Abstract. Plastics have been found in several compartments Antarctica. However, there is currently no evidence of their presence on Antarctic glaciers. Our pilot study investigated plastic occurrence two ice surfaces (one area around Uruguay Lake and another one Ionosferico Lake) that constitute part the ablation zone Collins Glacier (King George Island, Antarctica). results showed expanded polystyrene (EPS) was ubiquitous, ranging from 0.17 to 0.33 items m−2, whereas polyester only surface...
Synthetic plastics have become an indispensable component of modern life, and the amount disposal has increased dramatically as a result.With human population increasing, it is expected that prevalence plastic debris in environment will also increase, unless sustainable daily habits are incorporated, waste management improved, new alternative materials discovered popularized.To date, several reports show negative effects on marine freshwater fauna (e.g.invertebrates, birds, turtles, mammals).
Physical-chemical and biologicaldiversity of streams are influenced by the land use in their watersheds. Plastics currently make up most important waste asset, representing an part transported accumulated material water courses. This work analyzes consumption plastics debris fish communities with two contrasting types use. We worked threestreams impacted urbanization threeby extensive ranching. The stomach intestinal contents 309 individuals 29 species were analyzed, a modified alkaline...
The present study evaluates the effects of an artificial freshwater discharge (Canal Andreoni) on ecology ovoviviparous isopod Excirolana armata. Bimonthly, 17 environmental variables plus abundance, biomass, fecundity, growth and mortality were compared between three sites: ‘Barra del Chuy’ (undisturbed), at 13 km from canal, ‘Coronilla’ (moderately disturbed), 1 km, ‘Andreoni’ (grossly canal mouth. Environmental (salinity, slope, beach width, swash width) some biological (isopod biomass...
Paleoenvironmental reconstructions are increasingly being used in conservation biology, ecosystem management, and evaluations of services (ES), but their potential to contribute the ES risk assessment process has not been explored. We propose that long-term history provides valuable information augments strengthens an it should be considered routinely when undertaking assessments. adjusted a standard ecosystem-based management (EBRM) protocol include paleoenvironmental data, tested modified...
Maintaining and restoring freshwater ecosystem services in the face of local global change requires adaptive research that effectively engages stakeholders. However, there is a lack understanding consensus community regarding where, when, which stakeholders should be engaged what kind researcher do engaging (e.g., physical, ecological, or social scientists). This paper explores stakeholder engagement across developing network aquatic sites North South America with wide ranging cultural...
Abstract Benthic recovery following cessation of wastewater discharges in shallow soft-bottom environments off Barcelona was assessed by revisiting an old sampling site 2008 that had been studied when the impacts such were more acute (1987–88). In 1987–88, sediments highly polluted organic matter and inorganic contaminants. Although amount silt–clay diminished from 95 to 25% during intervening 20-year period significant improvements observed content polychlorinated biphenyls polycyclic...

En este artículo se presenta, en base al análisis de los componentes del Decálogo Barragán, avances detectados la última década y principales desafíos que enfrenta el manejo costero integrado (MCI) Uruguay. Tanto Uruguay como región han intensificado actividades con alta capacidad impacto zona costera (e.g. litoralización) lo sumado a las tendencias regionales variabilidad Cambio Climático exige implementar acciones para modificar uso dominante espacio costero. período indicado mejorado...
