Natural stable isotope analysis of bivalve midden material from the Mink Island site, part of Katmai National Park and Preserve contrasted with comparable analyses of modern material from the same site has revealed marked differences in ocean conditions and climate through time. Shells examined were of the butter clam (Saxidomus giganteus) and mussel (Mytilus trossulus).
