abstract

  • Three metal-rich geochemical anomalies have been identified in St. John, USVI. Marine water and sediments from Fish Bay had higher concentrations of some metals than the other bays, suggesting that the Fish Bay geochemical anomaly may contribute significant quantities of metals to the nearby marine environment. -from Authors
