Zusammenfassung:A review of research on ocean dumping in the New York Bight is provided. This history constitutes a case study in which scientific findings formed a basis for decision making that resulted in legislation ending ocean disposal of sewage sludge and certain chemical wastes. Aspects of ecosystem recovery are also described. Elaboration of this case study may suggest alternatives to ocean disposal of other types of wastes and in different parts of the world's oceans.
