The effects of terrestrial runoff on the Bellairs fringing reef environment were assessed by a study of water quality. This study is partitioned into two components. The first documents terrestrial discharge of sediments and nutrients into coastal waters and maps the resulting seawater quality by analyzing samples taken from a grid of stations. Terrestrial water samples were analyzed for turbidity, total suspended solids (TSS), nitrate-nitrite-nitrogen (NOx-N), and soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP). Seawater was analyzed for turbidity, TSS, and salinity while sedimentation rates were measured upon the seafloor. Results indicated that on all four events, water above the reef exceeded the guidelines for turbidity, TSS, or both. Post-dis...
