The improvement such research can bring to biomarkers, models and experiments enables equal progress in the quality of seawater in ports and protected areas of coastal regions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe eight chapters of \u003ci\u003eMarine Environmental Quality\u003c\/i\u003e present many aspects of this research, including experiments with floating barriers, water governance in various areas, sampling sites and sentinel species that act as biomarkers in harbors. Also covered are environmental commitments, both international and local, the risk that marine contamination poses to human health, experimental designs for interactions with microplastics and a study biomonitoring the juveniles of sentinel species. Such results will bring many benefits, to human health, to economic inclusion and to regional development.","brand":"ISTE Ltd and John Wiley \u0026 Sons Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":54218276077912,"sku":"9781786307583","price":171.06,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/marine-environmental-quality","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
