Description:

As part of the NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program (CRCP) jurisdictional priority gathering, local agencies in Guam identified Cocos Lagoon as an area potentially impacted by land-based sources of pollution. The US Coast Guard operated a Long Range Navigation (LORAN) station on Cocos Island at the southern end of Cocos Lagoon from 1944 to 1963. Disposal of materials from the operation of the station are suspected of resulting in chemical contamination of the island and surrounding waters. To help address this, the NOAA/ NOS National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS) collected sediment and fish samples for chemical contaminant analysis throughout Cocos Lagoon in May 2015, with local partners.
