Principal Component Analysis (PCA) for the four species: Dictyota dictyota; Thalassia stipulacea; Halophila filiforme and Echninoderm (Lytechinus variegatus) in the three sites (BT, CA and CE) between all the metallic elements (Al, As, B, Ba, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Ni, P, Pb, S, Sb, Sc, Se, Sr, Ti, V, Zr and Zn). Color represents different years in 2021 (red ellipse) and 2022 (blue ellipse) and shape represents distance from Sargassum accumulation near (circle) and far (triangle).
