Monitoring the Effect of Nearshore Development and Production in the Beaufort Sea

The Arctic Nearshore Impact Monitoring in Development Area (ANIMIDA) project was initiated to monitor effects of nearshore development and production in the Beaufort Sea, Alaska. This program was expanded in 2004 with the 5-year Continuation of ANIMIDA (CANIMIDA). Contaminant levels are assessed in sediment, water, and biota, and geophysical measurements are being made to determine the sources and fate of natural and anthropogenic hydrocarbons and metals.
