Rivers were North Stann Creek (NSC), Sittee (SR), South Stann Creek (SSC), Mango Creek (MBC/MC), Monkey (MR), Golden Stream (GS), Rio Grande (RG), and Sarstoon (SAR). Five samples were collected at each transect from each river mouth out to waters overlying coral reefs where possible. Sampling sites were spaced approximately 2-3 miles apart. Samples for pesticide analysis were collected during four periods encompassing the dry and rainy seasons: February-March, May-June, August, December. During the May-June and August sampling periods, separate samples were collected for measurement of glyphosate and paraquat and for analysis of lead and mercury"--Summary.
