The concentrations of dissolved oxygen and inorganic orthophosphate at a single location in the main basin of Puget Sound over the period 1934–1973 show no long term change that can be related to man’s increasing discharge of wastes. A change in concentration in annual mean values of dissolved oxygen and inorganic orthophosphate can however be related to variations in the freshwater content and the influx of seawater into the sound.
