Avances de la contaminación ambiental en las aguas del Golfo de Morrosquillo

Abstract

The Gulf waters are polluted Morrosquillo respectively the sea by dumping of waste matter, hydrocarbons and suspended solids, and the waters of the aquifer, salinity, hardness and bacterial contamination. The concentrations present, among others, hydrocarbon HDD in their marine waters are lower than the reference value (<10 ug / L) for unpolluted waters. Decreasing trend is observed, with the exception of specific cases Pechelin spout, spout French, Covenas - Coquerita and Villeros stream, caused by handling of crude oil and its derivatives, own transport operations and maritime activities in the region. Monitoring Program Quality and Coastal Marine Waters of Colombia - REDCAM, born in 2001, as the national strategy to meet the objective of evaluate the effects of human activities on marine and coastal ecosystems. Since then, has served REDCAM Support Environmental Information System for Colombia - SIAC and is an integral part of the Information System on Water Resources Marino - HRIS (MADS, Decree 1323/2007). This paper is a case study of the further deterioration in the marine waters in the Gulf sucreno, and is made with water sampling at 31 stations. However, when it comes to assess marine pollution are three matrices that must be studied: water, sediment and biota (Vinas Lucia, Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Environment (MAAMA, 2012).  The Gulf waters are polluted Morrosquillo respectively the sea by dumping of waste matter, hydrocarbons and suspended solids, and the waters of the aquifer, salinity, hardness and bacterial contamination.
