Figure 2 Location of sampling sites. *1: Calvi, 2: Lumio, 3 Saint-Florent, 4: Nonza, 5: Macinaggio and 6: Bastia; divided into "Zones homogènes" of the coast according the "Agence de l'eau" (France).

Figure 3 Metal concentrations in P. oceanica dead sheaths sampled in the Bay of Calvi. Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Cd and Pb concentrations as a function of lepidochronological years were expressed in μg g_DW^-1(mean ± standard deviation).

..................................................

Figure 4 Metal concentrations in P. oceanica dead sheaths sampled in front of Lumio. Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Cd and Pb concentrations as a function of lepidochronological years were expressed in μg g_DW^-1(mean ± standard deviation).

Figure 5 Metal concentrations in P. oceanica dead sheaths sampled in front of Saint-Florent. Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Cd and Pb concentrations as a function of lepidochronological years were expressed in μg g_DW^-1(mean ± standard deviation).
