Abstract

: The influence of small human settlements on the distribution of marine litter is not well known. We investigated the potential contribution of such settlements in the distribution of the abundance and richness of macro litter (>1 cm) along a beach stretch in the northeast coast of Brazil coast. In order to investigate if the garbage would increase near coastal villages, we collected stranded marine litter in 45 transects, along 8.1 km of the beach stretch, including the ocean front of two small human settlements (Siribinha and Poças). We used a generalized additive model (GAM) and found greater waste richness in Siribinha and between Siribinha and Poças. No clear variation trend was evidenced in the amount of marine litter along the sampling sites. This indicate an unsystematic pattern of the distribution of litter near small villages, opposing to patterns observed in large urban centers. Therefore, litter produced far away may be a worse problem, then local litter, in remote coastal areas.

巴西东北海岸小型人类住区对海洋垃圾的影响

小型人类住区对海洋垃圾分布的影响尚不清楚。我们研究了这些聚落对巴西东北海岸海滩大凋落物丰度和丰富度分布的潜在贡献(bbb1cm)。为了调查沿海村庄附近的垃圾是否会增加，我们收集了45个样带的搁浅海洋垃圾，沿着8.1公里的海滩延伸，包括两个小型人类住区(Siribinha和poas)的海滨。我们使用广义加性模型(GAM)发现，Siribinha和Siribinha与poas之间的废物丰富度更高。沿样点的海洋垃圾数量没有明显的变化趋势。这表明在小村庄附近的垃圾分布是一种非系统的模式，与在大城市中心观察到的模式相反。因此，在偏远的沿海地区，远方产生的垃圾可能比当地产生的垃圾更严重。

期刊介绍： Journal of Integrated Coastal Zone Management / Revista de Gestão Costeira Integrada is a peer-reviewed international journal that publishes articles dealing with all the subjects related to coastal zones and their management, namely focused on coastal oceanography (physical, geological, chemical, biological), engineering, economy, sedimentology, sociology, ecology, history, pollution, laws, biology, anthropology, chemistry, politics, etc. Published papers present results from both fundamental as well as applied, or directed research. Emphasis is given to results on interdisciplinary contributions, on management tools and techniques, on innovative methodological or technical developments, on items with wide general applicability, and on local or regional experiments that can be a source of inspirations to other regions. Journal of Integrated Coastal Zone Management is focused on coastal environments what means that embraces a wide area that extends from an indefinite distance inland to an indefinite limit seaward. Paleoenvironments, ancient shorelines, historical occupation, diachronically analysis and legislation evolution are some subjects considered to fall within the purview of the journal as well.
