Saugata Datta
This review focuses on the biological effects of pollutants, including human physical disturbances, on marine and estuarine plants, animals, ecosystems, and habitats. The review, which is primarily based on journal articles, covers field and laboratory measurement activities as well as current pollution issues such as endocrine disrupters, emerging contaminants, wastewater discharges, marine debris, dredging, and disposal. Because of the 2010 Deep-water Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and the proliferation of data on the assimilation and effects of marine debris, there is a special emphasis on the effects of oil spills and marine debris. Several previously discussed topics were dropped this year. This review focuses on effects rather than pollutant sources, chemistry, fate, or transport.
