Survey Description
In August 2015, samples of seaweed (rockweed [fucus gardneri]) were collected at 34 stations around Howe Sound, southwest British Columbia. Samples (~100 g) were plucked from the rocks at intervals of 2-5 km along the shore, with additional samples where streams were seen draining into the sea. A total of 43 samples (including controls) were submitted for geochemical analysis.
The data are published in Explore (Newsletter for the Association of Applied Geochemists), no. 178.
