Research Abstract

UV filters, organotin compounds, and organoclorines in coral feeding species and seawaters from Okinawa and adjacent islands were analyzed, in order to understand the impacts of these chemicals on the coral community. High concentrations of UV filters were detected in the seawaters from the beaches, whereas some UV filters were also detected at the coral reefs with lower concentrations. UV filters and organochlorines were detected from Drupella conus. The concentration of UV filters in Acanthaster planci showed relationship with the distance between the beaches and the sampling sites.
