I'm searching for data regarding the environmental concentration of different metals (Cu, Ni, Zn,...) in the marine. For Europe there are several databases (ICES, Emodnet,...). However, I would like to have information on the waterconcentration in other continents/countries (e.g. North America, Australia, Japan, Africa,...)
Can anyone point me in the right direction (website), or let me know if there are databases that are free to the public?
thanks in advance
There are’nt databases that are free to the public in north Africa. But there are several theses of doctorate in this field at westhern algerian coast.
I send these two articles to you….

For the US check out:
US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Geospatial Platform this has a sediment sampling database which is available to the public: http://geoplatform.usace.army.mil/home/item.html?id=e866b2951a694ce4b934114044c27c8d#!
Also try the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and usSEABED in their Coastal & Marine Geology Program: http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/usseabed/
For Australia try Geoscience Australia's Marine Sediments Database:http://www.ga.gov.au/oracle/mars/
You might find good data in open digital data repository such as http://datadryad.org/
There is no database on a moroccan scale neither on a north African scale. Then, for Morocco, the way that may be sure is to make a bibliographic search on the web using some key words such: metallic pollution on the Atlantic coast of Morocco, metallic contamination in lagoons and estuaries of Morocco,....
there is no database for such concentrations but you can search published papers and M.Sc and PhD and you will get all you want just search by country.
