This paper provides an overview of different methods of assessing the trace metal (TM)
contamination status of sediments affected by anthropogenic interference. The geochemical …

Microplastic accumulation on marine macrophytes, such as macroalgae and seagrasses, is
a potentially critical but overlooked pathway by which microplastics enter the marine food …

Although coastal water marine algae have been popularly used by others as indicators of
heavy metal pollution, data within the Bay of Bengal for the estuarine Cox's Bazar region …

Blue carbon ecosystems (BCEs), located at the land-sea interface, provide critical ecological
services including the buffering of anthropogenic pollutants. Understanding the interactions …

Seagrasses are important foundation species in coastal ecosystems, and they provide food
and habitat that supports high biodiversity. However, seagrasses are increasingly subjected …

In this study we present an elemental profile of 46 edible seaweed samples purchased in
the United States. The seaweeds were grouped in 13 subgroups/species based on DNA …

Coastal trace metal contamination is of serious concern and the role of new bioindicator
species in monitoring of trace metals is essential. The present study quantified the …

The industrial park of Quintero Bay (QB) in the central coast of Chile was established in the
1960s, presents high levels of pollution due to the industrial activity, and it is known as one …

Estuaries are often considered to be the filters of pollutants from the land-derived outflows of
freshwater to open seawater. Oysters are efficient bioaccumulators of metals in the estuarine …
