The distribution of total Hg (Hgt) and reactive (HgR) in Narragansett Bay, fresh water tributaries and point source discharges was determined during a synoptic survey, carried out in April, 1986. A Hg budget which includes fluvial inputs and atmospheric Hg deposition was constructed and the estuarine behavior of Hg assessed.
