- Hydrocarbon and hydrographic data from southern Hecate Strait : water and sediment samples collected in September, 2003
- abstract: This program had two scientific objectives. First, a west coast-protocol for the analysis of hydrocarbon parameters in sediment and water samples was developed based on previous work in organic geochemistry and environmental fate and effects studies of oil in marine environments. Second, a small pilot study was conducted during an oceanographic expedition in Hecate Strait aboard the CCGS John P. Tully from September 15-21, 2003 to determine the natural background hydrocarbon concentrations in both the sediment and overlying water column prior to any offshore oil and gas development in the Hecate Strait region.
