Abstract
Estuaries are among the environmentally most heavily impacted coastal ecosystems (Lewis et al., 2001). Sediment and water quality in estuaries have been found to be greatly influenced by urbanization and industrialization (Feng et al., 2004; Ramessur, 2004; Sarkar et al., 2004; Cave et al., 2005). Because of the ever increasing human activities in coastal areas there is a continued need for a better understanding of pollution in these estuaries. In the Pensacola, FL area the local estuaries have been an integral part of life and have been the focus over the years of mounting concerns as recipients of sewage, stormwater, and industrial releases, particularly from several Superfund sites.
