Mass emissions of representative contaminants discharged to the ocean off Palos Verdes, 1971 to 1992. canyon to the northwest and the San Pedro sea valley to the southeast separate the Palos Verdes shelf from adjacent bays. The slope begins at approximately 75 m water depth; here the slope changes from near 1° to 2 to 10°. Seasonal upwelling occurs particularly on the downcoast (southeastern) side of the Palos Verdes headland, bringing colder water and nutrients to upper waters (Grove and Sonu 1983). These natural features contribute to observed oceanographic and biological variability, both within the sampling grid and compared to the rest of the Southern California Bight. Sediment character, food resources, and habitat quality also vary over space.
