This research was initiated to determine the rates of uptake, by a Thalassia testudinum Konig/mangrove ecosystem, over a 125-day period, of Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn. The metals were leached from sewage sludge by flowing seawater (8.4 L min-I) and subsequently traversed the model system. The largest net uptake of metals occurred in the "fouling organisms" where Cd, Pb, and Zn uptake closely paralleled the net loss of metals from the sewage sludge. This document is the accepted manuscript version of a published work that appeared in final form in Environmental Science & Technology after peer review and technical editing by the publisher.
