Iron rich Saharan Dust from the Northern Regions of Africa
is constantly blown westward to the Caribbean Sea every year. It is
widely believed that this soil, or rather dust, has caused the massive
drop in biodiversity in Caribbean reefs. I would like to know how
much Saharan soil is usually present within a section of reef. For
instance, how much may be present within 1 square yard or 1 sqaure
meter? I am trying to quantify the amount of Saharan Dust a coral
colony may come into contact during the hurricane season. THANK YOU
Sincerely,
