“…Grain size is one of the most important factors controlling sediments capacity for concentrating and retaining metals. 7,8 It is well known that elements are not homogeneously distributed over the various grain size fractions. 29 There is a strong relation between an increase in metal concentration and a decrease in grain size.…”

“…The sediments are usually the ultimate sink of heavy metals discharged into the aquatic environments, therefore, analysis of heavy metals (and other contaminants) in the sediments offers a more convenient and more accurate means of detecting and assessing the degree of pollution. 1,2 Sediments serve as the ultimate sink for many contaminants and as a result, they pose the highest risk to the aquatic life as a source of pollution. 3 The sediments are the main repository and source of heavy metals in the marine environment and that they play a major role in the transport and storage of potentially hazardous metals.…”

“…16 These beach deposits are mainly derived from mountainous regions, which drain from the Yemen highlands to the sea through numerous valleys. 8,[17][18][19] The Red Sea environments receive either locally or more widely, a variety of stresses as a result of human activities. The different anthropogenic activities included recreational resorts, urban agglomeration, marine shipping, activities of phosphate industry and fishing ports, as well as limited freshwater and sewage sources.…”

The study area extends from Al-Haymah to south Al-Mokha along Red Sea and covering a distance of about 90 Km along the shore line, Int J Hydro. 2019;3(2):159-173.Ecological risk assessment of heavy metals in coastal sediments between Al-Haymah and Al-Mokha, south red sea, Yemen Abstract The area between Al-Haymah and Al-Mokha on the Red Sea of Yemen is a promising region for future tourism development. It is also characterized by population activities, especially fishing in more than one location and there is a commercial port in Al-Mokha. The aim of the present study is to investigate the distribution of heavy metals (Cu, Cd, Zn, Ni and Pb) and Ecological Risk Assessment to assess the contamination levels of the coastal surface sediments. Distribution and ecological risk for Cu, Cd, Zn, Ni and Pb in sediment samples collected from 11 regions (37 stations) in the coasts of Yemen were studied. The results showed that the most of sediments are sand (83.83%), the content of organic matter was low (1.4%) and rich of calcium carbonate (56.1%), while the heavy metals arranged according to their abundance as follows: Zn>Cu>Ni>Pb>Cd. The contamination factor values for heavy metals arranged according to their dangerous as follows: Cd>Cu>Zn>Pb>Ni, and the potential ecological risk index values for heavy metals, according to the order evaluation of pollution in the various regions as follows: Qataba>Al-Mokha>North Al-Mokha>Al-Ruays>Abu-Zahr>South Al-Mokha>Zahari>Al-Khowkhah>Al-Haymah>Yokhtul>Moushij. The present study shows that the coastal sediments in this part of the Red Sea coast of Yemen are not Polluted by heavy metals (Cu, Zn, Ni and Pb), but it heavily polluted by Cd.

This study investigates the hydrographic parameters and contamination status of zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), vanadium (V), and nickel (Ni), etc. in surface water, surficial sediments, and mangrove tree tissues (Avicennia marina). Samples were collected from nine sites in Al-Budhai area of Red Sea coast of Jeddah. The trend values of metal contamination factor were Ni (3.23) > Cd (2.99) > Pb (2.86) > Zn (2.69). Translocation factor (TF) of the metals showed Avicennia marina tissues have a dominant role in the phytoremediation process through toxic metal uptake.

the highest concentrations of toxic heavy metals in marine environment are found in sediments [1,6,7].Coastal sediments are important hosts for heavy metal pollution and play an important role in determining the fate and effects of a wide variety of contaminants [8]. Vertical concentration gradients of heavy metals in sediment cores can provide temporal information about the perturbation in the aquatic environment [9]. The distribution of metals in sediment is very important from the point of view of environmental pollution because sediment concentrates metals from aquatic systems and represents an appropriate medium to monitor contamination due to sediments are the principal sinks for heavy metals in an aquatic system [1,7,10].
