Marine Pollution Bulletin
Fishing constitutes one of the most significant threats to marine biodiversity and ecosystem function, documented by a growing body of information on the numerous impacts to populations, community structure, and habitats (Dayton et al., 1995; Roberts, 1995; Jennings and Polunin, 1996). Besides the more obvious effects on species population structure, fishing activities may also reduce the struc...
متن کاملMarine Pollution Bulletin
Macroalgal blooms of Hypnea musciformis and Ulva fasciata in coastal waters of Maui only occur in areas of substantial anthropogenic nutrient input, sources of which include wastewater effluent via injection wells, leaking cesspools and agricultural fertilizers. Algal dN signatures were used to map anthropogenic nitrogen through coastal surveys (island-wide and fine-scale) and algal deployments...
متن کاملMarine birds and plastic pollution
The intrinsic properties and widespread presence of plastic particles in the marine environment have profound effects on birds inhabiting the world's oceans. Industrial and user-plastics composed of polystyrene, polypropylene, polyethylene, styrofoam, and polyvinyl chloride are the most prevalent forms of plastic marine pollution. Their dispersal and accumulation, in average densities of 1000 t...
متن کاملChemical Pollution and Marine Mammals
Between 1990 and 2008, a close collaboration between the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (Cefas) and the UK Cetacean Strandings Investigation Programme (CSIP) has generated one of the largest time-series datasets on chemical contaminants in a marine mammal species the UK-stranded harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena). This dataset shows that some organochlorine pesticid...
متن کاملMarine pollution. Plastic waste inputs from land into the ocean.
Plastic debris in the marine environment is widely documented, but the quantity of plastic entering the ocean from waste generated on land is unknown. By linking worldwide data on solid waste, population density, and economic status, we estimated the mass of land-based plastic waste entering the ocean. We calculate that 275 million metric tons (MT) of plastic waste was generated in 192 coastal ...
