If the copper pollution level in
Saanich Inlet was 20 limes what it
is, the damage would be
devasting, according to -Frank

‘Whitney, resident. manager of

Cepex.

Controlled -Ecosystem

Pollution. Experiment (Cepex),

is a ten year $10 million project
started last. August by the In-
ternational Decade of Ocear.
Exploration, a central funding
agency located in. Washington
D.C.

An experiment just completed
looked at the effects of copper
pollution on an_ enclosed
ecological system, Whitney said.

The enclosed system was a bag
filled with water from the inlet
and copper was introduced into it
allowing the scientists to observe
the influences of a pollutant in a
contained area, he said.

- The experiment lasted 30 days
and resulted in small shrimp-like

‘organisms and _ jellyfish .dying

within a week, he said.

“This would. be the result if
industrial pollution was 20 times
worse in the inlet and-in some
areas where more effluent
already exists five or 10 times the

“manent employees

THE REVIEW

CEPEX COMPLETES PRELIMINARY EXPERIMENT

10 observe permanent effects.
Whitney said.

This was a preliminary ex-
periment using quarter-sized
bags, he said, adding the full-size
experiment will bein September.

Another quarter-sized ex-
periment will begin Aug. 1 to
examine the effects of _ hydro
carbons (oil spills, motor boat
oil) on marine life in the area.
“The key to the experiments
are. the bags which keep the
pollutant . and* sea-water con-
aining organisms in a confined
urea.’

The funding comes from an
international organization in
Washington D.C. and is reviewed
every two years. Whitney said.
adding as long as our research
produces tangible. results the
funds will continue to flow.

10 EMPLOYEES

The facility has four. per-
and
summer employees, he said.’

The .employees maintain. the
operation. and take the samples

GROWTH SLOWED

Plant growth definitely was
slowed up by the pollutant but the
experiment was not.long enough
