The strategy reevaluation found no evidence of sever chemical contamination impact that are baywide like other problems, such as excess nutrients which has caused declines in underwater grasses and low dissoslved oxygen levels. The reevaluation did, however, clearly document severe localizaed toxicity problems, adverse effects from chemical contamination on aquatic organisms in areas previously considered unaffected, and widespread low levels of chemical contaminants in all Bay habitats sampled.
