Objectives | The first of a three cruise programme aimed at determining the concentrations of biogeochemically active metals which are potential pollutants in coastal waters. The three cruises will allow assessment to be made of how metal concentrations vary in relation to the biological and other processes which create the well documented annual cycle in nutrient element concentrations in coastal waters. |
