Abstract:
"Reduce nutrient run-off to coral reefs by testing 100 detergents for reactive and total phosphate content. A total of 138 different types of detergent and soap products were tested for Phosphorus concentrations. Water samples from seven streams were collected and analyzed for orthophosphate and surfactants. A foreign detergent and soap identification guide was created for use by the public and American Samoa governmental departments. To help with public awareness 5 TV commercials were created and provided to the local Television station for air play. One 30 minute Under the Waves of American Samoa video was produced on Nutrient Pollution and the Coral Reef Ecosystem."
