Description:

"This document presents a comprehensive overview of results from a recent baseline assessment of Guánica Bay, Puerto Rico and its surrounding coral reef ecosystem. The report details: (1) a biogeographic assessment of the coral reef ecosystem outside the bay; (2) contaminant (e.g., PAHs, PCBs, pesticides, heavy metals) magnitudes and distributions in surface sediments (inside the bay, outside the bay and in the watershed streams) and in coral tissues (mustard hill coral, Porites astreoides ); and (3) spatial and temporal patterns in sedimentation rates and surface water nutrient concentrations"--About this document.
