    • NCCOS Assessment: Water Quality in Fagatele Bay, National Marine Sanctuary of American Samoa, from 2019-04-22 to 2019-04-26 (NCEI Accession 0247462)

    Metadata Updated: November 1, 2023

    This dataset represents water quality chemistry information for Fagatele Bay, a unit of the National Marine Sanctuary of American Samoa (NMSAS). Contaminant groups quantified were: pesticides, personal care products, pharmaceuticals and hydrocarbons. Trace metals analysis of benthic sediments was also conducted. Additionally, standard suite of nutrient parameters (nitrate, nitrite, ammonium, urea, total nitrogen, orthophosphate, total phosphorus and silica), as well as tracers of human waste (sucralose and caffeine) were quantified at eight targeted sites (bottom samples) during the same time period.
