“…Municipal sewage has also been a frequent topic of urban mangrove studies, many of which have reported anthropogenic nitrogen enrichment in these systems, as evident in higher foliar and detrital δ 15 N isotopes (Cifuentes et al, ; Dehairs et al, ; Fry & Cormier, ; Jones, O'Donohue, Udy, & Dennison, ; Mohamed et al, ; Wolters, Gillis, Bouma, Katwijk, & Ziegler, ) and lower foliar carbon to nitrogen ratios (C:N; Mohamed et al, ; Wolters et al, ). Many studies also report high heavy metal contamination in urban mangrove sediments, attributable not only to increased metal inputs associated with urban land use, but also to the high metal affinity of the mangrove benthos (Bayen, ; Cavalcante, Sousa, Nascimento, Silveira, & Freire, ; Defew, Mair, & Guzman, ; Diallo & Ishiga, ; Harris & Santos, ; Inglis & Kross, ; Lai et al, ; Li, Xu, Chai, & Qiu, ; Oliveira, Souza‐Santos, Silva, & Macedo, ; Pagliosa & Barbosa, ; Shriadah, ; Tam & Wong, ; Wasserman, Freitas‐Pinto, & Amouroux, ). These metals are assimilated by mangroves and partitioned throughout their biomass (MacFarlane, Koller, & Blomberg, ), with some reported influences on their physiology and morphology (Liu et al, ; MacFarlane, ; MacFarlane & Burchett, ).…”

Aim The aim was to quantify the influence of urban land use and urban populations on mangrove systems around the world over the past four decades. Location Global. Time period 1997–2015. Major taxa studied Avicennia, Laguncularia, Rhizophora, Aves, Actinopterygii, Crustacea and Mollusca. Methods This review extracts results of mangrove studies on forest cover and structure, nutrient dynamics, sediment contamination and faunal community assemblages conducted around the world between 1997 and 2015. These observations are then correlated with surrounding social–ecological spatial characteristics pertaining to urbanization. Results Mangrove coverage in large cities is mostly decreasing, and at a greater rate than means for corresponding countries. Both expanding urbanization and existing agriculture are most strongly correlated with mangrove losses, which are primarily occurring 5–10 km from urban areas. Along a gradient of surrounding urban land use, mangrove leaf δ15N content increases, and leaf carbon to nitrogen ratios decrease. Sediment concentrations of almost all examined heavy metals are strongly and positively correlated with both surrounding urban and mangrove extent. The diversity of subsistence fisheries increases significantly with surrounding mangrove extent. Worm diversity decreases with increasing surrounding urbanness (urban index), and mangrove specialist bird diversity increases with increasing surrounding urban coverage as well as with mangrove coverage. Main conclusions Mangroves increasingly coexist within highly anthropogenic landscapes along urbanized coasts. Most ecological reports of these systems, however, lack quantified representations of the urban landscape, such as population density or impervious surface coverage. The results of this analysis suggest that some of the reported patterns of forest coverage, nitrogen dynamics, heavy metal contamination and faunal community assemblages in isolated urban mangroves are systemic across the world. These findings are particularly pertinent to 21st century tropical coastlines, which will see some of the greatest urbanization rates over the next century and will guide urban mangrove ecology towards the development of more synergistic social–ecological systems.

“…Elevados níveis de contaminação por metais pesados já foram registrados (MACEDO et al, 2007). OLIVEIRA et al (2014) indicaram o efeito dos metais Zn e Cr sobre a toxicidade dos sedimentos no Parque dos Manguezais situado próximo a porção superior do SERC. Uma grande preocupação em relação à introdução de metais pesados no ambiente deve-se ao fato de que os mesmos podem bioacumular e causar efeitos tóxicos para diferentes espécies da biota e para o homem (TAVARES E CARVALHO, 1992;VIRGA et al, 2007).…”

“…Testes de toxicidade são comumente utilizados para avaliar a qualidade de sedimentos estuarinos (ABESSA et al, 2012;ARAÚJO-CASTRO et al, 2013;OLIVEIRA et al, 2014). Dentre os organismos utilizados nos bioensaios destacam-se os copépodos bentônicos.…”

“…Apesar da intensa degradação, trata-se de um ambiente de relevante importância ecológica e socioeconômica. Entretanto, ainda são poucos os estudos visando avaliar o grau de contaminação e os efeitos da poluição neste estuário sobre a biota (SERICANO et al, 1995;FERNANDES et al, 1999;LIMA et al, 2002;MACEDO et al, 2007;OLIVEIRA et al, 2014). Dentre os diversos contaminantes presentes, destacam-se os hidrocarbonetos policíclicos aromáticos, uma vez que que alcançam os estuários através de diversas fontes, tais como derrames de óleo, queima de combustíveis fósseis e de efluentes domésticos (FAVROD, 2012;CABRAL, 2014;ZANARDI-LAMARDO et al, 2014).…”

Part of the contaminants that reach the estuaries are deposited in sediments. These compounds may affect survival, fecundity and development of benthic organisms. This study aimed to evaluate the toxicity of the surface sediments from the Capibaribe Estuarine System (CES) on benthic copepod Tisbe biminiensis. Sediment samples were collected in five stations of the CES. Dissolved/dispersed petroleum hydrocarbons (DDPHs) was measured in bottom water samples from the same sites, to estimate the recent input of such compounds. Sub-lethal effects on T. biminiensis were observed for samples collected in front of the Harbor of Recife, in the northern mouth of the Capibaribe River and in the upper portion of the estuary. The DDPHs concentrations recorded in the CES suggest chronic contamination and pointed out the domestic and industrial effluents, and harbor activities, as the main source to this system.

“…Oliveira et al (2014) used solid phase sediment bioassays with copepods Tisbe biminiensis to assess the toxic effects of the sediments and trace metal analyses to measure trace metal concentrations (Cr, Zn, Mn, Fe, Cu, Pb, Co, and Ni) in the sediments from an urban mangrove patch in Brazil. They reported lethal and sublethal effect concentrations.…”

This review covers selected 2014 articles on the biological effects of pollutants and human physical disturbances on marine and estuarine plants, animals, ecosystems and habitats. The review, based largely on journal articles, covers field and laboratory measurement activities (bioaccumulation of contaminants, field assessment surveys, toxicity testing and biomarkers) as well as pollution issues of current interest including endocrine disrupters, emerging contaminants, wastewater discharges, dredging and disposal, etc. Special emphasis is placed on effects of oil spills and marine debris due in part to the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil blowout in the Gulf of Mexico and the 2011 Japanese tsunami. Several topical areas reviewed in the past (ballast water and ocean acidification) were dropped this year. The focus of this review is on effects, not pollutant fate and transport. There is considerable overlap across subject areas (e.g.some bioaccumulation papers may be cited in other topical categories). Please use keyword searching of the text to locate related but distributed papers. Use this review only as a guide and please consult the original papers before citing them.
