Abstract

Sediment pollution in coastal and marine environments has emerged as a pressing concern due to its far-reaching ecological, environmental, and human health impacts. This Special Issue of the Marine Pollution Bulletin assembles a diverse range of studies investigating sediment pollution, its causes, and potential mitigation strategies, covering topics such as geophysical assessment of anthropogenic activities, biological responses to pollution, contamination, and ecological risk assessments, and microplastics in coastal sediments. The findings emphasize the need for effective monitoring, management, and interdisciplinary research to address the multifaceted challenges posed by sediment pollution. As the global population grows and human activities expand, it is essential to prioritize sustainable practices and policies to minimize anthropogenic impacts on coastal and marine ecosystems. By advancing collective knowledge and sharing best practices, we can work towards ensuring a healthier and more resilient future for these crucial ecosystems and the lives they support.
