ABSTRACT:
Marine biological assemblages are typically naturally variable across multiple spatial and temporal scales.

Therefore, an unambiguous assessment of the effects of point-source impacts on marine communities remains the first requirement for 1) determining whether any management action is necessary, and 2) if so, planning management strategies
