National Status and Trends: Guanica, Puerto Rico Contaminants Data

Description

This project assesses chemical contaminant status in sediment and coral tissues (Porites astroides) collected in and around Guanica Bay, Puerto Rico in 2009. Parameters monitored include sediment and coral tissue chemistry for over 100 organic and inorganic contaminants; and Clostridium perfringens (pathogen) concentrations. NOAA's National Status and Trends program regularly quantifies PAHs, PCBs, chlorinated pesticides including DDT and its metabolites, TBT and its metabolites, and trace elements nationwide.
