Abstract
⺠Concentrations of PAHs in sediment from marinas exceeded the threshold effect level. ⺠Survival of Hyalella azteca was reduced when exposed to sediments from marinas. ⺠Macroinvertebrate abundance and richness were similar at reference and marina sites. ⺠Abundance of PAH-sensitive amphipods (Diporeia spp.) was reduced at marinas. ⺠A weight-of-evidence approach was required to demonstrate ecological effects.
