Heavy metal concentrations were determined in sediment and bivalve samples from Marovo Lagoon in the Solomon Islands. In the sediments, heavy metal levels ranged from 10 ± 3-47 ± 2 μg/g Cd, 25 ± 4-351 ± 5 μg/g Cr, 145 ± 3-418 ± 7 μg/g Cu and 20 ± 3-371 ± 5 μg/g Pb. When compared to the baseline values measured in a 1991 study of the same lagoon, a simple relative ratio in the range of 2-43 was noted for all metals in sediments as compared to baseline and confirms significant anthropogenic influence. The heavy metal contamination of b
