Abstract
Raw sewage and industrial waste have been dumped into sensitive estuaries, bays, and sounds<br>for centuries. The full extents of the resulting sludge deposits are largely unknown, because they move<br>in response to tidal and long-shore currents, and because they are often buried by younger inert<br>sediments.
