Figure 9 shows the declines for sea water at 12 localities.
Variability was moderate except for the low values of early
points for the ocean reef at Belle.
The slopes were steeper
than for meter readings, soil, or beach sand at most localities.
At Belle, omitting the early ocean reef collections, the slopes
