other disposal sites along the Oregon coast and sediment structure was similar

(Emmett et al- 1987) sediment characteristics alone probably do not provide

enough information to predict either the benthic invertebrate community or

densities along the Oregon-Washington coast

SUMMARY

The Willapa Bay interim disposal site trawl-samples enabled a listing of

the larger benthic organisms and their relative abundances within the study

area However to adequately describe the fish and crab fauna replicate

samples should be taken from each depth contour to ensure statistical

validity

The benthic invertebrate community was high in both number of species and

densities of individuals The dominant species was the tube-dwelling worm

Owenia fusiformis Benthic invertebrate densities were much higher than

typically found in the Washington-Oregon nearshore environment

Sediments were typical of Washington-Oregon nearshore environments that

are exposed to waves and ocean swells Sediments were composed of clean fine

sands with moderate amounts of silt-clay and low amounts of organic matter

The density of benthic invertebrates off Willapa Bay resembled those off

the adjacent Grays Harbor Washington and off Tillamook Bay Oregon These

17

three estuaries have extensive mud flats with macroalgae and eelgrasS- The

cause of the high invertebrate densities is unknown but the contribution of

primary production from the adjacent estuary is a probable factor The areal

extent of the high Invertebrate densities off Willapa Bay Grays Harbor and

Tillaraook Bay is not known and should be defined We recommend that these

areas not be used for the disposal of dredged materials until after more

intensive studies and then only if it can be shown that there are no severe

impacts to the estuarine and marine fisheries

INTRODUCTION

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U Slaquo Army Corps of

Engineers (COE) are responsible for designating and managing ocean dredged

material disposal sites under the Marine Protection Research and Sanctuaries

Act (MPRSA) of 1972 (P L- 92-532 called the Ocean Dumping Act) The MPRSA

was passed in recognition that the disposal of wastes into ocean waters could

potentially adversely affect the environment and MPRSA requires that such

disposal occur only at designated sites The EPA requires that site

designations be based on 1) environmental studies at each site and 2) historical

information on the impact of dredged material disposal on areas similar to such

sites in physical chemical and biological characteristics

Within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration the National

Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has the primary Federal responsibility for the

conservation management and development of the Nations fishery resources

under the Fishery Conservation and Management Act P L 9^-265 The NMFS

Habitat Conservation Policy recognizes that healthy marine estuarine and

anadromous fish habitats are essential to maintaining the Nation s fisheries

Under this policy the NMFS has been cooperating with the EPA and COE in

evaluating interim offshore dredge disposal sites in Oregon and Washington

In July 1985 the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) entered into a

cooperative agreement with the EPA and the Seattle District COE to conduct an

ecological survey at a proposed interim dredge disposal site off Wiliapa Bay

Washington between 30 July and 1 August 1985- Previous studies at the proposed

site (10-15 fathoms) by Simons (198A) and Shapiro and Associates Inc (1985)

indicated high benthic invertebrate densities similar to those found off

Tlllamook Bayj Oregon (gt70000 organismsm^) at 10-20 fathoms by Emmett et albull

(1987) As a result EPA requested additional benthlc Invertebrate sampling

prior to final site designation However the Wlllapa Bay Interim disposal site

was subsequently moved to deeper water (10-2A fathoms) because of the Intensive

commercial crab fishery at the original site and It was at this new site that

our sampling took place

Benthlc Invertebrate communities are commonly monitored during

environmental assessment surveys Benthlc Invertebrates are useful Indicators

of environmental conditions because 1) they are In contact with bottom sediments

(dredge spoils) 2) being relatively Immobile they may be either transported or

burled by dredge spoils and 3) they provide a critical link In the food chain

(Morton 1977)

Bottom trawl surveys sampling fishes and crabs at dredge sites can be

Important In determining what species use an area for migration spawning

rearing or feeding However dredging effects on fishes and crabs are

difficult to quantify because of the animals mobility contagious distribution

and ability to avoid disturbed habitats

Combined benthlc Invertebrate fish and crab surveys are especially

useful In Identifying both the diversity and structure of the benthlc community

and In distinguishing possible food-web linkages between Infauna and vaglle

eplfauna (fishes and crabs)

METHODS

Fish and Vagile Epifauna

Sampling was done with an 8-m semiballoon shrimp trawl having an overall

mesh size of 381 mm (stretch measure) a 127-mm mesh liner was inserted in the

cod end to ensure retention of smaller fish and invertebrates Fishing width of

the trawl was estimated to be about 5m A trawl tow of 10 min duration timed

from when the trawl reached bottom to the beginning of retrieval was made on

each of three depth contours mdash 20-fathom (37-m) 22-fathom (40-m) and 2kshy

fathom (44-m) (Fig 1) Position fixes and distance traveled were determined by

Loran-C (Appendix Table A)

Fish and Dungeness crab (Cancer magister) from each trawl catch were

identified and a subsample of 50 individuals of each species was measured (mm)

[total and standard lengths for fishes and carapace width (across the carapace

anterior to the 10th anterolateral spines) for crabs] and weighed (g) The

remainder of each species was counted and weighed as a group (Appendix Table B)

Benthlc Invertebrates and Sediments

Sampling was completed at 15 stations along three transects at the 20-raquo

22- and 2A-fathom contours (Fig 1) A 0096-m2 Gray-OHara box corer (Fig 2)

(Pequegnat et al 1981) was used to collect six samples at each station Three

of these were individually sieved through a QS-mm diameter mesh screen and the

residue containing the macro-invertebrates was placed in jars and preserved in a

buffered 5^ formaldehyde solution containing rose bengal (a protein stain) Of

the remaining three samples one was subsampled for sediment and two reserved

for possible future analysis Sediment grain size was determined by sieving and

organic content by burning for 1 h at 600deg C (Appendix Table C) Sediment

analysis was done by the COE sediment laboratory at Troutdale Oregon

At the NMFS field station in Hammond Oregon the benthic organisms were picked

from the preserved samples identified to the lowest possible taxonomic level

(usually species) and counted All specimens were placed in vials containing

705s ethyl alcohol and stored at Hammond

Data Analysis

Fish and Vagile Epifauna

Various computer programs on the Northwest and Alaska Fisheries Centers

Figure 2mdashBox corer (Gray-OHara modification of a standard box corer Pequegnat et al 1981) used for benthic invertebrate survey in Willapa Bay For deeper penetration in hard sediments weights can be attached to the shelves located on opposite sides

densities [numberhectare(ha)] were estimated using distance fishedj fishing

width of the trawl and catch data Descriptive summaries of each sample

effort include the following (1) a species list for each trawl (2) the number

and weight of fishes and crabs captured (total and by species) (3) numberha

(total and by species) (A) weight (gha) (total and by species) and (5) four

community structure indices [diversity index (H and SDV) species richness

(SR) and species evenness (J)]

Diversity was calculated for each trawl effort using the Shannon-Weaver

Diversity Index (Shannon and Weaver 1963)

S

H = - I Pilog2Pi ial

where H =gt Shannon-Weaver Diversity Index Pi = Xan (Xa is the number of

individuals of a particular species in a sample and n is the total number of

all individuals in the sample) and S raquo number of species

A second diversity index the Simpson Diversity Value (Simpson 19A9) was

also calculated for each trawl sample

S

SDV = 1 - H Pi2 i-1

Diversity values are sensitive to two components the number of species in

a sample (species richness) and the distribution of individuals among species

(evenness) (Lloyd and Ghelardi 196A) Species richness (SR) was estimated using

Margalefs formula (Margalef 1958)

SR = (S-1) ln(N)

where S = number of species and N = total number of individuals at the station

Species evenness was described using the Evenness Index (Pielou 1966)

J= H log2S

where J=laquo Evenness Indexgt H= Shannon-Weaver Diversity Index and S = number of

species-

Benthic Invertebrates

Benthic data were analyzed with the aid of a program on the NWAFC B7800

computer The three samples collected at each station were treated as

replicates enabling calculation of a mean numberm^ and a standard deviation

for each species- The program also calculated the number of species mean

number of invertebratessample and standard deviation and mean number

of invertebratesm^ and standard deviation The community structure indices

used in the trawling analyses were also calculated for the benthic

invertebrate data- Cluster analysis using the Bray-Curtis dissimilarity

index with a group averaging fusion strategy (Clifford and Stephenson 1975)

was used to identify station groupings that had similar species and densities-

A 0-5 dissimilarity value was considered a significant difference between

groups- The mean numberm^ (untransformed) for each species per station was

used in this analysis- Species which had mean densities lt10m^ were excluded

from the analysis to reduce the effect of rare species-

Sediments

Mean grain size (phi) percent silt-clay and percent organic matter were

calculated for each station (Appendix Table C) Within-area variability

tended to be low so no statistical analysis was performedshy

RESULTS

Fish and Vagile Epifauna

The three trawl tows captured 10394 fish represented by 15 species

(Appendix Tables D and E) Pacific tomcod (Microgadus proximus) was the

dominant species captured at all three stations accounting for 95diams45regof the

total catch (Table 1) Densities (numberha) decreased dramatically as depth

increased with a 93956 decrease in densities between Stations W-1 and W-2 and

an 84656 decrease between W-2 and W-3 Conversely diversity (H and SDV)

increased as depth increased because of the reduced numbers of Pacific tomcod

and whitebait smelt (Allosmerus elongatus) at the deeper stations This

condition made the number of species in the sample nonproportional to the

number of individuals within the species

Benthic Invertebrates

A total of 229 taxa (Appendix Table F) with a mean density of 16113m2

were identified at the Willapa Bay site (Table 2) Highest invertebrate

densities were found along the 20-fathom contour (25885m^) densities

gradually decreased at the 22- (15440m2) 24-fathom transects (7014m2)

The highest invertebrate density was 35045m^ at Station W-1-2bull Mean taxa

numbers ranged from 80 to 85 and were similar for all transects Diversity

values (H and SDV) showed a mild inverse relationship to Invertebrate

densities with some higher diversity values associated with lower

invertebrate densities- The mildness of the relationship was due to the

domination of Owenia fusiformis (Table 3) a tube-dwelling polychaete worm at

all stations except W-3-4 (0_^ fusiformis 805m2 mdash Spiophanes bombyx

l847m2) and W-3-5 (0 fusiformis l622m2 mdash Spiophanes bombyx l545m2)

The highest density of 0- fusiformis was 20986m^ at station W-1-2

Cluster analysis of the data revealed two strong cluster groups (Fig- 3)shy

A high invertebrate density group (18000 - 35000m2) represented by the

20-fathom transect stations plus the two northern 22-fathom transect stations-

A moderate density group (5000 - 12000m2) was represented by the three

southern 22-fathom transect stations and all but one station of the 24-fathom

transect The latter station W-3-2 did not fit into any cluster group

Sediments

The Willapa Bay sediments were primarily fine sand mean grain size was

377 phi (Appendix Table C) Samples were moderately high in silt-clay (mean

value 23A) and low in organic matter (mean value lTs)

DISCUSSION

Fish and Vagile Epifauna

The 1985 Willapa Bay study was designed primarily to obtain additional

information on the benthie infaunal communities in the area of the proposed

interim disposal site Trawl surveys provided a species list and relative

abundances of larger organisms in the study area However to adequately

describe the fish and crab fauna replicate samples should be taken from each

depth contour to ensure statistical validity

Theoretically maximum diversity exists where there are many species

each represented by one Individual and minimum diversity exists when all

individuals belong to one species neither situation exists in a natural

community Although Trawl 1 had the highest number of species diversity was

low due to the unbalanced proportion of Pacific tomcod and whitebait smelt

(Table 1) Without more data It Is difficult to speculate why such great

differences occurred among stations- Since the greatest numbers in Trawl 1

were due to Pacific tomcod which are epibenthic feeders it may be assumed

that they were near shore feeding on epibenthic prey

Benthic Invertebrates

The Willapa Bay benthic invertebrate community was high in both number of

taxa and density The dominant species was Owenia fusiformis The

distribution of this tube-dwelling worm was probably strongly affected by

sediment stability Oliver et al(1980) found tube-building polychaetes

abundant only in deeper water (gtA6 ft) where sediment disturbance due to wave

action is minimal Emmett et al(1987) in their September 198A survey off

Tillamook Bay found low densities of 0^^ fusiformis at 60 ft with highest

densities at 80 and 90 ft The Willapa Bay survey transects began at the 20shy

fathom depth contour and showed species and densities similar to the high

density samples off Tillamook Bay High densities of 0 fusiformis were also

found off Grays Harbor Washington (Pearson et al 1985) adjacent to and

north of Willapa Bay

Tillamook Bay Willapa Bay and Grays Harbor estuaries have extensive mud

flats with macroalgae and eelgrass Trawl tows at the Tillamook Bay and

Willapa Bay interim offshore disposal sites collected large amounts of

estuarine macroalgae Perhaps the export of these estuarine materials

enhances the nearshore benthic community The densities of benthic

invertebrates adjacent to these three estuaries are much higher than typically

found in the Oregon-Washington nearshore environment (Lie and Klsker 1970

Hancock et albull 198A Emmett et al 1987) They may represent unique marine

benthic communities linked to adjacent estuarine primary productionshy

16

Sediments

Sediments were typical of nearshore environments that are exposed to

waves and ocean swells (Fager 1968) Although sediments have a significant

effect on the distribution and abundance of benthic invertebrates (Gary 1965)

wave disturbance also plays an important role in determining the nearshore

benthic invertebrate community (Oliver et al 1980) Since invertebrate

densities at Willapa and Tillamook bays were much greater than those found at

other disposal sites along the Oregon coast and sediment structure was similar

(Emmett et al- 1987) sediment characteristics alone probably do not provide

enough information to predict either the benthic invertebrate community or

densities along the Oregon-Washington coast

SUMMARY

The Willapa Bay interim disposal site trawl-samples enabled a listing of

the larger benthic organisms and their relative abundances within the study

area However to adequately describe the fish and crab fauna replicate

samples should be taken from each depth contour to ensure statistical

validity

The benthic invertebrate community was high in both number of species and

densities of individuals The dominant species was the tube-dwelling worm

Owenia fusiformis Benthic invertebrate densities were much higher than

typically found in the Washington-Oregon nearshore environment

Sediments were typical of Washington-Oregon nearshore environments that

are exposed to waves and ocean swells Sediments were composed of clean fine

sands with moderate amounts of silt-clay and low amounts of organic matter

The density of benthic invertebrates off Willapa Bay resembled those off

the adjacent Grays Harbor Washington and off Tillamook Bay Oregon These

17

three estuaries have extensive mud flats with macroalgae and eelgrasS- The

cause of the high invertebrate densities is unknown but the contribution of

primary production from the adjacent estuary is a probable factor The areal

extent of the high Invertebrate densities off Willapa Bay Grays Harbor and

Tillaraook Bay is not known and should be defined We recommend that these

areas not be used for the disposal of dredged materials until after more

intensive studies and then only if it can be shown that there are no severe

impacts to the estuarine and marine fisheries

INTRODUCTION

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U Slaquo Army Corps of

Engineers (COE) are responsible for designating and managing ocean dredged

material disposal sites under the Marine Protection Research and Sanctuaries

Act (MPRSA) of 1972 (P L- 92-532 called the Ocean Dumping Act) The MPRSA

was passed in recognition that the disposal of wastes into ocean waters could

potentially adversely affect the environment and MPRSA requires that such

disposal occur only at designated sites The EPA requires that site

designations be based on 1) environmental studies at each site and 2) historical

information on the impact of dredged material disposal on areas similar to such

sites in physical chemical and biological characteristics

Within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration the National

Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has the primary Federal responsibility for the

conservation management and development of the Nations fishery resources

under the Fishery Conservation and Management Act P L 9^-265 The NMFS

Habitat Conservation Policy recognizes that healthy marine estuarine and

anadromous fish habitats are essential to maintaining the Nation s fisheries

Under this policy the NMFS has been cooperating with the EPA and COE in

evaluating interim offshore dredge disposal sites in Oregon and Washington

In July 1985 the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) entered into a

cooperative agreement with the EPA and the Seattle District COE to conduct an

ecological survey at a proposed interim dredge disposal site off Wiliapa Bay

Washington between 30 July and 1 August 1985- Previous studies at the proposed

site (10-15 fathoms) by Simons (198A) and Shapiro and Associates Inc (1985)

indicated high benthic invertebrate densities similar to those found off

Tlllamook Bayj Oregon (gt70000 organismsm^) at 10-20 fathoms by Emmett et albull

(1987) As a result EPA requested additional benthlc Invertebrate sampling

prior to final site designation However the Wlllapa Bay Interim disposal site

was subsequently moved to deeper water (10-2A fathoms) because of the Intensive

commercial crab fishery at the original site and It was at this new site that

our sampling took place

Benthlc Invertebrate communities are commonly monitored during

environmental assessment surveys Benthlc Invertebrates are useful Indicators

of environmental conditions because 1) they are In contact with bottom sediments

(dredge spoils) 2) being relatively Immobile they may be either transported or

burled by dredge spoils and 3) they provide a critical link In the food chain

(Morton 1977)

Bottom trawl surveys sampling fishes and crabs at dredge sites can be

Important In determining what species use an area for migration spawning

rearing or feeding However dredging effects on fishes and crabs are

difficult to quantify because of the animals mobility contagious distribution

and ability to avoid disturbed habitats

Combined benthlc Invertebrate fish and crab surveys are especially

useful In Identifying both the diversity and structure of the benthlc community

and In distinguishing possible food-web linkages between Infauna and vaglle

eplfauna (fishes and crabs)

METHODS

Fish and Vagile Epifauna

Sampling was done with an 8-m semiballoon shrimp trawl having an overall

mesh size of 381 mm (stretch measure) a 127-mm mesh liner was inserted in the

cod end to ensure retention of smaller fish and invertebrates Fishing width of

the trawl was estimated to be about 5m A trawl tow of 10 min duration timed

from when the trawl reached bottom to the beginning of retrieval was made on

each of three depth contours mdash 20-fathom (37-m) 22-fathom (40-m) and 2kshy

fathom (44-m) (Fig 1) Position fixes and distance traveled were determined by

Loran-C (Appendix Table A)

Fish and Dungeness crab (Cancer magister) from each trawl catch were

identified and a subsample of 50 individuals of each species was measured (mm)

[total and standard lengths for fishes and carapace width (across the carapace

anterior to the 10th anterolateral spines) for crabs] and weighed (g) The

remainder of each species was counted and weighed as a group (Appendix Table B)

Benthlc Invertebrates and Sediments

Sampling was completed at 15 stations along three transects at the 20-raquo

22- and 2A-fathom contours (Fig 1) A 0096-m2 Gray-OHara box corer (Fig 2)

(Pequegnat et al 1981) was used to collect six samples at each station Three

of these were individually sieved through a QS-mm diameter mesh screen and the

residue containing the macro-invertebrates was placed in jars and preserved in a

buffered 5^ formaldehyde solution containing rose bengal (a protein stain) Of

the remaining three samples one was subsampled for sediment and two reserved

for possible future analysis Sediment grain size was determined by sieving and

organic content by burning for 1 h at 600deg C (Appendix Table C) Sediment

analysis was done by the COE sediment laboratory at Troutdale Oregon

At the NMFS field station in Hammond Oregon the benthic organisms were picked

from the preserved samples identified to the lowest possible taxonomic level

(usually species) and counted All specimens were placed in vials containing

705s ethyl alcohol and stored at Hammond

Data Analysis

Figure 2mdashBox corer (Gray-OHara modification of a standard box corer Pequegnat et al 1981) used for benthic invertebrate survey in Willapa Bay For deeper penetration in hard sediments weights can be attached to the shelves located on opposite sides

densities [numberhectare(ha)] were estimated using distance fishedj fishing

width of the trawl and catch data Descriptive summaries of each sample

effort include the following (1) a species list for each trawl (2) the number

and weight of fishes and crabs captured (total and by species) (3) numberha

(total and by species) (A) weight (gha) (total and by species) and (5) four

community structure indices [diversity index (H and SDV) species richness

(SR) and species evenness (J)]

Diversity was calculated for each trawl effort using the Shannon-Weaver

Diversity Index (Shannon and Weaver 1963)

S

H = - I Pilog2Pi ial

where H =gt Shannon-Weaver Diversity Index Pi = Xan (Xa is the number of

individuals of a particular species in a sample and n is the total number of

all individuals in the sample) and S raquo number of species

A second diversity index the Simpson Diversity Value (Simpson 19A9) was

also calculated for each trawl sample

S

SDV = 1 - H Pi2 i-1

Diversity values are sensitive to two components the number of species in

a sample (species richness) and the distribution of individuals among species

(evenness) (Lloyd and Ghelardi 196A) Species richness (SR) was estimated using

Margalefs formula (Margalef 1958)

SR = (S-1) ln(N)

where S = number of species and N = total number of individuals at the station

Species evenness was described using the Evenness Index (Pielou 1966)

J= H log2S

where J=laquo Evenness Indexgt H= Shannon-Weaver Diversity Index and S = number of

species-

Benthic Invertebrates

Benthic data were analyzed with the aid of a program on the NWAFC B7800

computer The three samples collected at each station were treated as

replicates enabling calculation of a mean numberm^ and a standard deviation

for each species- The program also calculated the number of species mean

number of invertebratessample and standard deviation and mean number

of invertebratesm^ and standard deviation The community structure indices

used in the trawling analyses were also calculated for the benthic

invertebrate data- Cluster analysis using the Bray-Curtis dissimilarity

index with a group averaging fusion strategy (Clifford and Stephenson 1975)

was used to identify station groupings that had similar species and densities-

A 0-5 dissimilarity value was considered a significant difference between

groups- The mean numberm^ (untransformed) for each species per station was

used in this analysis- Species which had mean densities lt10m^ were excluded

from the analysis to reduce the effect of rare species-

Sediments

Mean grain size (phi) percent silt-clay and percent organic matter were

calculated for each station (Appendix Table C) Within-area variability

tended to be low so no statistical analysis was performedshy

RESULTS

Fish and Vagile Epifauna

The three trawl tows captured 10394 fish represented by 15 species

(Appendix Tables D and E) Pacific tomcod (Microgadus proximus) was the

dominant species captured at all three stations accounting for 95diams45regof the

total catch (Table 1) Densities (numberha) decreased dramatically as depth

increased with a 93956 decrease in densities between Stations W-1 and W-2 and

an 84656 decrease between W-2 and W-3 Conversely diversity (H and SDV)

increased as depth increased because of the reduced numbers of Pacific tomcod

and whitebait smelt (Allosmerus elongatus) at the deeper stations This

condition made the number of species in the sample nonproportional to the

number of individuals within the species

Benthic Invertebrates

A total of 229 taxa (Appendix Table F) with a mean density of 16113m2

were identified at the Willapa Bay site (Table 2) Highest invertebrate

densities were found along the 20-fathom contour (25885m^) densities

gradually decreased at the 22- (15440m2) 24-fathom transects (7014m2)

The highest invertebrate density was 35045m^ at Station W-1-2bull Mean taxa

numbers ranged from 80 to 85 and were similar for all transects Diversity

values (H and SDV) showed a mild inverse relationship to Invertebrate

densities with some higher diversity values associated with lower

invertebrate densities- The mildness of the relationship was due to the

domination of Owenia fusiformis (Table 3) a tube-dwelling polychaete worm at

all stations except W-3-4 (0_^ fusiformis 805m2 mdash Spiophanes bombyx

l847m2) and W-3-5 (0 fusiformis l622m2 mdash Spiophanes bombyx l545m2)

The highest density of 0- fusiformis was 20986m^ at station W-1-2

Cluster analysis of the data revealed two strong cluster groups (Fig- 3)shy

A high invertebrate density group (18000 - 35000m2) represented by the

20-fathom transect stations plus the two northern 22-fathom transect stations-

A moderate density group (5000 - 12000m2) was represented by the three

southern 22-fathom transect stations and all but one station of the 24-fathom

transect The latter station W-3-2 did not fit into any cluster group

Sediments

The Willapa Bay sediments were primarily fine sand mean grain size was

377 phi (Appendix Table C) Samples were moderately high in silt-clay (mean

value 23A) and low in organic matter (mean value lTs)

DISCUSSION

Fish and Vagile Epifauna

The 1985 Willapa Bay study was designed primarily to obtain additional

information on the benthie infaunal communities in the area of the proposed

interim disposal site Trawl surveys provided a species list and relative

abundances of larger organisms in the study area However to adequately

describe the fish and crab fauna replicate samples should be taken from each

depth contour to ensure statistical validity

Theoretically maximum diversity exists where there are many species

each represented by one Individual and minimum diversity exists when all

individuals belong to one species neither situation exists in a natural

community Although Trawl 1 had the highest number of species diversity was

low due to the unbalanced proportion of Pacific tomcod and whitebait smelt

(Table 1) Without more data It Is difficult to speculate why such great

differences occurred among stations- Since the greatest numbers in Trawl 1

were due to Pacific tomcod which are epibenthic feeders it may be assumed

that they were near shore feeding on epibenthic prey

Benthic Invertebrates

The Willapa Bay benthic invertebrate community was high in both number of

taxa and density The dominant species was Owenia fusiformis The

distribution of this tube-dwelling worm was probably strongly affected by

sediment stability Oliver et al(1980) found tube-building polychaetes

abundant only in deeper water (gtA6 ft) where sediment disturbance due to wave

action is minimal Emmett et al(1987) in their September 198A survey off

Tillamook Bay found low densities of 0^^ fusiformis at 60 ft with highest

densities at 80 and 90 ft The Willapa Bay survey transects began at the 20shy

fathom depth contour and showed species and densities similar to the high

density samples off Tillamook Bay High densities of 0 fusiformis were also

found off Grays Harbor Washington (Pearson et al 1985) adjacent to and

north of Willapa Bay

Tillamook Bay Willapa Bay and Grays Harbor estuaries have extensive mud

flats with macroalgae and eelgrass Trawl tows at the Tillamook Bay and

Willapa Bay interim offshore disposal sites collected large amounts of

estuarine macroalgae Perhaps the export of these estuarine materials

enhances the nearshore benthic community The densities of benthic

invertebrates adjacent to these three estuaries are much higher than typically

found in the Oregon-Washington nearshore environment (Lie and Klsker 1970

Hancock et albull 198A Emmett et al 1987) They may represent unique marine

benthic communities linked to adjacent estuarine primary productionshy

16

Sediments

Sediments were typical of nearshore environments that are exposed to

waves and ocean swells (Fager 1968) Although sediments have a significant

effect on the distribution and abundance of benthic invertebrates (Gary 1965)

wave disturbance also plays an important role in determining the nearshore

benthic invertebrate community (Oliver et al 1980) Since invertebrate

densities at Willapa and Tillamook bays were much greater than those found at

other disposal sites along the Oregon coast and sediment structure was similar

(Emmett et al- 1987) sediment characteristics alone probably do not provide

enough information to predict either the benthic invertebrate community or

densities along the Oregon-Washington coast

SUMMARY

The Willapa Bay interim disposal site trawl-samples enabled a listing of

the larger benthic organisms and their relative abundances within the study

area However to adequately describe the fish and crab fauna replicate

samples should be taken from each depth contour to ensure statistical

validity

The benthic invertebrate community was high in both number of species and

densities of individuals The dominant species was the tube-dwelling worm

Owenia fusiformis Benthic invertebrate densities were much higher than

typically found in the Washington-Oregon nearshore environment

Sediments were typical of Washington-Oregon nearshore environments that

are exposed to waves and ocean swells Sediments were composed of clean fine

sands with moderate amounts of silt-clay and low amounts of organic matter

The density of benthic invertebrates off Willapa Bay resembled those off

the adjacent Grays Harbor Washington and off Tillamook Bay Oregon These

17

three estuaries have extensive mud flats with macroalgae and eelgrasS- The

cause of the high invertebrate densities is unknown but the contribution of

primary production from the adjacent estuary is a probable factor The areal

extent of the high Invertebrate densities off Willapa Bay Grays Harbor and

Tillaraook Bay is not known and should be defined We recommend that these

areas not be used for the disposal of dredged materials until after more

intensive studies and then only if it can be shown that there are no severe

impacts to the estuarine and marine fisheries

Page 5: BenthicInvertebrates and Demersal Fishes atanInterim

Tlllamook Bayj Oregon (gt70000 organismsm^) at 10-20 fathoms by Emmett et albull

(1987) As a result EPA requested additional benthlc Invertebrate sampling

prior to final site designation However the Wlllapa Bay Interim disposal site

was subsequently moved to deeper water (10-2A fathoms) because of the Intensive

commercial crab fishery at the original site and It was at this new site that

our sampling took place

Benthlc Invertebrate communities are commonly monitored during

environmental assessment surveys Benthlc Invertebrates are useful Indicators

of environmental conditions because 1) they are In contact with bottom sediments

(dredge spoils) 2) being relatively Immobile they may be either transported or

burled by dredge spoils and 3) they provide a critical link In the food chain

(Morton 1977)

Bottom trawl surveys sampling fishes and crabs at dredge sites can be

Important In determining what species use an area for migration spawning

rearing or feeding However dredging effects on fishes and crabs are

difficult to quantify because of the animals mobility contagious distribution

and ability to avoid disturbed habitats

Combined benthlc Invertebrate fish and crab surveys are especially

useful In Identifying both the diversity and structure of the benthlc community

and In distinguishing possible food-web linkages between Infauna and vaglle

eplfauna (fishes and crabs)

METHODS

Fish and Vagile Epifauna

Sampling was done with an 8-m semiballoon shrimp trawl having an overall

mesh size of 381 mm (stretch measure) a 127-mm mesh liner was inserted in the

cod end to ensure retention of smaller fish and invertebrates Fishing width of

the trawl was estimated to be about 5m A trawl tow of 10 min duration timed

from when the trawl reached bottom to the beginning of retrieval was made on

each of three depth contours mdash 20-fathom (37-m) 22-fathom (40-m) and 2kshy

fathom (44-m) (Fig 1) Position fixes and distance traveled were determined by

Loran-C (Appendix Table A)

Fish and Dungeness crab (Cancer magister) from each trawl catch were

identified and a subsample of 50 individuals of each species was measured (mm)

[total and standard lengths for fishes and carapace width (across the carapace

anterior to the 10th anterolateral spines) for crabs] and weighed (g) The

remainder of each species was counted and weighed as a group (Appendix Table B)

invertebrates) sampling locations off Willapa Bay Washington

Benthlc Invertebrates and Sediments

Sampling was completed at 15 stations along three transects at the 20-raquo

22- and 2A-fathom contours (Fig 1) A 0096-m2 Gray-OHara box corer (Fig 2)

(Pequegnat et al 1981) was used to collect six samples at each station Three

of these were individually sieved through a QS-mm diameter mesh screen and the

residue containing the macro-invertebrates was placed in jars and preserved in a

buffered 5^ formaldehyde solution containing rose bengal (a protein stain) Of

the remaining three samples one was subsampled for sediment and two reserved

for possible future analysis Sediment grain size was determined by sieving and

organic content by burning for 1 h at 600deg C (Appendix Table C) Sediment

analysis was done by the COE sediment laboratory at Troutdale Oregon

At the NMFS field station in Hammond Oregon the benthic organisms were picked

from the preserved samples identified to the lowest possible taxonomic level

(usually species) and counted All specimens were placed in vials containing

705s ethyl alcohol and stored at Hammond

Data Analysis

Fish and Vagile Epifauna

Various computer programs on the Northwest and Alaska Fisheries Centers

(NWAFC) Burroughs (B7800)l^ computer were used to analyze the sampling data

Figure 2mdashBox corer (Gray-OHara modification of a standard box corer Pequegnat et al 1981) used for benthic invertebrate survey in Willapa Bay For deeper penetration in hard sediments weights can be attached to the shelves located on opposite sides

densities [numberhectare(ha)] were estimated using distance fishedj fishing

width of the trawl and catch data Descriptive summaries of each sample

effort include the following (1) a species list for each trawl (2) the number

and weight of fishes and crabs captured (total and by species) (3) numberha

(total and by species) (A) weight (gha) (total and by species) and (5) four

community structure indices [diversity index (H and SDV) species richness

(SR) and species evenness (J)]

Diversity was calculated for each trawl effort using the Shannon-Weaver

Diversity Index (Shannon and Weaver 1963)

S

H = - I Pilog2Pi ial

where H =gt Shannon-Weaver Diversity Index Pi = Xan (Xa is the number of

individuals of a particular species in a sample and n is the total number of

all individuals in the sample) and S raquo number of species

A second diversity index the Simpson Diversity Value (Simpson 19A9) was

also calculated for each trawl sample

S

SDV = 1 - H Pi2 i-1

Diversity values are sensitive to two components the number of species in

a sample (species richness) and the distribution of individuals among species

(evenness) (Lloyd and Ghelardi 196A) Species richness (SR) was estimated using

Margalefs formula (Margalef 1958)

SR = (S-1) ln(N)

where S = number of species and N = total number of individuals at the station

Species evenness was described using the Evenness Index (Pielou 1966)

J= H log2S

where J=laquo Evenness Indexgt H= Shannon-Weaver Diversity Index and S = number of

species-

Benthic Invertebrates

Benthic data were analyzed with the aid of a program on the NWAFC B7800

computer The three samples collected at each station were treated as

replicates enabling calculation of a mean numberm^ and a standard deviation

for each species- The program also calculated the number of species mean

number of invertebratessample and standard deviation and mean number

of invertebratesm^ and standard deviation The community structure indices

used in the trawling analyses were also calculated for the benthic

invertebrate data- Cluster analysis using the Bray-Curtis dissimilarity

index with a group averaging fusion strategy (Clifford and Stephenson 1975)

was used to identify station groupings that had similar species and densities-

A 0-5 dissimilarity value was considered a significant difference between

groups- The mean numberm^ (untransformed) for each species per station was

used in this analysis- Species which had mean densities lt10m^ were excluded

from the analysis to reduce the effect of rare species-

Sediments

Mean grain size (phi) percent silt-clay and percent organic matter were

calculated for each station (Appendix Table C) Within-area variability

tended to be low so no statistical analysis was performedshy

RESULTS

Fish and Vagile Epifauna

The three trawl tows captured 10394 fish represented by 15 species

(Appendix Tables D and E) Pacific tomcod (Microgadus proximus) was the

dominant species captured at all three stations accounting for 95diams45regof the

total catch (Table 1) Densities (numberha) decreased dramatically as depth

increased with a 93956 decrease in densities between Stations W-1 and W-2 and

an 84656 decrease between W-2 and W-3 Conversely diversity (H and SDV)

increased as depth increased because of the reduced numbers of Pacific tomcod

and whitebait smelt (Allosmerus elongatus) at the deeper stations This

condition made the number of species in the sample nonproportional to the

number of individuals within the species

Benthic Invertebrates

A total of 229 taxa (Appendix Table F) with a mean density of 16113m2

were identified at the Willapa Bay site (Table 2) Highest invertebrate

densities were found along the 20-fathom contour (25885m^) densities

gradually decreased at the 22- (15440m2) 24-fathom transects (7014m2)

The highest invertebrate density was 35045m^ at Station W-1-2bull Mean taxa

numbers ranged from 80 to 85 and were similar for all transects Diversity

values (H and SDV) showed a mild inverse relationship to Invertebrate

densities with some higher diversity values associated with lower

invertebrate densities- The mildness of the relationship was due to the

domination of Owenia fusiformis (Table 3) a tube-dwelling polychaete worm at

all stations except W-3-4 (0_^ fusiformis 805m2 mdash Spiophanes bombyx

l847m2) and W-3-5 (0 fusiformis l622m2 mdash Spiophanes bombyx l545m2)

The highest density of 0- fusiformis was 20986m^ at station W-1-2

Cluster analysis of the data revealed two strong cluster groups (Fig- 3)shy

A high invertebrate density group (18000 - 35000m2) represented by the

20-fathom transect stations plus the two northern 22-fathom transect stations-

A moderate density group (5000 - 12000m2) was represented by the three

southern 22-fathom transect stations and all but one station of the 24-fathom

transect The latter station W-3-2 did not fit into any cluster group

Sediments

The Willapa Bay sediments were primarily fine sand mean grain size was

377 phi (Appendix Table C) Samples were moderately high in silt-clay (mean

value 23A) and low in organic matter (mean value lTs)

DISCUSSION

Fish and Vagile Epifauna

The 1985 Willapa Bay study was designed primarily to obtain additional

information on the benthie infaunal communities in the area of the proposed

interim disposal site Trawl surveys provided a species list and relative

abundances of larger organisms in the study area However to adequately

describe the fish and crab fauna replicate samples should be taken from each

depth contour to ensure statistical validity

Theoretically maximum diversity exists where there are many species

each represented by one Individual and minimum diversity exists when all

individuals belong to one species neither situation exists in a natural

community Although Trawl 1 had the highest number of species diversity was

low due to the unbalanced proportion of Pacific tomcod and whitebait smelt

(Table 1) Without more data It Is difficult to speculate why such great

differences occurred among stations- Since the greatest numbers in Trawl 1

were due to Pacific tomcod which are epibenthic feeders it may be assumed

that they were near shore feeding on epibenthic prey

Benthic Invertebrates

The Willapa Bay benthic invertebrate community was high in both number of

taxa and density The dominant species was Owenia fusiformis The

distribution of this tube-dwelling worm was probably strongly affected by

sediment stability Oliver et al(1980) found tube-building polychaetes

abundant only in deeper water (gtA6 ft) where sediment disturbance due to wave

action is minimal Emmett et al(1987) in their September 198A survey off

Tillamook Bay found low densities of 0^^ fusiformis at 60 ft with highest

densities at 80 and 90 ft The Willapa Bay survey transects began at the 20shy

fathom depth contour and showed species and densities similar to the high

density samples off Tillamook Bay High densities of 0 fusiformis were also

found off Grays Harbor Washington (Pearson et al 1985) adjacent to and

north of Willapa Bay

Tillamook Bay Willapa Bay and Grays Harbor estuaries have extensive mud

flats with macroalgae and eelgrass Trawl tows at the Tillamook Bay and

Willapa Bay interim offshore disposal sites collected large amounts of

estuarine macroalgae Perhaps the export of these estuarine materials

enhances the nearshore benthic community The densities of benthic

invertebrates adjacent to these three estuaries are much higher than typically

found in the Oregon-Washington nearshore environment (Lie and Klsker 1970

Hancock et albull 198A Emmett et al 1987) They may represent unique marine

benthic communities linked to adjacent estuarine primary productionshy

16

Sediments

Sediments were typical of nearshore environments that are exposed to

waves and ocean swells (Fager 1968) Although sediments have a significant

effect on the distribution and abundance of benthic invertebrates (Gary 1965)

wave disturbance also plays an important role in determining the nearshore

benthic invertebrate community (Oliver et al 1980) Since invertebrate

densities at Willapa and Tillamook bays were much greater than those found at

other disposal sites along the Oregon coast and sediment structure was similar

(Emmett et al- 1987) sediment characteristics alone probably do not provide

enough information to predict either the benthic invertebrate community or

densities along the Oregon-Washington coast

SUMMARY

The Willapa Bay interim disposal site trawl-samples enabled a listing of

the larger benthic organisms and their relative abundances within the study

area However to adequately describe the fish and crab fauna replicate

samples should be taken from each depth contour to ensure statistical

validity

The benthic invertebrate community was high in both number of species and

densities of individuals The dominant species was the tube-dwelling worm

Owenia fusiformis Benthic invertebrate densities were much higher than

typically found in the Washington-Oregon nearshore environment

Sediments were typical of Washington-Oregon nearshore environments that

are exposed to waves and ocean swells Sediments were composed of clean fine

sands with moderate amounts of silt-clay and low amounts of organic matter

The density of benthic invertebrates off Willapa Bay resembled those off

the adjacent Grays Harbor Washington and off Tillamook Bay Oregon These

17

three estuaries have extensive mud flats with macroalgae and eelgrasS- The

cause of the high invertebrate densities is unknown but the contribution of

primary production from the adjacent estuary is a probable factor The areal

extent of the high Invertebrate densities off Willapa Bay Grays Harbor and

Tillaraook Bay is not known and should be defined We recommend that these

areas not be used for the disposal of dredged materials until after more

intensive studies and then only if it can be shown that there are no severe

impacts to the estuarine and marine fisheries

METHODS

Fish and Vagile Epifauna

Sampling was done with an 8-m semiballoon shrimp trawl having an overall

mesh size of 381 mm (stretch measure) a 127-mm mesh liner was inserted in the

cod end to ensure retention of smaller fish and invertebrates Fishing width of

the trawl was estimated to be about 5m A trawl tow of 10 min duration timed

from when the trawl reached bottom to the beginning of retrieval was made on

each of three depth contours mdash 20-fathom (37-m) 22-fathom (40-m) and 2kshy

fathom (44-m) (Fig 1) Position fixes and distance traveled were determined by

Loran-C (Appendix Table A)

Fish and Dungeness crab (Cancer magister) from each trawl catch were

identified and a subsample of 50 individuals of each species was measured (mm)

[total and standard lengths for fishes and carapace width (across the carapace

anterior to the 10th anterolateral spines) for crabs] and weighed (g) The

remainder of each species was counted and weighed as a group (Appendix Table B)

invertebrates) sampling locations off Willapa Bay Washington

Benthlc Invertebrates and Sediments

Sampling was completed at 15 stations along three transects at the 20-raquo

22- and 2A-fathom contours (Fig 1) A 0096-m2 Gray-OHara box corer (Fig 2)

(Pequegnat et al 1981) was used to collect six samples at each station Three

of these were individually sieved through a QS-mm diameter mesh screen and the

residue containing the macro-invertebrates was placed in jars and preserved in a

buffered 5^ formaldehyde solution containing rose bengal (a protein stain) Of

the remaining three samples one was subsampled for sediment and two reserved

for possible future analysis Sediment grain size was determined by sieving and

organic content by burning for 1 h at 600deg C (Appendix Table C) Sediment

analysis was done by the COE sediment laboratory at Troutdale Oregon

At the NMFS field station in Hammond Oregon the benthic organisms were picked

from the preserved samples identified to the lowest possible taxonomic level

(usually species) and counted All specimens were placed in vials containing

705s ethyl alcohol and stored at Hammond

Data Analysis

Fish and Vagile Epifauna

Various computer programs on the Northwest and Alaska Fisheries Centers

(NWAFC) Burroughs (B7800)l^ computer were used to analyze the sampling data

Loran-C readings were used to estimate distances fished Fish and crab

Weight tray

Figure 2mdashBox corer (Gray-OHara modification of a standard box corer Pequegnat et al 1981) used for benthic invertebrate survey in Willapa Bay For deeper penetration in hard sediments weights can be attached to the shelves located on opposite sides

densities [numberhectare(ha)] were estimated using distance fishedj fishing

width of the trawl and catch data Descriptive summaries of each sample

effort include the following (1) a species list for each trawl (2) the number

and weight of fishes and crabs captured (total and by species) (3) numberha

(total and by species) (A) weight (gha) (total and by species) and (5) four

community structure indices [diversity index (H and SDV) species richness

(SR) and species evenness (J)]

Diversity was calculated for each trawl effort using the Shannon-Weaver

Diversity Index (Shannon and Weaver 1963)

S

H = - I Pilog2Pi ial

where H =gt Shannon-Weaver Diversity Index Pi = Xan (Xa is the number of

individuals of a particular species in a sample and n is the total number of

all individuals in the sample) and S raquo number of species

A second diversity index the Simpson Diversity Value (Simpson 19A9) was

also calculated for each trawl sample

S

SDV = 1 - H Pi2 i-1

Diversity values are sensitive to two components the number of species in

a sample (species richness) and the distribution of individuals among species

(evenness) (Lloyd and Ghelardi 196A) Species richness (SR) was estimated using

Margalefs formula (Margalef 1958)

SR = (S-1) ln(N)

where S = number of species and N = total number of individuals at the station

Species evenness was described using the Evenness Index (Pielou 1966)

J= H log2S

where J=laquo Evenness Indexgt H= Shannon-Weaver Diversity Index and S = number of

species-

Benthic Invertebrates

Benthic data were analyzed with the aid of a program on the NWAFC B7800

computer The three samples collected at each station were treated as

replicates enabling calculation of a mean numberm^ and a standard deviation

for each species- The program also calculated the number of species mean

number of invertebratessample and standard deviation and mean number

of invertebratesm^ and standard deviation The community structure indices

used in the trawling analyses were also calculated for the benthic

invertebrate data- Cluster analysis using the Bray-Curtis dissimilarity

index with a group averaging fusion strategy (Clifford and Stephenson 1975)

was used to identify station groupings that had similar species and densities-

A 0-5 dissimilarity value was considered a significant difference between

groups- The mean numberm^ (untransformed) for each species per station was

used in this analysis- Species which had mean densities lt10m^ were excluded

from the analysis to reduce the effect of rare species-

Mean grain size (phi) percent silt-clay and percent organic matter were

calculated for each station (Appendix Table C) Within-area variability

tended to be low so no statistical analysis was performedshy

RESULTS

Fish and Vagile Epifauna

The three trawl tows captured 10394 fish represented by 15 species

(Appendix Tables D and E) Pacific tomcod (Microgadus proximus) was the

dominant species captured at all three stations accounting for 95diams45regof the

total catch (Table 1) Densities (numberha) decreased dramatically as depth

increased with a 93956 decrease in densities between Stations W-1 and W-2 and

an 84656 decrease between W-2 and W-3 Conversely diversity (H and SDV)

increased as depth increased because of the reduced numbers of Pacific tomcod

and whitebait smelt (Allosmerus elongatus) at the deeper stations This

condition made the number of species in the sample nonproportional to the

number of individuals within the species

Benthic Invertebrates

A total of 229 taxa (Appendix Table F) with a mean density of 16113m2

were identified at the Willapa Bay site (Table 2) Highest invertebrate

densities were found along the 20-fathom contour (25885m^) densities

gradually decreased at the 22- (15440m2) 24-fathom transects (7014m2)

The highest invertebrate density was 35045m^ at Station W-1-2bull Mean taxa

numbers ranged from 80 to 85 and were similar for all transects Diversity

values (H and SDV) showed a mild inverse relationship to Invertebrate

densities with some higher diversity values associated with lower

invertebrate densities- The mildness of the relationship was due to the

domination of Owenia fusiformis (Table 3) a tube-dwelling polychaete worm at

all stations except W-3-4 (0_^ fusiformis 805m2 mdash Spiophanes bombyx

l847m2) and W-3-5 (0 fusiformis l622m2 mdash Spiophanes bombyx l545m2)

The highest density of 0- fusiformis was 20986m^ at station W-1-2

Cluster analysis of the data revealed two strong cluster groups (Fig- 3)shy

A high invertebrate density group (18000 - 35000m2) represented by the

20-fathom transect stations plus the two northern 22-fathom transect stations-

A moderate density group (5000 - 12000m2) was represented by the three

southern 22-fathom transect stations and all but one station of the 24-fathom

transect The latter station W-3-2 did not fit into any cluster group

Sediments

The Willapa Bay sediments were primarily fine sand mean grain size was

377 phi (Appendix Table C) Samples were moderately high in silt-clay (mean

value 23A) and low in organic matter (mean value lTs)

DISCUSSION

Fish and Vagile Epifauna

The 1985 Willapa Bay study was designed primarily to obtain additional

information on the benthie infaunal communities in the area of the proposed

interim disposal site Trawl surveys provided a species list and relative

abundances of larger organisms in the study area However to adequately

describe the fish and crab fauna replicate samples should be taken from each

depth contour to ensure statistical validity

Theoretically maximum diversity exists where there are many species

each represented by one Individual and minimum diversity exists when all

individuals belong to one species neither situation exists in a natural

community Although Trawl 1 had the highest number of species diversity was

low due to the unbalanced proportion of Pacific tomcod and whitebait smelt

(Table 1) Without more data It Is difficult to speculate why such great

differences occurred among stations- Since the greatest numbers in Trawl 1

Nautical miles

were due to Pacific tomcod which are epibenthic feeders it may be assumed

that they were near shore feeding on epibenthic prey

Benthic Invertebrates

The Willapa Bay benthic invertebrate community was high in both number of

taxa and density The dominant species was Owenia fusiformis The

distribution of this tube-dwelling worm was probably strongly affected by

sediment stability Oliver et al(1980) found tube-building polychaetes

abundant only in deeper water (gtA6 ft) where sediment disturbance due to wave

action is minimal Emmett et al(1987) in their September 198A survey off

Tillamook Bay found low densities of 0^^ fusiformis at 60 ft with highest

densities at 80 and 90 ft The Willapa Bay survey transects began at the 20shy

fathom depth contour and showed species and densities similar to the high

density samples off Tillamook Bay High densities of 0 fusiformis were also

found off Grays Harbor Washington (Pearson et al 1985) adjacent to and

north of Willapa Bay

Tillamook Bay Willapa Bay and Grays Harbor estuaries have extensive mud

flats with macroalgae and eelgrass Trawl tows at the Tillamook Bay and

Willapa Bay interim offshore disposal sites collected large amounts of

estuarine macroalgae Perhaps the export of these estuarine materials

enhances the nearshore benthic community The densities of benthic

invertebrates adjacent to these three estuaries are much higher than typically

found in the Oregon-Washington nearshore environment (Lie and Klsker 1970

Hancock et albull 198A Emmett et al 1987) They may represent unique marine

benthic communities linked to adjacent estuarine primary productionshy

16

Sediments

Sediments were typical of nearshore environments that are exposed to

waves and ocean swells (Fager 1968) Although sediments have a significant

effect on the distribution and abundance of benthic invertebrates (Gary 1965)

wave disturbance also plays an important role in determining the nearshore

benthic invertebrate community (Oliver et al 1980) Since invertebrate

densities at Willapa and Tillamook bays were much greater than those found at

other disposal sites along the Oregon coast and sediment structure was similar

(Emmett et al- 1987) sediment characteristics alone probably do not provide

enough information to predict either the benthic invertebrate community or

densities along the Oregon-Washington coast

SUMMARY

The Willapa Bay interim disposal site trawl-samples enabled a listing of

the larger benthic organisms and their relative abundances within the study

area However to adequately describe the fish and crab fauna replicate

samples should be taken from each depth contour to ensure statistical

validity

The benthic invertebrate community was high in both number of species and

densities of individuals The dominant species was the tube-dwelling worm

Owenia fusiformis Benthic invertebrate densities were much higher than

typically found in the Washington-Oregon nearshore environment

Sediments were typical of Washington-Oregon nearshore environments that

are exposed to waves and ocean swells Sediments were composed of clean fine

sands with moderate amounts of silt-clay and low amounts of organic matter

The density of benthic invertebrates off Willapa Bay resembled those off

the adjacent Grays Harbor Washington and off Tillamook Bay Oregon These

17

three estuaries have extensive mud flats with macroalgae and eelgrasS- The

cause of the high invertebrate densities is unknown but the contribution of

primary production from the adjacent estuary is a probable factor The areal

extent of the high Invertebrate densities off Willapa Bay Grays Harbor and

Tillaraook Bay is not known and should be defined We recommend that these

areas not be used for the disposal of dredged materials until after more

intensive studies and then only if it can be shown that there are no severe

impacts to the estuarine and marine fisheries

I z Figure 1mdashTrawl (fish and vagile epifauna) and box corer (benthic

invertebrates) sampling locations off Willapa Bay Washington

Benthlc Invertebrates and Sediments

Sampling was completed at 15 stations along three transects at the 20-raquo

22- and 2A-fathom contours (Fig 1) A 0096-m2 Gray-OHara box corer (Fig 2)

(Pequegnat et al 1981) was used to collect six samples at each station Three

of these were individually sieved through a QS-mm diameter mesh screen and the

residue containing the macro-invertebrates was placed in jars and preserved in a

buffered 5^ formaldehyde solution containing rose bengal (a protein stain) Of

the remaining three samples one was subsampled for sediment and two reserved

for possible future analysis Sediment grain size was determined by sieving and

organic content by burning for 1 h at 600deg C (Appendix Table C) Sediment

analysis was done by the COE sediment laboratory at Troutdale Oregon

At the NMFS field station in Hammond Oregon the benthic organisms were picked

from the preserved samples identified to the lowest possible taxonomic level

(usually species) and counted All specimens were placed in vials containing

705s ethyl alcohol and stored at Hammond

Data Analysis

Fish and Vagile Epifauna

Various computer programs on the Northwest and Alaska Fisheries Centers

(NWAFC) Burroughs (B7800)l^ computer were used to analyze the sampling data

Loran-C readings were used to estimate distances fished Fish and crab

Reference to trade names does not imply Indorsement by National Marine

Fisheries Service NOAA

Weight tray

Figure 2mdashBox corer (Gray-OHara modification of a standard box corer Pequegnat et al 1981) used for benthic invertebrate survey in Willapa Bay For deeper penetration in hard sediments weights can be attached to the shelves located on opposite sides

densities [numberhectare(ha)] were estimated using distance fishedj fishing

width of the trawl and catch data Descriptive summaries of each sample

effort include the following (1) a species list for each trawl (2) the number

and weight of fishes and crabs captured (total and by species) (3) numberha

(total and by species) (A) weight (gha) (total and by species) and (5) four

community structure indices [diversity index (H and SDV) species richness

(SR) and species evenness (J)]

Diversity was calculated for each trawl effort using the Shannon-Weaver

Diversity Index (Shannon and Weaver 1963)

S

H = - I Pilog2Pi ial

where H =gt Shannon-Weaver Diversity Index Pi = Xan (Xa is the number of

individuals of a particular species in a sample and n is the total number of

all individuals in the sample) and S raquo number of species

A second diversity index the Simpson Diversity Value (Simpson 19A9) was

also calculated for each trawl sample

S

SDV = 1 - H Pi2 i-1

Diversity values are sensitive to two components the number of species in

a sample (species richness) and the distribution of individuals among species

(evenness) (Lloyd and Ghelardi 196A) Species richness (SR) was estimated using

Margalefs formula (Margalef 1958)

SR = (S-1) ln(N)

where S = number of species and N = total number of individuals at the station

Species evenness was described using the Evenness Index (Pielou 1966)

J= H log2S

where J=laquo Evenness Indexgt H= Shannon-Weaver Diversity Index and S = number of

species-

Benthic Invertebrates

Benthic data were analyzed with the aid of a program on the NWAFC B7800

computer The three samples collected at each station were treated as

replicates enabling calculation of a mean numberm^ and a standard deviation

for each species- The program also calculated the number of species mean

number of invertebratessample and standard deviation and mean number

of invertebratesm^ and standard deviation The community structure indices

used in the trawling analyses were also calculated for the benthic

invertebrate data- Cluster analysis using the Bray-Curtis dissimilarity

index with a group averaging fusion strategy (Clifford and Stephenson 1975)

was used to identify station groupings that had similar species and densities-

A 0-5 dissimilarity value was considered a significant difference between

groups- The mean numberm^ (untransformed) for each species per station was

used in this analysis- Species which had mean densities lt10m^ were excluded

from the analysis to reduce the effect of rare species-

Sediments

Mean grain size (phi) percent silt-clay and percent organic matter were

calculated for each station (Appendix Table C) Within-area variability

tended to be low so no statistical analysis was performedshy

RESULTS

Fish and Vagile Epifauna

The three trawl tows captured 10394 fish represented by 15 species

(Appendix Tables D and E) Pacific tomcod (Microgadus proximus) was the

dominant species captured at all three stations accounting for 95diams45regof the

total catch (Table 1) Densities (numberha) decreased dramatically as depth

increased with a 93956 decrease in densities between Stations W-1 and W-2 and

an 84656 decrease between W-2 and W-3 Conversely diversity (H and SDV)

increased as depth increased because of the reduced numbers of Pacific tomcod

and whitebait smelt (Allosmerus elongatus) at the deeper stations This

condition made the number of species in the sample nonproportional to the

number of individuals within the species

Benthic Invertebrates

A total of 229 taxa (Appendix Table F) with a mean density of 16113m2

were identified at the Willapa Bay site (Table 2) Highest invertebrate

densities were found along the 20-fathom contour (25885m^) densities

gradually decreased at the 22- (15440m2) 24-fathom transects (7014m2)

The highest invertebrate density was 35045m^ at Station W-1-2bull Mean taxa

numbers ranged from 80 to 85 and were similar for all transects Diversity

values (H and SDV) showed a mild inverse relationship to Invertebrate

densities with some higher diversity values associated with lower

invertebrate densities- The mildness of the relationship was due to the

domination of Owenia fusiformis (Table 3) a tube-dwelling polychaete worm at

all stations except W-3-4 (0_^ fusiformis 805m2 mdash Spiophanes bombyx

l847m2) and W-3-5 (0 fusiformis l622m2 mdash Spiophanes bombyx l545m2)

The highest density of 0- fusiformis was 20986m^ at station W-1-2

Cluster analysis of the data revealed two strong cluster groups (Fig- 3)shy

A high invertebrate density group (18000 - 35000m2) represented by the

20-fathom transect stations plus the two northern 22-fathom transect stations-

A moderate density group (5000 - 12000m2) was represented by the three

southern 22-fathom transect stations and all but one station of the 24-fathom

transect The latter station W-3-2 did not fit into any cluster group

Sediments

The Willapa Bay sediments were primarily fine sand mean grain size was

377 phi (Appendix Table C) Samples were moderately high in silt-clay (mean

value 23A) and low in organic matter (mean value lTs)

DISCUSSION

Fish and Vagile Epifauna

The 1985 Willapa Bay study was designed primarily to obtain additional

information on the benthie infaunal communities in the area of the proposed

interim disposal site Trawl surveys provided a species list and relative

abundances of larger organisms in the study area However to adequately

describe the fish and crab fauna replicate samples should be taken from each

depth contour to ensure statistical validity

Theoretically maximum diversity exists where there are many species

each represented by one Individual and minimum diversity exists when all

individuals belong to one species neither situation exists in a natural

community Although Trawl 1 had the highest number of species diversity was

low due to the unbalanced proportion of Pacific tomcod and whitebait smelt

(Table 1) Without more data It Is difficult to speculate why such great

differences occurred among stations- Since the greatest numbers in Trawl 1

Nautical miles

were due to Pacific tomcod which are epibenthic feeders it may be assumed

that they were near shore feeding on epibenthic prey

Benthic Invertebrates

The Willapa Bay benthic invertebrate community was high in both number of

taxa and density The dominant species was Owenia fusiformis The

distribution of this tube-dwelling worm was probably strongly affected by

sediment stability Oliver et al(1980) found tube-building polychaetes

abundant only in deeper water (gtA6 ft) where sediment disturbance due to wave

action is minimal Emmett et al(1987) in their September 198A survey off

Tillamook Bay found low densities of 0^^ fusiformis at 60 ft with highest

densities at 80 and 90 ft The Willapa Bay survey transects began at the 20shy

fathom depth contour and showed species and densities similar to the high

density samples off Tillamook Bay High densities of 0 fusiformis were also

found off Grays Harbor Washington (Pearson et al 1985) adjacent to and

north of Willapa Bay

Tillamook Bay Willapa Bay and Grays Harbor estuaries have extensive mud

flats with macroalgae and eelgrass Trawl tows at the Tillamook Bay and

Willapa Bay interim offshore disposal sites collected large amounts of

estuarine macroalgae Perhaps the export of these estuarine materials

enhances the nearshore benthic community The densities of benthic

invertebrates adjacent to these three estuaries are much higher than typically

found in the Oregon-Washington nearshore environment (Lie and Klsker 1970

Hancock et albull 198A Emmett et al 1987) They may represent unique marine

benthic communities linked to adjacent estuarine primary productionshy

16

Sediments

Sediments were typical of nearshore environments that are exposed to

waves and ocean swells (Fager 1968) Although sediments have a significant

effect on the distribution and abundance of benthic invertebrates (Gary 1965)

wave disturbance also plays an important role in determining the nearshore

benthic invertebrate community (Oliver et al 1980) Since invertebrate

densities at Willapa and Tillamook bays were much greater than those found at

other disposal sites along the Oregon coast and sediment structure was similar

(Emmett et al- 1987) sediment characteristics alone probably do not provide

enough information to predict either the benthic invertebrate community or

densities along the Oregon-Washington coast

SUMMARY

The Willapa Bay interim disposal site trawl-samples enabled a listing of

the larger benthic organisms and their relative abundances within the study

area However to adequately describe the fish and crab fauna replicate

samples should be taken from each depth contour to ensure statistical

validity

The benthic invertebrate community was high in both number of species and

densities of individuals The dominant species was the tube-dwelling worm

Owenia fusiformis Benthic invertebrate densities were much higher than

typically found in the Washington-Oregon nearshore environment

Sediments were typical of Washington-Oregon nearshore environments that

are exposed to waves and ocean swells Sediments were composed of clean fine

sands with moderate amounts of silt-clay and low amounts of organic matter

The density of benthic invertebrates off Willapa Bay resembled those off

the adjacent Grays Harbor Washington and off Tillamook Bay Oregon These

17

three estuaries have extensive mud flats with macroalgae and eelgrasS- The

cause of the high invertebrate densities is unknown but the contribution of

primary production from the adjacent estuary is a probable factor The areal

extent of the high Invertebrate densities off Willapa Bay Grays Harbor and

Tillaraook Bay is not known and should be defined We recommend that these

areas not be used for the disposal of dredged materials until after more

intensive studies and then only if it can be shown that there are no severe

impacts to the estuarine and marine fisheries

Benthlc Invertebrates and Sediments

Sampling was completed at 15 stations along three transects at the 20-raquo

22- and 2A-fathom contours (Fig 1) A 0096-m2 Gray-OHara box corer (Fig 2)

(Pequegnat et al 1981) was used to collect six samples at each station Three

of these were individually sieved through a QS-mm diameter mesh screen and the

residue containing the macro-invertebrates was placed in jars and preserved in a

buffered 5^ formaldehyde solution containing rose bengal (a protein stain) Of

the remaining three samples one was subsampled for sediment and two reserved

for possible future analysis Sediment grain size was determined by sieving and

organic content by burning for 1 h at 600deg C (Appendix Table C) Sediment

analysis was done by the COE sediment laboratory at Troutdale Oregon

At the NMFS field station in Hammond Oregon the benthic organisms were picked

from the preserved samples identified to the lowest possible taxonomic level

(usually species) and counted All specimens were placed in vials containing

705s ethyl alcohol and stored at Hammond

Data Analysis

Fish and Vagile Epifauna

Various computer programs on the Northwest and Alaska Fisheries Centers

(NWAFC) Burroughs (B7800)l^ computer were used to analyze the sampling data

Loran-C readings were used to estimate distances fished Fish and crab

Weight tray

Figure 2mdashBox corer (Gray-OHara modification of a standard box corer Pequegnat et al 1981) used for benthic invertebrate survey in Willapa Bay For deeper penetration in hard sediments weights can be attached to the shelves located on opposite sides

densities [numberhectare(ha)] were estimated using distance fishedj fishing

width of the trawl and catch data Descriptive summaries of each sample

effort include the following (1) a species list for each trawl (2) the number

and weight of fishes and crabs captured (total and by species) (3) numberha

(total and by species) (A) weight (gha) (total and by species) and (5) four

community structure indices [diversity index (H and SDV) species richness

(SR) and species evenness (J)]

Diversity was calculated for each trawl effort using the Shannon-Weaver

Diversity Index (Shannon and Weaver 1963)

S

H = - I Pilog2Pi ial

where H =gt Shannon-Weaver Diversity Index Pi = Xan (Xa is the number of

individuals of a particular species in a sample and n is the total number of

all individuals in the sample) and S raquo number of species

A second diversity index the Simpson Diversity Value (Simpson 19A9) was

also calculated for each trawl sample

S

SDV = 1 - H Pi2 i-1

Diversity values are sensitive to two components the number of species in

a sample (species richness) and the distribution of individuals among species

(evenness) (Lloyd and Ghelardi 196A) Species richness (SR) was estimated using

Margalefs formula (Margalef 1958)

SR = (S-1) ln(N)

where S = number of species and N = total number of individuals at the station

Species evenness was described using the Evenness Index (Pielou 1966)

J= H log2S

where J=laquo Evenness Indexgt H= Shannon-Weaver Diversity Index and S = number of

species-

Benthic Invertebrates

Benthic data were analyzed with the aid of a program on the NWAFC B7800

computer The three samples collected at each station were treated as

replicates enabling calculation of a mean numberm^ and a standard deviation

for each species- The program also calculated the number of species mean

number of invertebratessample and standard deviation and mean number

of invertebratesm^ and standard deviation The community structure indices

used in the trawling analyses were also calculated for the benthic

invertebrate data- Cluster analysis using the Bray-Curtis dissimilarity

index with a group averaging fusion strategy (Clifford and Stephenson 1975)

was used to identify station groupings that had similar species and densities-

A 0-5 dissimilarity value was considered a significant difference between

groups- The mean numberm^ (untransformed) for each species per station was

used in this analysis- Species which had mean densities lt10m^ were excluded

from the analysis to reduce the effect of rare species-

Sediments

Mean grain size (phi) percent silt-clay and percent organic matter were

calculated for each station (Appendix Table C) Within-area variability

tended to be low so no statistical analysis was performedshy

RESULTS

Fish and Vagile Epifauna

The three trawl tows captured 10394 fish represented by 15 species

(Appendix Tables D and E) Pacific tomcod (Microgadus proximus) was the

dominant species captured at all three stations accounting for 95diams45regof the

total catch (Table 1) Densities (numberha) decreased dramatically as depth

increased with a 93956 decrease in densities between Stations W-1 and W-2 and

an 84656 decrease between W-2 and W-3 Conversely diversity (H and SDV)

increased as depth increased because of the reduced numbers of Pacific tomcod

and whitebait smelt (Allosmerus elongatus) at the deeper stations This

condition made the number of species in the sample nonproportional to the

number of individuals within the species

Benthic Invertebrates

A total of 229 taxa (Appendix Table F) with a mean density of 16113m2

were identified at the Willapa Bay site (Table 2) Highest invertebrate

densities were found along the 20-fathom contour (25885m^) densities

gradually decreased at the 22- (15440m2) 24-fathom transects (7014m2)

The highest invertebrate density was 35045m^ at Station W-1-2bull Mean taxa

numbers ranged from 80 to 85 and were similar for all transects Diversity

values (H and SDV) showed a mild inverse relationship to Invertebrate

densities with some higher diversity values associated with lower

invertebrate densities- The mildness of the relationship was due to the

domination of Owenia fusiformis (Table 3) a tube-dwelling polychaete worm at

all stations except W-3-4 (0_^ fusiformis 805m2 mdash Spiophanes bombyx

l847m2) and W-3-5 (0 fusiformis l622m2 mdash Spiophanes bombyx l545m2)

The highest density of 0- fusiformis was 20986m^ at station W-1-2

Cluster analysis of the data revealed two strong cluster groups (Fig- 3)shy

A high invertebrate density group (18000 - 35000m2) represented by the

20-fathom transect stations plus the two northern 22-fathom transect stations-

A moderate density group (5000 - 12000m2) was represented by the three

southern 22-fathom transect stations and all but one station of the 24-fathom

transect The latter station W-3-2 did not fit into any cluster group

Sediments

The Willapa Bay sediments were primarily fine sand mean grain size was

377 phi (Appendix Table C) Samples were moderately high in silt-clay (mean

value 23A) and low in organic matter (mean value lTs)

DISCUSSION

Fish and Vagile Epifauna

The 1985 Willapa Bay study was designed primarily to obtain additional

information on the benthie infaunal communities in the area of the proposed

interim disposal site Trawl surveys provided a species list and relative

abundances of larger organisms in the study area However to adequately

describe the fish and crab fauna replicate samples should be taken from each

depth contour to ensure statistical validity

Theoretically maximum diversity exists where there are many species

each represented by one Individual and minimum diversity exists when all

individuals belong to one species neither situation exists in a natural

community Although Trawl 1 had the highest number of species diversity was

low due to the unbalanced proportion of Pacific tomcod and whitebait smelt

(Table 1) Without more data It Is difficult to speculate why such great

differences occurred among stations- Since the greatest numbers in Trawl 1

were due to Pacific tomcod which are epibenthic feeders it may be assumed

that they were near shore feeding on epibenthic prey

Benthic Invertebrates

The Willapa Bay benthic invertebrate community was high in both number of

taxa and density The dominant species was Owenia fusiformis The

distribution of this tube-dwelling worm was probably strongly affected by

sediment stability Oliver et al(1980) found tube-building polychaetes

abundant only in deeper water (gtA6 ft) where sediment disturbance due to wave

action is minimal Emmett et al(1987) in their September 198A survey off

Tillamook Bay found low densities of 0^^ fusiformis at 60 ft with highest

densities at 80 and 90 ft The Willapa Bay survey transects began at the 20shy

fathom depth contour and showed species and densities similar to the high

density samples off Tillamook Bay High densities of 0 fusiformis were also

found off Grays Harbor Washington (Pearson et al 1985) adjacent to and

north of Willapa Bay

Tillamook Bay Willapa Bay and Grays Harbor estuaries have extensive mud

flats with macroalgae and eelgrass Trawl tows at the Tillamook Bay and

Willapa Bay interim offshore disposal sites collected large amounts of

estuarine macroalgae Perhaps the export of these estuarine materials

enhances the nearshore benthic community The densities of benthic

invertebrates adjacent to these three estuaries are much higher than typically

found in the Oregon-Washington nearshore environment (Lie and Klsker 1970

Hancock et albull 198A Emmett et al 1987) They may represent unique marine

benthic communities linked to adjacent estuarine primary productionshy

16

Sediments

Sediments were typical of nearshore environments that are exposed to

waves and ocean swells (Fager 1968) Although sediments have a significant

effect on the distribution and abundance of benthic invertebrates (Gary 1965)

wave disturbance also plays an important role in determining the nearshore

benthic invertebrate community (Oliver et al 1980) Since invertebrate

densities at Willapa and Tillamook bays were much greater than those found at

other disposal sites along the Oregon coast and sediment structure was similar

(Emmett et al- 1987) sediment characteristics alone probably do not provide

enough information to predict either the benthic invertebrate community or

densities along the Oregon-Washington coast

SUMMARY

The Willapa Bay interim disposal site trawl-samples enabled a listing of

the larger benthic organisms and their relative abundances within the study

area However to adequately describe the fish and crab fauna replicate

samples should be taken from each depth contour to ensure statistical

validity

The benthic invertebrate community was high in both number of species and

densities of individuals The dominant species was the tube-dwelling worm

Owenia fusiformis Benthic invertebrate densities were much higher than

typically found in the Washington-Oregon nearshore environment

Sediments were typical of Washington-Oregon nearshore environments that

are exposed to waves and ocean swells Sediments were composed of clean fine

sands with moderate amounts of silt-clay and low amounts of organic matter

The density of benthic invertebrates off Willapa Bay resembled those off

the adjacent Grays Harbor Washington and off Tillamook Bay Oregon These

17

three estuaries have extensive mud flats with macroalgae and eelgrasS- The

cause of the high invertebrate densities is unknown but the contribution of

primary production from the adjacent estuary is a probable factor The areal

extent of the high Invertebrate densities off Willapa Bay Grays Harbor and

Tillaraook Bay is not known and should be defined We recommend that these

areas not be used for the disposal of dredged materials until after more

intensive studies and then only if it can be shown that there are no severe

impacts to the estuarine and marine fisheries

Weight tray

Figure 2mdashBox corer (Gray-OHara modification of a standard box corer Pequegnat et al 1981) used for benthic invertebrate survey in Willapa Bay For deeper penetration in hard sediments weights can be attached to the shelves located on opposite sides

densities [numberhectare(ha)] were estimated using distance fishedj fishing

width of the trawl and catch data Descriptive summaries of each sample

effort include the following (1) a species list for each trawl (2) the number

and weight of fishes and crabs captured (total and by species) (3) numberha

(total and by species) (A) weight (gha) (total and by species) and (5) four

community structure indices [diversity index (H and SDV) species richness

(SR) and species evenness (J)]

Diversity was calculated for each trawl effort using the Shannon-Weaver

Diversity Index (Shannon and Weaver 1963)

S

H = - I Pilog2Pi ial

where H =gt Shannon-Weaver Diversity Index Pi = Xan (Xa is the number of

individuals of a particular species in a sample and n is the total number of

all individuals in the sample) and S raquo number of species

A second diversity index the Simpson Diversity Value (Simpson 19A9) was

also calculated for each trawl sample

S

SDV = 1 - H Pi2 i-1

Diversity values are sensitive to two components the number of species in

a sample (species richness) and the distribution of individuals among species

(evenness) (Lloyd and Ghelardi 196A) Species richness (SR) was estimated using

Margalefs formula (Margalef 1958)

SR = (S-1) ln(N)

where S = number of species and N = total number of individuals at the station

Species evenness was described using the Evenness Index (Pielou 1966)

J= H log2S

where J=laquo Evenness Indexgt H= Shannon-Weaver Diversity Index and S = number of

species-

Benthic Invertebrates

Benthic data were analyzed with the aid of a program on the NWAFC B7800

computer The three samples collected at each station were treated as

replicates enabling calculation of a mean numberm^ and a standard deviation

for each species- The program also calculated the number of species mean

number of invertebratessample and standard deviation and mean number

of invertebratesm^ and standard deviation The community structure indices

used in the trawling analyses were also calculated for the benthic

invertebrate data- Cluster analysis using the Bray-Curtis dissimilarity

index with a group averaging fusion strategy (Clifford and Stephenson 1975)

was used to identify station groupings that had similar species and densities-

A 0-5 dissimilarity value was considered a significant difference between

groups- The mean numberm^ (untransformed) for each species per station was

used in this analysis- Species which had mean densities lt10m^ were excluded

from the analysis to reduce the effect of rare species-

Sediments

Mean grain size (phi) percent silt-clay and percent organic matter were

calculated for each station (Appendix Table C) Within-area variability

tended to be low so no statistical analysis was performedshy

RESULTS

Fish and Vagile Epifauna

The three trawl tows captured 10394 fish represented by 15 species

(Appendix Tables D and E) Pacific tomcod (Microgadus proximus) was the

dominant species captured at all three stations accounting for 95diams45regof the

total catch (Table 1) Densities (numberha) decreased dramatically as depth

increased with a 93956 decrease in densities between Stations W-1 and W-2 and

an 84656 decrease between W-2 and W-3 Conversely diversity (H and SDV)

increased as depth increased because of the reduced numbers of Pacific tomcod

and whitebait smelt (Allosmerus elongatus) at the deeper stations This

condition made the number of species in the sample nonproportional to the

number of individuals within the species

Benthic Invertebrates

A total of 229 taxa (Appendix Table F) with a mean density of 16113m2

were identified at the Willapa Bay site (Table 2) Highest invertebrate

densities were found along the 20-fathom contour (25885m^) densities

gradually decreased at the 22- (15440m2) 24-fathom transects (7014m2)

The highest invertebrate density was 35045m^ at Station W-1-2bull Mean taxa

numbers ranged from 80 to 85 and were similar for all transects Diversity

values (H and SDV) showed a mild inverse relationship to Invertebrate

densities with some higher diversity values associated with lower

invertebrate densities- The mildness of the relationship was due to the

domination of Owenia fusiformis (Table 3) a tube-dwelling polychaete worm at

all stations except W-3-4 (0_^ fusiformis 805m2 mdash Spiophanes bombyx

l847m2) and W-3-5 (0 fusiformis l622m2 mdash Spiophanes bombyx l545m2)

The highest density of 0- fusiformis was 20986m^ at station W-1-2

Cluster analysis of the data revealed two strong cluster groups (Fig- 3)shy

A high invertebrate density group (18000 - 35000m2) represented by the

20-fathom transect stations plus the two northern 22-fathom transect stations-

A moderate density group (5000 - 12000m2) was represented by the three

southern 22-fathom transect stations and all but one station of the 24-fathom

transect The latter station W-3-2 did not fit into any cluster group

Sediments

The Willapa Bay sediments were primarily fine sand mean grain size was

377 phi (Appendix Table C) Samples were moderately high in silt-clay (mean

value 23A) and low in organic matter (mean value lTs)

DISCUSSION

Fish and Vagile Epifauna

The 1985 Willapa Bay study was designed primarily to obtain additional

information on the benthie infaunal communities in the area of the proposed

interim disposal site Trawl surveys provided a species list and relative

abundances of larger organisms in the study area However to adequately

describe the fish and crab fauna replicate samples should be taken from each

depth contour to ensure statistical validity

Theoretically maximum diversity exists where there are many species

each represented by one Individual and minimum diversity exists when all

individuals belong to one species neither situation exists in a natural

community Although Trawl 1 had the highest number of species diversity was

low due to the unbalanced proportion of Pacific tomcod and whitebait smelt

(Table 1) Without more data It Is difficult to speculate why such great

differences occurred among stations- Since the greatest numbers in Trawl 1

were due to Pacific tomcod which are epibenthic feeders it may be assumed

that they were near shore feeding on epibenthic prey

Benthic Invertebrates

The Willapa Bay benthic invertebrate community was high in both number of

taxa and density The dominant species was Owenia fusiformis The

distribution of this tube-dwelling worm was probably strongly affected by

sediment stability Oliver et al(1980) found tube-building polychaetes

abundant only in deeper water (gtA6 ft) where sediment disturbance due to wave

action is minimal Emmett et al(1987) in their September 198A survey off

Tillamook Bay found low densities of 0^^ fusiformis at 60 ft with highest

densities at 80 and 90 ft The Willapa Bay survey transects began at the 20shy

fathom depth contour and showed species and densities similar to the high

density samples off Tillamook Bay High densities of 0 fusiformis were also

found off Grays Harbor Washington (Pearson et al 1985) adjacent to and

north of Willapa Bay

Tillamook Bay Willapa Bay and Grays Harbor estuaries have extensive mud

flats with macroalgae and eelgrass Trawl tows at the Tillamook Bay and

Willapa Bay interim offshore disposal sites collected large amounts of

estuarine macroalgae Perhaps the export of these estuarine materials

enhances the nearshore benthic community The densities of benthic

invertebrates adjacent to these three estuaries are much higher than typically

found in the Oregon-Washington nearshore environment (Lie and Klsker 1970

Hancock et albull 198A Emmett et al 1987) They may represent unique marine

benthic communities linked to adjacent estuarine primary productionshy

16

Sediments

Sediments were typical of nearshore environments that are exposed to

waves and ocean swells (Fager 1968) Although sediments have a significant

effect on the distribution and abundance of benthic invertebrates (Gary 1965)

wave disturbance also plays an important role in determining the nearshore

benthic invertebrate community (Oliver et al 1980) Since invertebrate

densities at Willapa and Tillamook bays were much greater than those found at

other disposal sites along the Oregon coast and sediment structure was similar

(Emmett et al- 1987) sediment characteristics alone probably do not provide

enough information to predict either the benthic invertebrate community or

densities along the Oregon-Washington coast

SUMMARY

The Willapa Bay interim disposal site trawl-samples enabled a listing of

the larger benthic organisms and their relative abundances within the study

area However to adequately describe the fish and crab fauna replicate

samples should be taken from each depth contour to ensure statistical

validity

The benthic invertebrate community was high in both number of species and

densities of individuals The dominant species was the tube-dwelling worm

Owenia fusiformis Benthic invertebrate densities were much higher than

typically found in the Washington-Oregon nearshore environment

Sediments were typical of Washington-Oregon nearshore environments that

are exposed to waves and ocean swells Sediments were composed of clean fine

sands with moderate amounts of silt-clay and low amounts of organic matter

The density of benthic invertebrates off Willapa Bay resembled those off

the adjacent Grays Harbor Washington and off Tillamook Bay Oregon These

17

three estuaries have extensive mud flats with macroalgae and eelgrasS- The

cause of the high invertebrate densities is unknown but the contribution of

primary production from the adjacent estuary is a probable factor The areal

extent of the high Invertebrate densities off Willapa Bay Grays Harbor and

Tillaraook Bay is not known and should be defined We recommend that these

areas not be used for the disposal of dredged materials until after more

intensive studies and then only if it can be shown that there are no severe

impacts to the estuarine and marine fisheries

densities [numberhectare(ha)] were estimated using distance fishedj fishing

width of the trawl and catch data Descriptive summaries of each sample

effort include the following (1) a species list for each trawl (2) the number

and weight of fishes and crabs captured (total and by species) (3) numberha

(total and by species) (A) weight (gha) (total and by species) and (5) four

community structure indices [diversity index (H and SDV) species richness

(SR) and species evenness (J)]

Diversity was calculated for each trawl effort using the Shannon-Weaver

Diversity Index (Shannon and Weaver 1963)

S

H = - I Pilog2Pi ial

where H =gt Shannon-Weaver Diversity Index Pi = Xan (Xa is the number of

individuals of a particular species in a sample and n is the total number of

all individuals in the sample) and S raquo number of species

A second diversity index the Simpson Diversity Value (Simpson 19A9) was

also calculated for each trawl sample

S

SDV = 1 - H Pi2 i-1

Diversity values are sensitive to two components the number of species in

a sample (species richness) and the distribution of individuals among species

(evenness) (Lloyd and Ghelardi 196A) Species richness (SR) was estimated using

Margalefs formula (Margalef 1958)

SR = (S-1) ln(N)

where S = number of species and N = total number of individuals at the station

Species evenness was described using the Evenness Index (Pielou 1966)

J= H log2S

where J=laquo Evenness Indexgt H= Shannon-Weaver Diversity Index and S = number of

species-

Benthic Invertebrates

Benthic data were analyzed with the aid of a program on the NWAFC B7800

computer The three samples collected at each station were treated as

replicates enabling calculation of a mean numberm^ and a standard deviation

for each species- The program also calculated the number of species mean

number of invertebratessample and standard deviation and mean number

of invertebratesm^ and standard deviation The community structure indices

used in the trawling analyses were also calculated for the benthic

invertebrate data- Cluster analysis using the Bray-Curtis dissimilarity

index with a group averaging fusion strategy (Clifford and Stephenson 1975)

was used to identify station groupings that had similar species and densities-

A 0-5 dissimilarity value was considered a significant difference between

groups- The mean numberm^ (untransformed) for each species per station was

used in this analysis- Species which had mean densities lt10m^ were excluded

from the analysis to reduce the effect of rare species-

Sediments

Mean grain size (phi) percent silt-clay and percent organic matter were

calculated for each station (Appendix Table C) Within-area variability

tended to be low so no statistical analysis was performedshy

RESULTS

Fish and Vagile Epifauna

The three trawl tows captured 10394 fish represented by 15 species

(Appendix Tables D and E) Pacific tomcod (Microgadus proximus) was the

dominant species captured at all three stations accounting for 95diams45regof the

total catch (Table 1) Densities (numberha) decreased dramatically as depth

increased with a 93956 decrease in densities between Stations W-1 and W-2 and

an 84656 decrease between W-2 and W-3 Conversely diversity (H and SDV)

increased as depth increased because of the reduced numbers of Pacific tomcod

and whitebait smelt (Allosmerus elongatus) at the deeper stations This

condition made the number of species in the sample nonproportional to the

number of individuals within the species

Benthic Invertebrates

A total of 229 taxa (Appendix Table F) with a mean density of 16113m2

were identified at the Willapa Bay site (Table 2) Highest invertebrate

densities were found along the 20-fathom contour (25885m^) densities

gradually decreased at the 22- (15440m2) 24-fathom transects (7014m2)

The highest invertebrate density was 35045m^ at Station W-1-2bull Mean taxa

numbers ranged from 80 to 85 and were similar for all transects Diversity

values (H and SDV) showed a mild inverse relationship to Invertebrate

densities with some higher diversity values associated with lower

invertebrate densities- The mildness of the relationship was due to the

domination of Owenia fusiformis (Table 3) a tube-dwelling polychaete worm at

all stations except W-3-4 (0_^ fusiformis 805m2 mdash Spiophanes bombyx

l847m2) and W-3-5 (0 fusiformis l622m2 mdash Spiophanes bombyx l545m2)

The highest density of 0- fusiformis was 20986m^ at station W-1-2

Cluster analysis of the data revealed two strong cluster groups (Fig- 3)shy

A high invertebrate density group (18000 - 35000m2) represented by the

20-fathom transect stations plus the two northern 22-fathom transect stations-

A moderate density group (5000 - 12000m2) was represented by the three

southern 22-fathom transect stations and all but one station of the 24-fathom

transect The latter station W-3-2 did not fit into any cluster group

Sediments

The Willapa Bay sediments were primarily fine sand mean grain size was

377 phi (Appendix Table C) Samples were moderately high in silt-clay (mean

value 23A) and low in organic matter (mean value lTs)

DISCUSSION

Fish and Vagile Epifauna

The 1985 Willapa Bay study was designed primarily to obtain additional

information on the benthie infaunal communities in the area of the proposed

interim disposal site Trawl surveys provided a species list and relative

abundances of larger organisms in the study area However to adequately

describe the fish and crab fauna replicate samples should be taken from each

depth contour to ensure statistical validity

Theoretically maximum diversity exists where there are many species

each represented by one Individual and minimum diversity exists when all

individuals belong to one species neither situation exists in a natural

community Although Trawl 1 had the highest number of species diversity was

low due to the unbalanced proportion of Pacific tomcod and whitebait smelt

(Table 1) Without more data It Is difficult to speculate why such great

differences occurred among stations- Since the greatest numbers in Trawl 1

were due to Pacific tomcod which are epibenthic feeders it may be assumed

that they were near shore feeding on epibenthic prey

Benthic Invertebrates

The Willapa Bay benthic invertebrate community was high in both number of

taxa and density The dominant species was Owenia fusiformis The

distribution of this tube-dwelling worm was probably strongly affected by

sediment stability Oliver et al(1980) found tube-building polychaetes

abundant only in deeper water (gtA6 ft) where sediment disturbance due to wave

action is minimal Emmett et al(1987) in their September 198A survey off

Tillamook Bay found low densities of 0^^ fusiformis at 60 ft with highest

densities at 80 and 90 ft The Willapa Bay survey transects began at the 20shy

fathom depth contour and showed species and densities similar to the high

density samples off Tillamook Bay High densities of 0 fusiformis were also

found off Grays Harbor Washington (Pearson et al 1985) adjacent to and

north of Willapa Bay

Tillamook Bay Willapa Bay and Grays Harbor estuaries have extensive mud

flats with macroalgae and eelgrass Trawl tows at the Tillamook Bay and

Willapa Bay interim offshore disposal sites collected large amounts of

estuarine macroalgae Perhaps the export of these estuarine materials

enhances the nearshore benthic community The densities of benthic

invertebrates adjacent to these three estuaries are much higher than typically

found in the Oregon-Washington nearshore environment (Lie and Klsker 1970

Hancock et albull 198A Emmett et al 1987) They may represent unique marine

benthic communities linked to adjacent estuarine primary productionshy

16

Sediments

Sediments were typical of nearshore environments that are exposed to

waves and ocean swells (Fager 1968) Although sediments have a significant

effect on the distribution and abundance of benthic invertebrates (Gary 1965)

wave disturbance also plays an important role in determining the nearshore

benthic invertebrate community (Oliver et al 1980) Since invertebrate

densities at Willapa and Tillamook bays were much greater than those found at

other disposal sites along the Oregon coast and sediment structure was similar

(Emmett et al- 1987) sediment characteristics alone probably do not provide

enough information to predict either the benthic invertebrate community or

densities along the Oregon-Washington coast

SUMMARY

The Willapa Bay interim disposal site trawl-samples enabled a listing of

the larger benthic organisms and their relative abundances within the study

area However to adequately describe the fish and crab fauna replicate

samples should be taken from each depth contour to ensure statistical

validity

The benthic invertebrate community was high in both number of species and

densities of individuals The dominant species was the tube-dwelling worm

Owenia fusiformis Benthic invertebrate densities were much higher than

typically found in the Washington-Oregon nearshore environment

Sediments were typical of Washington-Oregon nearshore environments that

are exposed to waves and ocean swells Sediments were composed of clean fine

sands with moderate amounts of silt-clay and low amounts of organic matter

The density of benthic invertebrates off Willapa Bay resembled those off

the adjacent Grays Harbor Washington and off Tillamook Bay Oregon These

17

three estuaries have extensive mud flats with macroalgae and eelgrasS- The

cause of the high invertebrate densities is unknown but the contribution of

primary production from the adjacent estuary is a probable factor The areal

extent of the high Invertebrate densities off Willapa Bay Grays Harbor and

Tillaraook Bay is not known and should be defined We recommend that these

areas not be used for the disposal of dredged materials until after more

intensive studies and then only if it can be shown that there are no severe

impacts to the estuarine and marine fisheries

Species evenness was described using the Evenness Index (Pielou 1966)

J= H log2S

where J=laquo Evenness Indexgt H= Shannon-Weaver Diversity Index and S = number of

species-

Benthic Invertebrates

Benthic data were analyzed with the aid of a program on the NWAFC B7800

computer The three samples collected at each station were treated as

replicates enabling calculation of a mean numberm^ and a standard deviation

for each species- The program also calculated the number of species mean

number of invertebratessample and standard deviation and mean number

of invertebratesm^ and standard deviation The community structure indices

used in the trawling analyses were also calculated for the benthic

invertebrate data- Cluster analysis using the Bray-Curtis dissimilarity

index with a group averaging fusion strategy (Clifford and Stephenson 1975)

was used to identify station groupings that had similar species and densities-

A 0-5 dissimilarity value was considered a significant difference between

groups- The mean numberm^ (untransformed) for each species per station was

used in this analysis- Species which had mean densities lt10m^ were excluded

from the analysis to reduce the effect of rare species-

Sediments

Mean grain size (phi) percent silt-clay and percent organic matter were

calculated for each station (Appendix Table C) Within-area variability

tended to be low so no statistical analysis was performedshy

RESULTS

Fish and Vagile Epifauna

The three trawl tows captured 10394 fish represented by 15 species

(Appendix Tables D and E) Pacific tomcod (Microgadus proximus) was the

dominant species captured at all three stations accounting for 95diams45regof the

total catch (Table 1) Densities (numberha) decreased dramatically as depth

increased with a 93956 decrease in densities between Stations W-1 and W-2 and

an 84656 decrease between W-2 and W-3 Conversely diversity (H and SDV)

increased as depth increased because of the reduced numbers of Pacific tomcod

and whitebait smelt (Allosmerus elongatus) at the deeper stations This

condition made the number of species in the sample nonproportional to the

number of individuals within the species

Benthic Invertebrates

A total of 229 taxa (Appendix Table F) with a mean density of 16113m2

were identified at the Willapa Bay site (Table 2) Highest invertebrate

densities were found along the 20-fathom contour (25885m^) densities

gradually decreased at the 22- (15440m2) 24-fathom transects (7014m2)

The highest invertebrate density was 35045m^ at Station W-1-2bull Mean taxa

numbers ranged from 80 to 85 and were similar for all transects Diversity

values (H and SDV) showed a mild inverse relationship to Invertebrate

densities with some higher diversity values associated with lower

invertebrate densities- The mildness of the relationship was due to the

domination of Owenia fusiformis (Table 3) a tube-dwelling polychaete worm at

all stations except W-3-4 (0_^ fusiformis 805m2 mdash Spiophanes bombyx

l847m2) and W-3-5 (0 fusiformis l622m2 mdash Spiophanes bombyx l545m2)

The highest density of 0- fusiformis was 20986m^ at station W-1-2

Cluster analysis of the data revealed two strong cluster groups (Fig- 3)shy

A high invertebrate density group (18000 - 35000m2) represented by the

20-fathom transect stations plus the two northern 22-fathom transect stations-

A moderate density group (5000 - 12000m2) was represented by the three

southern 22-fathom transect stations and all but one station of the 24-fathom

transect The latter station W-3-2 did not fit into any cluster group

Sediments

The Willapa Bay sediments were primarily fine sand mean grain size was

377 phi (Appendix Table C) Samples were moderately high in silt-clay (mean

value 23A) and low in organic matter (mean value lTs)

DISCUSSION

Fish and Vagile Epifauna

The 1985 Willapa Bay study was designed primarily to obtain additional

information on the benthie infaunal communities in the area of the proposed

interim disposal site Trawl surveys provided a species list and relative

abundances of larger organisms in the study area However to adequately

describe the fish and crab fauna replicate samples should be taken from each

depth contour to ensure statistical validity

Theoretically maximum diversity exists where there are many species

each represented by one Individual and minimum diversity exists when all

individuals belong to one species neither situation exists in a natural

community Although Trawl 1 had the highest number of species diversity was

low due to the unbalanced proportion of Pacific tomcod and whitebait smelt

(Table 1) Without more data It Is difficult to speculate why such great

differences occurred among stations- Since the greatest numbers in Trawl 1

Nautical miles

were due to Pacific tomcod which are epibenthic feeders it may be assumed

that they were near shore feeding on epibenthic prey

Benthic Invertebrates

The Willapa Bay benthic invertebrate community was high in both number of

taxa and density The dominant species was Owenia fusiformis The

distribution of this tube-dwelling worm was probably strongly affected by

sediment stability Oliver et al(1980) found tube-building polychaetes

abundant only in deeper water (gtA6 ft) where sediment disturbance due to wave

action is minimal Emmett et al(1987) in their September 198A survey off

Tillamook Bay found low densities of 0^^ fusiformis at 60 ft with highest

densities at 80 and 90 ft The Willapa Bay survey transects began at the 20shy

fathom depth contour and showed species and densities similar to the high

density samples off Tillamook Bay High densities of 0 fusiformis were also

found off Grays Harbor Washington (Pearson et al 1985) adjacent to and

north of Willapa Bay

Tillamook Bay Willapa Bay and Grays Harbor estuaries have extensive mud

flats with macroalgae and eelgrass Trawl tows at the Tillamook Bay and

Willapa Bay interim offshore disposal sites collected large amounts of

estuarine macroalgae Perhaps the export of these estuarine materials

enhances the nearshore benthic community The densities of benthic

invertebrates adjacent to these three estuaries are much higher than typically

found in the Oregon-Washington nearshore environment (Lie and Klsker 1970

Hancock et albull 198A Emmett et al 1987) They may represent unique marine

benthic communities linked to adjacent estuarine primary productionshy

16

Sediments

Sediments were typical of nearshore environments that are exposed to

waves and ocean swells (Fager 1968) Although sediments have a significant

effect on the distribution and abundance of benthic invertebrates (Gary 1965)

wave disturbance also plays an important role in determining the nearshore

benthic invertebrate community (Oliver et al 1980) Since invertebrate

densities at Willapa and Tillamook bays were much greater than those found at

other disposal sites along the Oregon coast and sediment structure was similar

(Emmett et al- 1987) sediment characteristics alone probably do not provide

enough information to predict either the benthic invertebrate community or

densities along the Oregon-Washington coast

SUMMARY

The Willapa Bay interim disposal site trawl-samples enabled a listing of

the larger benthic organisms and their relative abundances within the study

area However to adequately describe the fish and crab fauna replicate

samples should be taken from each depth contour to ensure statistical

validity

The benthic invertebrate community was high in both number of species and

densities of individuals The dominant species was the tube-dwelling worm

Owenia fusiformis Benthic invertebrate densities were much higher than

typically found in the Washington-Oregon nearshore environment

Sediments were typical of Washington-Oregon nearshore environments that

are exposed to waves and ocean swells Sediments were composed of clean fine

sands with moderate amounts of silt-clay and low amounts of organic matter

The density of benthic invertebrates off Willapa Bay resembled those off

the adjacent Grays Harbor Washington and off Tillamook Bay Oregon These

17

three estuaries have extensive mud flats with macroalgae and eelgrasS- The

cause of the high invertebrate densities is unknown but the contribution of

primary production from the adjacent estuary is a probable factor The areal

extent of the high Invertebrate densities off Willapa Bay Grays Harbor and

Tillaraook Bay is not known and should be defined We recommend that these

areas not be used for the disposal of dredged materials until after more

intensive studies and then only if it can be shown that there are no severe

impacts to the estuarine and marine fisheries

RESULTS

Fish and Vagile Epifauna

The three trawl tows captured 10394 fish represented by 15 species

(Appendix Tables D and E) Pacific tomcod (Microgadus proximus) was the

dominant species captured at all three stations accounting for 95diams45regof the

total catch (Table 1) Densities (numberha) decreased dramatically as depth

increased with a 93956 decrease in densities between Stations W-1 and W-2 and

an 84656 decrease between W-2 and W-3 Conversely diversity (H and SDV)

increased as depth increased because of the reduced numbers of Pacific tomcod

and whitebait smelt (Allosmerus elongatus) at the deeper stations This

condition made the number of species in the sample nonproportional to the

number of individuals within the species

Benthic Invertebrates

A total of 229 taxa (Appendix Table F) with a mean density of 16113m2

were identified at the Willapa Bay site (Table 2) Highest invertebrate

densities were found along the 20-fathom contour (25885m^) densities

gradually decreased at the 22- (15440m2) 24-fathom transects (7014m2)

The highest invertebrate density was 35045m^ at Station W-1-2bull Mean taxa

numbers ranged from 80 to 85 and were similar for all transects Diversity

values (H and SDV) showed a mild inverse relationship to Invertebrate

densities with some higher diversity values associated with lower

invertebrate densities- The mildness of the relationship was due to the

domination of Owenia fusiformis (Table 3) a tube-dwelling polychaete worm at

all stations except W-3-4 (0_^ fusiformis 805m2 mdash Spiophanes bombyx

l847m2) and W-3-5 (0 fusiformis l622m2 mdash Spiophanes bombyx l545m2)

The highest density of 0- fusiformis was 20986m^ at station W-1-2

Cluster analysis of the data revealed two strong cluster groups (Fig- 3)shy

A high invertebrate density group (18000 - 35000m2) represented by the

20-fathom transect stations plus the two northern 22-fathom transect stations-

A moderate density group (5000 - 12000m2) was represented by the three

southern 22-fathom transect stations and all but one station of the 24-fathom

transect The latter station W-3-2 did not fit into any cluster group

Sediments

The Willapa Bay sediments were primarily fine sand mean grain size was

377 phi (Appendix Table C) Samples were moderately high in silt-clay (mean

value 23A) and low in organic matter (mean value lTs)

DISCUSSION

Fish and Vagile Epifauna

The 1985 Willapa Bay study was designed primarily to obtain additional

information on the benthie infaunal communities in the area of the proposed

interim disposal site Trawl surveys provided a species list and relative

abundances of larger organisms in the study area However to adequately

describe the fish and crab fauna replicate samples should be taken from each

depth contour to ensure statistical validity

Theoretically maximum diversity exists where there are many species

each represented by one Individual and minimum diversity exists when all

individuals belong to one species neither situation exists in a natural

community Although Trawl 1 had the highest number of species diversity was

low due to the unbalanced proportion of Pacific tomcod and whitebait smelt

(Table 1) Without more data It Is difficult to speculate why such great

differences occurred among stations- Since the greatest numbers in Trawl 1

were due to Pacific tomcod which are epibenthic feeders it may be assumed

that they were near shore feeding on epibenthic prey

Benthic Invertebrates

The Willapa Bay benthic invertebrate community was high in both number of

taxa and density The dominant species was Owenia fusiformis The

distribution of this tube-dwelling worm was probably strongly affected by

sediment stability Oliver et al(1980) found tube-building polychaetes

abundant only in deeper water (gtA6 ft) where sediment disturbance due to wave

action is minimal Emmett et al(1987) in their September 198A survey off

Tillamook Bay found low densities of 0^^ fusiformis at 60 ft with highest

densities at 80 and 90 ft The Willapa Bay survey transects began at the 20shy

fathom depth contour and showed species and densities similar to the high

density samples off Tillamook Bay High densities of 0 fusiformis were also

found off Grays Harbor Washington (Pearson et al 1985) adjacent to and

north of Willapa Bay

Tillamook Bay Willapa Bay and Grays Harbor estuaries have extensive mud

flats with macroalgae and eelgrass Trawl tows at the Tillamook Bay and

Willapa Bay interim offshore disposal sites collected large amounts of

estuarine macroalgae Perhaps the export of these estuarine materials

enhances the nearshore benthic community The densities of benthic

invertebrates adjacent to these three estuaries are much higher than typically

found in the Oregon-Washington nearshore environment (Lie and Klsker 1970

Hancock et albull 198A Emmett et al 1987) They may represent unique marine

benthic communities linked to adjacent estuarine primary productionshy

16

Sediments

Sediments were typical of nearshore environments that are exposed to

waves and ocean swells (Fager 1968) Although sediments have a significant

effect on the distribution and abundance of benthic invertebrates (Gary 1965)

wave disturbance also plays an important role in determining the nearshore

benthic invertebrate community (Oliver et al 1980) Since invertebrate

densities at Willapa and Tillamook bays were much greater than those found at

other disposal sites along the Oregon coast and sediment structure was similar

(Emmett et al- 1987) sediment characteristics alone probably do not provide

enough information to predict either the benthic invertebrate community or

densities along the Oregon-Washington coast

SUMMARY

The Willapa Bay interim disposal site trawl-samples enabled a listing of

the larger benthic organisms and their relative abundances within the study

area However to adequately describe the fish and crab fauna replicate

samples should be taken from each depth contour to ensure statistical

validity

The benthic invertebrate community was high in both number of species and

densities of individuals The dominant species was the tube-dwelling worm

Owenia fusiformis Benthic invertebrate densities were much higher than

typically found in the Washington-Oregon nearshore environment

Sediments were typical of Washington-Oregon nearshore environments that

are exposed to waves and ocean swells Sediments were composed of clean fine

sands with moderate amounts of silt-clay and low amounts of organic matter

The density of benthic invertebrates off Willapa Bay resembled those off

the adjacent Grays Harbor Washington and off Tillamook Bay Oregon These

17

three estuaries have extensive mud flats with macroalgae and eelgrasS- The

cause of the high invertebrate densities is unknown but the contribution of

primary production from the adjacent estuary is a probable factor The areal

extent of the high Invertebrate densities off Willapa Bay Grays Harbor and

Tillaraook Bay is not known and should be defined We recommend that these

areas not be used for the disposal of dredged materials until after more

intensive studies and then only if it can be shown that there are no severe

impacts to the estuarine and marine fisheries

Cluster analysis of the data revealed two strong cluster groups (Fig- 3)shy

A high invertebrate density group (18000 - 35000m2) represented by the

20-fathom transect stations plus the two northern 22-fathom transect stations-

A moderate density group (5000 - 12000m2) was represented by the three

southern 22-fathom transect stations and all but one station of the 24-fathom

transect The latter station W-3-2 did not fit into any cluster group

Sediments

The Willapa Bay sediments were primarily fine sand mean grain size was

377 phi (Appendix Table C) Samples were moderately high in silt-clay (mean

value 23A) and low in organic matter (mean value lTs)

DISCUSSION

Fish and Vagile Epifauna

The 1985 Willapa Bay study was designed primarily to obtain additional

information on the benthie infaunal communities in the area of the proposed

interim disposal site Trawl surveys provided a species list and relative

abundances of larger organisms in the study area However to adequately

describe the fish and crab fauna replicate samples should be taken from each

depth contour to ensure statistical validity

Theoretically maximum diversity exists where there are many species

each represented by one Individual and minimum diversity exists when all

individuals belong to one species neither situation exists in a natural

community Although Trawl 1 had the highest number of species diversity was

low due to the unbalanced proportion of Pacific tomcod and whitebait smelt

(Table 1) Without more data It Is difficult to speculate why such great

differences occurred among stations- Since the greatest numbers in Trawl 1

Nautical miles

were due to Pacific tomcod which are epibenthic feeders it may be assumed

that they were near shore feeding on epibenthic prey

Benthic Invertebrates

The Willapa Bay benthic invertebrate community was high in both number of

taxa and density The dominant species was Owenia fusiformis The

distribution of this tube-dwelling worm was probably strongly affected by

sediment stability Oliver et al(1980) found tube-building polychaetes

abundant only in deeper water (gtA6 ft) where sediment disturbance due to wave

action is minimal Emmett et al(1987) in their September 198A survey off

Tillamook Bay found low densities of 0^^ fusiformis at 60 ft with highest

densities at 80 and 90 ft The Willapa Bay survey transects began at the 20shy

fathom depth contour and showed species and densities similar to the high

density samples off Tillamook Bay High densities of 0 fusiformis were also

found off Grays Harbor Washington (Pearson et al 1985) adjacent to and

north of Willapa Bay

Tillamook Bay Willapa Bay and Grays Harbor estuaries have extensive mud

flats with macroalgae and eelgrass Trawl tows at the Tillamook Bay and

Willapa Bay interim offshore disposal sites collected large amounts of

estuarine macroalgae Perhaps the export of these estuarine materials

enhances the nearshore benthic community The densities of benthic

invertebrates adjacent to these three estuaries are much higher than typically

found in the Oregon-Washington nearshore environment (Lie and Klsker 1970

Hancock et albull 198A Emmett et al 1987) They may represent unique marine

benthic communities linked to adjacent estuarine primary productionshy

16

Sediments

Sediments were typical of nearshore environments that are exposed to

waves and ocean swells (Fager 1968) Although sediments have a significant

effect on the distribution and abundance of benthic invertebrates (Gary 1965)

wave disturbance also plays an important role in determining the nearshore

benthic invertebrate community (Oliver et al 1980) Since invertebrate

densities at Willapa and Tillamook bays were much greater than those found at

other disposal sites along the Oregon coast and sediment structure was similar

(Emmett et al- 1987) sediment characteristics alone probably do not provide

enough information to predict either the benthic invertebrate community or

densities along the Oregon-Washington coast

SUMMARY

The Willapa Bay interim disposal site trawl-samples enabled a listing of

the larger benthic organisms and their relative abundances within the study

area However to adequately describe the fish and crab fauna replicate

samples should be taken from each depth contour to ensure statistical

validity

The benthic invertebrate community was high in both number of species and

densities of individuals The dominant species was the tube-dwelling worm

Owenia fusiformis Benthic invertebrate densities were much higher than

typically found in the Washington-Oregon nearshore environment

Sediments were typical of Washington-Oregon nearshore environments that

are exposed to waves and ocean swells Sediments were composed of clean fine

sands with moderate amounts of silt-clay and low amounts of organic matter

The density of benthic invertebrates off Willapa Bay resembled those off

the adjacent Grays Harbor Washington and off Tillamook Bay Oregon These

17

three estuaries have extensive mud flats with macroalgae and eelgrasS- The

cause of the high invertebrate densities is unknown but the contribution of

primary production from the adjacent estuary is a probable factor The areal

extent of the high Invertebrate densities off Willapa Bay Grays Harbor and

Tillaraook Bay is not known and should be defined We recommend that these

areas not be used for the disposal of dredged materials until after more

intensive studies and then only if it can be shown that there are no severe

impacts to the estuarine and marine fisheries

Cluster analysis of the data revealed two strong cluster groups (Fig- 3)shy

A high invertebrate density group (18000 - 35000m2) represented by the

20-fathom transect stations plus the two northern 22-fathom transect stations-

A moderate density group (5000 - 12000m2) was represented by the three

southern 22-fathom transect stations and all but one station of the 24-fathom

transect The latter station W-3-2 did not fit into any cluster group

Sediments

The Willapa Bay sediments were primarily fine sand mean grain size was

377 phi (Appendix Table C) Samples were moderately high in silt-clay (mean

value 23A) and low in organic matter (mean value lTs)

DISCUSSION

Fish and Vagile Epifauna

The 1985 Willapa Bay study was designed primarily to obtain additional

information on the benthie infaunal communities in the area of the proposed

interim disposal site Trawl surveys provided a species list and relative

abundances of larger organisms in the study area However to adequately

describe the fish and crab fauna replicate samples should be taken from each

depth contour to ensure statistical validity

Theoretically maximum diversity exists where there are many species

each represented by one Individual and minimum diversity exists when all

individuals belong to one species neither situation exists in a natural

community Although Trawl 1 had the highest number of species diversity was

low due to the unbalanced proportion of Pacific tomcod and whitebait smelt

(Table 1) Without more data It Is difficult to speculate why such great

differences occurred among stations- Since the greatest numbers in Trawl 1

were due to Pacific tomcod which are epibenthic feeders it may be assumed

that they were near shore feeding on epibenthic prey

Benthic Invertebrates

The Willapa Bay benthic invertebrate community was high in both number of

taxa and density The dominant species was Owenia fusiformis The

distribution of this tube-dwelling worm was probably strongly affected by

sediment stability Oliver et al(1980) found tube-building polychaetes

abundant only in deeper water (gtA6 ft) where sediment disturbance due to wave

action is minimal Emmett et al(1987) in their September 198A survey off

Tillamook Bay found low densities of 0^^ fusiformis at 60 ft with highest

densities at 80 and 90 ft The Willapa Bay survey transects began at the 20shy

fathom depth contour and showed species and densities similar to the high

density samples off Tillamook Bay High densities of 0 fusiformis were also

found off Grays Harbor Washington (Pearson et al 1985) adjacent to and

north of Willapa Bay

Tillamook Bay Willapa Bay and Grays Harbor estuaries have extensive mud

flats with macroalgae and eelgrass Trawl tows at the Tillamook Bay and

Willapa Bay interim offshore disposal sites collected large amounts of

estuarine macroalgae Perhaps the export of these estuarine materials

enhances the nearshore benthic community The densities of benthic

invertebrates adjacent to these three estuaries are much higher than typically

found in the Oregon-Washington nearshore environment (Lie and Klsker 1970

Hancock et albull 198A Emmett et al 1987) They may represent unique marine

benthic communities linked to adjacent estuarine primary productionshy

16

Sediments

Sediments were typical of nearshore environments that are exposed to

waves and ocean swells (Fager 1968) Although sediments have a significant

effect on the distribution and abundance of benthic invertebrates (Gary 1965)

wave disturbance also plays an important role in determining the nearshore

benthic invertebrate community (Oliver et al 1980) Since invertebrate

densities at Willapa and Tillamook bays were much greater than those found at

other disposal sites along the Oregon coast and sediment structure was similar

(Emmett et al- 1987) sediment characteristics alone probably do not provide

enough information to predict either the benthic invertebrate community or

densities along the Oregon-Washington coast

SUMMARY

The Willapa Bay interim disposal site trawl-samples enabled a listing of

the larger benthic organisms and their relative abundances within the study

area However to adequately describe the fish and crab fauna replicate

samples should be taken from each depth contour to ensure statistical

validity

The benthic invertebrate community was high in both number of species and

densities of individuals The dominant species was the tube-dwelling worm

Owenia fusiformis Benthic invertebrate densities were much higher than

typically found in the Washington-Oregon nearshore environment

Sediments were typical of Washington-Oregon nearshore environments that

are exposed to waves and ocean swells Sediments were composed of clean fine

sands with moderate amounts of silt-clay and low amounts of organic matter

The density of benthic invertebrates off Willapa Bay resembled those off

the adjacent Grays Harbor Washington and off Tillamook Bay Oregon These

17

three estuaries have extensive mud flats with macroalgae and eelgrasS- The

cause of the high invertebrate densities is unknown but the contribution of

primary production from the adjacent estuary is a probable factor The areal

extent of the high Invertebrate densities off Willapa Bay Grays Harbor and

Tillaraook Bay is not known and should be defined We recommend that these

areas not be used for the disposal of dredged materials until after more

intensive studies and then only if it can be shown that there are no severe

impacts to the estuarine and marine fisheries

Cluster analysis of the data revealed two strong cluster groups (Fig- 3)shy

A high invertebrate density group (18000 - 35000m2) represented by the

20-fathom transect stations plus the two northern 22-fathom transect stations-

A moderate density group (5000 - 12000m2) was represented by the three

southern 22-fathom transect stations and all but one station of the 24-fathom

transect The latter station W-3-2 did not fit into any cluster group

Sediments

The Willapa Bay sediments were primarily fine sand mean grain size was

377 phi (Appendix Table C) Samples were moderately high in silt-clay (mean

value 23A) and low in organic matter (mean value lTs)

DISCUSSION

Fish and Vagile Epifauna

The 1985 Willapa Bay study was designed primarily to obtain additional

information on the benthie infaunal communities in the area of the proposed

interim disposal site Trawl surveys provided a species list and relative

abundances of larger organisms in the study area However to adequately

describe the fish and crab fauna replicate samples should be taken from each

depth contour to ensure statistical validity

Theoretically maximum diversity exists where there are many species

each represented by one Individual and minimum diversity exists when all

individuals belong to one species neither situation exists in a natural

community Although Trawl 1 had the highest number of species diversity was

low due to the unbalanced proportion of Pacific tomcod and whitebait smelt

(Table 1) Without more data It Is difficult to speculate why such great

differences occurred among stations- Since the greatest numbers in Trawl 1

Nautical miles

were due to Pacific tomcod which are epibenthic feeders it may be assumed

that they were near shore feeding on epibenthic prey

Benthic Invertebrates

The Willapa Bay benthic invertebrate community was high in both number of

taxa and density The dominant species was Owenia fusiformis The

distribution of this tube-dwelling worm was probably strongly affected by

sediment stability Oliver et al(1980) found tube-building polychaetes

abundant only in deeper water (gtA6 ft) where sediment disturbance due to wave

action is minimal Emmett et al(1987) in their September 198A survey off

Tillamook Bay found low densities of 0^^ fusiformis at 60 ft with highest

densities at 80 and 90 ft The Willapa Bay survey transects began at the 20shy

fathom depth contour and showed species and densities similar to the high

density samples off Tillamook Bay High densities of 0 fusiformis were also

found off Grays Harbor Washington (Pearson et al 1985) adjacent to and

north of Willapa Bay

Tillamook Bay Willapa Bay and Grays Harbor estuaries have extensive mud

flats with macroalgae and eelgrass Trawl tows at the Tillamook Bay and

Willapa Bay interim offshore disposal sites collected large amounts of

estuarine macroalgae Perhaps the export of these estuarine materials

enhances the nearshore benthic community The densities of benthic

invertebrates adjacent to these three estuaries are much higher than typically

found in the Oregon-Washington nearshore environment (Lie and Klsker 1970

Hancock et albull 198A Emmett et al 1987) They may represent unique marine

benthic communities linked to adjacent estuarine primary productionshy

16

Sediments

Sediments were typical of nearshore environments that are exposed to

waves and ocean swells (Fager 1968) Although sediments have a significant

effect on the distribution and abundance of benthic invertebrates (Gary 1965)

wave disturbance also plays an important role in determining the nearshore

benthic invertebrate community (Oliver et al 1980) Since invertebrate

densities at Willapa and Tillamook bays were much greater than those found at

other disposal sites along the Oregon coast and sediment structure was similar

(Emmett et al- 1987) sediment characteristics alone probably do not provide

enough information to predict either the benthic invertebrate community or

densities along the Oregon-Washington coast

SUMMARY

The Willapa Bay interim disposal site trawl-samples enabled a listing of

the larger benthic organisms and their relative abundances within the study

area However to adequately describe the fish and crab fauna replicate

samples should be taken from each depth contour to ensure statistical

validity

The benthic invertebrate community was high in both number of species and

densities of individuals The dominant species was the tube-dwelling worm

Owenia fusiformis Benthic invertebrate densities were much higher than

typically found in the Washington-Oregon nearshore environment

Sediments were typical of Washington-Oregon nearshore environments that

are exposed to waves and ocean swells Sediments were composed of clean fine

sands with moderate amounts of silt-clay and low amounts of organic matter

The density of benthic invertebrates off Willapa Bay resembled those off

the adjacent Grays Harbor Washington and off Tillamook Bay Oregon These

17

three estuaries have extensive mud flats with macroalgae and eelgrasS- The

cause of the high invertebrate densities is unknown but the contribution of

primary production from the adjacent estuary is a probable factor The areal

extent of the high Invertebrate densities off Willapa Bay Grays Harbor and

Tillaraook Bay is not known and should be defined We recommend that these

areas not be used for the disposal of dredged materials until after more

intensive studies and then only if it can be shown that there are no severe

impacts to the estuarine and marine fisheries

Cluster analysis of the data revealed two strong cluster groups (Fig- 3)shy

A high invertebrate density group (18000 - 35000m2) represented by the

20-fathom transect stations plus the two northern 22-fathom transect stations-

A moderate density group (5000 - 12000m2) was represented by the three

southern 22-fathom transect stations and all but one station of the 24-fathom

transect The latter station W-3-2 did not fit into any cluster group

Sediments

The Willapa Bay sediments were primarily fine sand mean grain size was

377 phi (Appendix Table C) Samples were moderately high in silt-clay (mean

value 23A) and low in organic matter (mean value lTs)

DISCUSSION

Fish and Vagile Epifauna

The 1985 Willapa Bay study was designed primarily to obtain additional

information on the benthie infaunal communities in the area of the proposed

interim disposal site Trawl surveys provided a species list and relative

abundances of larger organisms in the study area However to adequately

describe the fish and crab fauna replicate samples should be taken from each

depth contour to ensure statistical validity

Theoretically maximum diversity exists where there are many species

each represented by one Individual and minimum diversity exists when all

individuals belong to one species neither situation exists in a natural

community Although Trawl 1 had the highest number of species diversity was

low due to the unbalanced proportion of Pacific tomcod and whitebait smelt

(Table 1) Without more data It Is difficult to speculate why such great

differences occurred among stations- Since the greatest numbers in Trawl 1

were due to Pacific tomcod which are epibenthic feeders it may be assumed

that they were near shore feeding on epibenthic prey

Benthic Invertebrates

The Willapa Bay benthic invertebrate community was high in both number of

taxa and density The dominant species was Owenia fusiformis The

distribution of this tube-dwelling worm was probably strongly affected by

sediment stability Oliver et al(1980) found tube-building polychaetes

abundant only in deeper water (gtA6 ft) where sediment disturbance due to wave

action is minimal Emmett et al(1987) in their September 198A survey off

Tillamook Bay found low densities of 0^^ fusiformis at 60 ft with highest

densities at 80 and 90 ft The Willapa Bay survey transects began at the 20shy

fathom depth contour and showed species and densities similar to the high

density samples off Tillamook Bay High densities of 0 fusiformis were also

found off Grays Harbor Washington (Pearson et al 1985) adjacent to and

north of Willapa Bay

Tillamook Bay Willapa Bay and Grays Harbor estuaries have extensive mud

flats with macroalgae and eelgrass Trawl tows at the Tillamook Bay and

Willapa Bay interim offshore disposal sites collected large amounts of

estuarine macroalgae Perhaps the export of these estuarine materials

enhances the nearshore benthic community The densities of benthic

invertebrates adjacent to these three estuaries are much higher than typically

found in the Oregon-Washington nearshore environment (Lie and Klsker 1970

Hancock et albull 198A Emmett et al 1987) They may represent unique marine

benthic communities linked to adjacent estuarine primary productionshy

16

Sediments

Sediments were typical of nearshore environments that are exposed to

waves and ocean swells (Fager 1968) Although sediments have a significant

effect on the distribution and abundance of benthic invertebrates (Gary 1965)

wave disturbance also plays an important role in determining the nearshore

benthic invertebrate community (Oliver et al 1980) Since invertebrate

densities at Willapa and Tillamook bays were much greater than those found at

other disposal sites along the Oregon coast and sediment structure was similar

(Emmett et al- 1987) sediment characteristics alone probably do not provide

enough information to predict either the benthic invertebrate community or

densities along the Oregon-Washington coast

SUMMARY

The Willapa Bay interim disposal site trawl-samples enabled a listing of

the larger benthic organisms and their relative abundances within the study

area However to adequately describe the fish and crab fauna replicate

samples should be taken from each depth contour to ensure statistical

validity

The benthic invertebrate community was high in both number of species and

densities of individuals The dominant species was the tube-dwelling worm

Owenia fusiformis Benthic invertebrate densities were much higher than

typically found in the Washington-Oregon nearshore environment

Sediments were typical of Washington-Oregon nearshore environments that

are exposed to waves and ocean swells Sediments were composed of clean fine

sands with moderate amounts of silt-clay and low amounts of organic matter

The density of benthic invertebrates off Willapa Bay resembled those off

the adjacent Grays Harbor Washington and off Tillamook Bay Oregon These

17

three estuaries have extensive mud flats with macroalgae and eelgrasS- The

cause of the high invertebrate densities is unknown but the contribution of

primary production from the adjacent estuary is a probable factor The areal

extent of the high Invertebrate densities off Willapa Bay Grays Harbor and

Tillaraook Bay is not known and should be defined We recommend that these

areas not be used for the disposal of dredged materials until after more

intensive studies and then only if it can be shown that there are no severe

impacts to the estuarine and marine fisheries

were due to Pacific tomcod which are epibenthic feeders it may be assumed

that they were near shore feeding on epibenthic prey

Benthic Invertebrates

The Willapa Bay benthic invertebrate community was high in both number of

taxa and density The dominant species was Owenia fusiformis The

distribution of this tube-dwelling worm was probably strongly affected by

sediment stability Oliver et al(1980) found tube-building polychaetes

abundant only in deeper water (gtA6 ft) where sediment disturbance due to wave

action is minimal Emmett et al(1987) in their September 198A survey off

Tillamook Bay found low densities of 0^^ fusiformis at 60 ft with highest

densities at 80 and 90 ft The Willapa Bay survey transects began at the 20shy

fathom depth contour and showed species and densities similar to the high

density samples off Tillamook Bay High densities of 0 fusiformis were also

found off Grays Harbor Washington (Pearson et al 1985) adjacent to and

north of Willapa Bay

Tillamook Bay Willapa Bay and Grays Harbor estuaries have extensive mud

flats with macroalgae and eelgrass Trawl tows at the Tillamook Bay and

Willapa Bay interim offshore disposal sites collected large amounts of

estuarine macroalgae Perhaps the export of these estuarine materials

enhances the nearshore benthic community The densities of benthic

invertebrates adjacent to these three estuaries are much higher than typically

found in the Oregon-Washington nearshore environment (Lie and Klsker 1970

Hancock et albull 198A Emmett et al 1987) They may represent unique marine

benthic communities linked to adjacent estuarine primary productionshy

Sediments

Sediments were typical of nearshore environments that are exposed to

waves and ocean swells (Fager 1968) Although sediments have a significant

effect on the distribution and abundance of benthic invertebrates (Gary 1965)

wave disturbance also plays an important role in determining the nearshore

benthic invertebrate community (Oliver et al 1980) Since invertebrate

densities at Willapa and Tillamook bays were much greater than those found at

other disposal sites along the Oregon coast and sediment structure was similar

(Emmett et al- 1987) sediment characteristics alone probably do not provide

enough information to predict either the benthic invertebrate community or

densities along the Oregon-Washington coast

SUMMARY

The Willapa Bay interim disposal site trawl-samples enabled a listing of

the larger benthic organisms and their relative abundances within the study

area However to adequately describe the fish and crab fauna replicate

samples should be taken from each depth contour to ensure statistical

validity

The benthic invertebrate community was high in both number of species and

densities of individuals The dominant species was the tube-dwelling worm

Owenia fusiformis Benthic invertebrate densities were much higher than

typically found in the Washington-Oregon nearshore environment

Sediments were typical of Washington-Oregon nearshore environments that

are exposed to waves and ocean swells Sediments were composed of clean fine

sands with moderate amounts of silt-clay and low amounts of organic matter

The density of benthic invertebrates off Willapa Bay resembled those off

the adjacent Grays Harbor Washington and off Tillamook Bay Oregon These

17

three estuaries have extensive mud flats with macroalgae and eelgrasS- The

cause of the high invertebrate densities is unknown but the contribution of

primary production from the adjacent estuary is a probable factor The areal

extent of the high Invertebrate densities off Willapa Bay Grays Harbor and

Tillaraook Bay is not known and should be defined We recommend that these

areas not be used for the disposal of dredged materials until after more

intensive studies and then only if it can be shown that there are no severe

impacts to the estuarine and marine fisheries

were due to Pacific tomcod which are epibenthic feeders it may be assumed

that they were near shore feeding on epibenthic prey

Benthic Invertebrates

The Willapa Bay benthic invertebrate community was high in both number of

taxa and density The dominant species was Owenia fusiformis The

distribution of this tube-dwelling worm was probably strongly affected by

sediment stability Oliver et al(1980) found tube-building polychaetes

abundant only in deeper water (gtA6 ft) where sediment disturbance due to wave

action is minimal Emmett et al(1987) in their September 198A survey off

Tillamook Bay found low densities of 0^^ fusiformis at 60 ft with highest

densities at 80 and 90 ft The Willapa Bay survey transects began at the 20shy

fathom depth contour and showed species and densities similar to the high

density samples off Tillamook Bay High densities of 0 fusiformis were also

found off Grays Harbor Washington (Pearson et al 1985) adjacent to and

north of Willapa Bay

Tillamook Bay Willapa Bay and Grays Harbor estuaries have extensive mud

flats with macroalgae and eelgrass Trawl tows at the Tillamook Bay and

Willapa Bay interim offshore disposal sites collected large amounts of

estuarine macroalgae Perhaps the export of these estuarine materials

enhances the nearshore benthic community The densities of benthic

invertebrates adjacent to these three estuaries are much higher than typically

found in the Oregon-Washington nearshore environment (Lie and Klsker 1970

Hancock et albull 198A Emmett et al 1987) They may represent unique marine

benthic communities linked to adjacent estuarine primary productionshy

16

Sediments

Sediments were typical of nearshore environments that are exposed to

waves and ocean swells (Fager 1968) Although sediments have a significant

effect on the distribution and abundance of benthic invertebrates (Gary 1965)

wave disturbance also plays an important role in determining the nearshore

benthic invertebrate community (Oliver et al 1980) Since invertebrate

densities at Willapa and Tillamook bays were much greater than those found at

other disposal sites along the Oregon coast and sediment structure was similar

(Emmett et al- 1987) sediment characteristics alone probably do not provide

enough information to predict either the benthic invertebrate community or

densities along the Oregon-Washington coast

SUMMARY

The Willapa Bay interim disposal site trawl-samples enabled a listing of

the larger benthic organisms and their relative abundances within the study

area However to adequately describe the fish and crab fauna replicate

samples should be taken from each depth contour to ensure statistical

validity

The benthic invertebrate community was high in both number of species and

densities of individuals The dominant species was the tube-dwelling worm

Owenia fusiformis Benthic invertebrate densities were much higher than

typically found in the Washington-Oregon nearshore environment

Sediments were typical of Washington-Oregon nearshore environments that

are exposed to waves and ocean swells Sediments were composed of clean fine

sands with moderate amounts of silt-clay and low amounts of organic matter

The density of benthic invertebrates off Willapa Bay resembled those off

the adjacent Grays Harbor Washington and off Tillamook Bay Oregon These

17

three estuaries have extensive mud flats with macroalgae and eelgrasS- The

cause of the high invertebrate densities is unknown but the contribution of

primary production from the adjacent estuary is a probable factor The areal

extent of the high Invertebrate densities off Willapa Bay Grays Harbor and

Tillaraook Bay is not known and should be defined We recommend that these

areas not be used for the disposal of dredged materials until after more

intensive studies and then only if it can be shown that there are no severe

impacts to the estuarine and marine fisheries

Sediments

Sediments were typical of nearshore environments that are exposed to

waves and ocean swells (Fager 1968) Although sediments have a significant

effect on the distribution and abundance of benthic invertebrates (Gary 1965)

wave disturbance also plays an important role in determining the nearshore

benthic invertebrate community (Oliver et al 1980) Since invertebrate

densities at Willapa and Tillamook bays were much greater than those found at

other disposal sites along the Oregon coast and sediment structure was similar

(Emmett et al- 1987) sediment characteristics alone probably do not provide

enough information to predict either the benthic invertebrate community or

densities along the Oregon-Washington coast

SUMMARY

The Willapa Bay interim disposal site trawl-samples enabled a listing of

the larger benthic organisms and their relative abundances within the study

area However to adequately describe the fish and crab fauna replicate

samples should be taken from each depth contour to ensure statistical

validity

The benthic invertebrate community was high in both number of species and

densities of individuals The dominant species was the tube-dwelling worm

Owenia fusiformis Benthic invertebrate densities were much higher than

typically found in the Washington-Oregon nearshore environment

Sediments were typical of Washington-Oregon nearshore environments that

are exposed to waves and ocean swells Sediments were composed of clean fine

sands with moderate amounts of silt-clay and low amounts of organic matter

The density of benthic invertebrates off Willapa Bay resembled those off

the adjacent Grays Harbor Washington and off Tillamook Bay Oregon These

17

three estuaries have extensive mud flats with macroalgae and eelgrasS- The

cause of the high invertebrate densities is unknown but the contribution of

primary production from the adjacent estuary is a probable factor The areal

extent of the high Invertebrate densities off Willapa Bay Grays Harbor and

Tillaraook Bay is not known and should be defined We recommend that these

areas not be used for the disposal of dredged materials until after more

intensive studies and then only if it can be shown that there are no severe

impacts to the estuarine and marine fisheries

three estuaries have extensive mud flats with macroalgae and eelgrasS- The

cause of the high invertebrate densities is unknown but the contribution of

primary production from the adjacent estuary is a probable factor The areal

extent of the high Invertebrate densities off Willapa Bay Grays Harbor and

Tillaraook Bay is not known and should be defined We recommend that these

areas not be used for the disposal of dredged materials until after more

intensive studies and then only if it can be shown that there are no severe

impacts to the estuarine and marine fisheries
