This indicator reports on toxic contaminants in Puget Sound's nearshore, intertidal habitats. Uncontaminated mussels are translocated to nearshore locations for a set time period to measure the uptake of chemicals from nearshore waters. This will enable understanding of contaminants in nearshore habitats and whether our actions to prevent and reduce these contaminants are working.
