Marine reclamation: recovery of the sea floor community following mine tailing discharge Taylor, Laura
Abstract
Information on benthic colonization will further improve our understanding of the long-term impacts of mine tailing discharge upon benthic communities. Such knowledge is required to determine the recovery rate of benthic communities, and in establishing whether they eventually return to their predischarge state, or if a new and different community results. Further, benthic colonization studies may be useful in ascertaining if, and how, to diminish impacts by providing necessary background information for the development of reclamation and mitigation procedures. Thus, through implementation of sound resource management practices, it may be possible to substantially improve benthic habitat. Environmental regulatory agencies and industry may also refer to benthic colonization research when designing monitoring procedures, and establishing regulations for future marine tailing disposal systems.

Information on benthic colonization will
further improve our understanding of the
long-term impacts of mine tailing discharge
upon benthic communities. Such knowledge is
required to determine the recovery rate of
benthic communities, and in establishing
whether they eventually return to their predischarge
state, or if a new and different
community results. Further, benthic colonization
studies may be useful in ascertaining
if, and how, to diminish impacts by providing
necessary background information for the development
of reclamation and mitigation procedures.
Thus, through implementation of
sound resource management practices, it may
be possible to substantially improve benthic
habitat. Environmental regulatory agencies
and industry may also refer to benthic colonization
research when designing monitoring procedures, and establishing regulations for future marine tailing disposal systems.
