  1. Confidence in Assessments Workshop in Anchorage, Alaska 26 and 27 March, 2008

  2. Lines of Evidence Environmental Compartments Assessment of Effects Trajectory

  3. Evaluating Effects Environmental Compartments • Degree Of Effect • Short and long term impacts • Area Of Effect • Size of impact zone small or large • Rate Of Recovery Components within Food Web (s)

  4. Degree and Area of Effect within the Environmental Compartments • Sea Surface including Microlayer • Neuston, marine birds, marine mammals • Pelagic Zone • Marine mammals, invertebrates, fish • Sediment • Benthic community, demersal fish and invertebrates, marine mammals and other species • Near Shore and Intertidal • Juvenile fish and invertebrates, shellfish, birds, terrestrial animals, anadromous and forage fish

  5. Rate of Recovery

  6. Predicting Dispersion

  7. Establish a Process: How many tests and how many times Different phyla Food web components Realistic conditions Endpoints Transport, fate, and changing toxicity Level of Testing Required to Predict Impact to Receptors
