Overview
(1) Routine field surveys will be conducted to obtain physical, chemical and biological data in Onagawa Bay and they will be analyzed using GIS and other geo-statistical methods. (2) Archived data from Onagawa Nuclear Power Plant Annual Survey Reports will be assessed and subsets of relevant physical, chemical and biological data (1990 onwards) will be extracted and integrated into the whole analysis.
