Pollutants:
- Chemical pollutants from industrial runoff.
- Non-biodegradable plastic waste accumulation.
- Oil spills from maritime activities.
- Excessive nutrient runoff leading to harmful algal blooms.
- Sediment pollution due to erosion.
These pollutants have profound and wide-reaching consequences, including:
- Extensive damage to ecosystems such as coral reefs and kelp forests.
- Endangerment of marine species through habitat degradation and pollutant ingestion.
- Human health risks from consuming contaminated seafood and exposure to polluted waters.
- Significant economic losses impacting fisheries, tourism, and coastal communities.
Ecotoxicology plays a pivotal role in understanding and addressing these challenges by studying the effects of pollutants on living organisms and ecosystems. Advancements in ecotoxicological research, including molecular tools and modeling techniques, are essential for developing effective strategies to mitigate and prevent marine pollution.
In this context, the National Conference on Marine Pollution and Ecotoxicology (NCMPE24) provides an excellent forum to address marine pollution issues at local, regional, and global scales, fostering effective solutions to secure a better future for our marine environments.
