The focus of this research is on the abundance of nutrients and which non-toxic heavy metals concentrations in estuarine eelgrass (Zostera marina L.). Eelgrass beds are an important factor in the marine environment, providing a secure habitat for marine life to forge, obtain shelter, spawn, and stabilize the sediment. Also, eelgrass beds reduce costal erosion, meaning healthy eelgrass beds maintain stability in the marine ecosystem. Nutrients and heavy metal concentration is an important element to eelgrass health. Eelgrass plants rely on nutrient abundance to fuel growth, and non-toxic heavy metals in the sediment are absorbed by the plants. Previous research has shown that productive eelgrass beds reduce coastal erosion and cycle carbon dioxide and nutrients into the surrounding ecosystem, acting as a filter for an estuarine habitat. Data collected by the Ocean Research College Academy (ORCA) between 2009 and 2017 were analyzed. It was hypothesized that phosphate and nitrate in the water column would be most abundant during the cold seasons due to high intake of nutrients during the spring and summer, and heavy metal concentration would be more abundant during the spring and summer due to industrial runoff. Results support the original hypothesis, as the data indicate that the highest nutrient abundance occurred December-February each year. Phosphate levels at Site 1 had an abundance of 2.47 [PO4] μM in December of 2010, which was the highest phosphate level observed. The lowest phosphate abundance throughout the year occurred during the spring of each year. Arsenic, copper, zinc and lead were found to be the most common non-toxic metals concentrated in the eelgrass, which also appeared to have some seasonal influence, likely do to industrial runoff during the spring .
