This final report is submitted to the John F. Kennedy Space Center, NASA, in fulfillment of the requirements of NASA Grant number NGR 10-015-008, dated April 11, 1973 and Amendments 1 through 7 thereto. The purpose of this report is to set forth the work done under the Grant and to document the findings drawn from the data so obtained. For the convenience of the user, this report has been organized as a series of individual reports by field of investigation. There are separate reports on water chemistry, microbiology, benthic populations, sediments and current studies. While this causes some repetition of background data from chapter to chapter, each chapter is thus more complete within itself and more readily understood. The material presented is further divided into three volumes, again as a matter of convenience. Volume I contains a short history of the project, and chapters setting forth the findings and conclusions of the Principal Investigators. Volume II presents those Master's Theses that were written as a direct result of and were in direct support of the overall project. These theses are organized by fields into Sections corresponding to the Chapters of Volume I. Volume III, Appendices, is a compilation of data gathered during the project, and is published in a limited number of copies to preserve and to make available to future researchers the details of the baseline conditions as they existed during the period of this investigation.
