"The southern tip of The Baja California peninsula is free of sources of industrial pollutants, but studies on plankton and sea-skaters have shown high levels of cadmium, iron, and zinc (Martin and Broenkow 1975; Cheng 1976). Natural processes as atmospheric wash-out or eroded trace-metal-rich land have been suggested to explain such anomalous readings (Cheng 1976). Much urban activity is found in the south of Bahia de La Paz (Gulf of California), where no information about levels of trace metals in sediments is available. The littoral transport on this bay has built up a sand barrier and formed a coastal lagoon named Ensenada de La Paz. This coastal lagoon has been described as a sediment trap (Lechuga Devéze et al. 1986), and has received much man-made influence, suggesting that this southern portion af Bahia de La Paz could be an effective tracemetal trap also. This work seeks to study the trace metal accumulation in sediments in this area, and contributes to the identification of possible sources of pollution in the Gulf of California." | |
