Description:"This report contains an initial characterization of coral contaminants in southwest Puerto Rico, and is the second report from a project to characterize chemical contaminants in the coral reefs in southwest Puerto Rico, and assess linkages between contaminants and coral condition. The first report (Pait et al., 2007) detailed chemical contamination in sediments and included an assessment of the correlations between chemical contaminants and coral species richness. The analysis of chemical contaminants in coral tissues represents an extension of the capabilities of NOAA's National Status and Trends (NS&T) Program which has monitored the Nation's coastal waters for over 20 years"--Introduction.
