Oil spill + COVID-19: A disastrous year for Brazilian seagrass conservation

Karine Matos Magalhaes et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic and the oil spill have had significant impacts on Brazil's marine ecology and economy due to government inaction, social inequality, and inadequate research on tropical ecosystems. It is crucial to analyze the short- and long-term effects of the pandemic and oil spill on the recovery of the economy and coastal ecosystems.

Oil spill in northeastern Brazil: Application of fluorescence spectroscopy and PARAFAC in the analysis of oil-related compounds

Kelvin C. Araujo et al.

Summary: Water samples were collected along the coastline in northeastern Brazil between November 2019 and February 2020, following an oil spill in August 2019. Different fluorescent components were identified in the postspill samples, associated with terrestrial and marine organic matter, dibenzothiophene-like substances, and a naphthalene-like substance. Principal component analysis showed the distribution of samples along these components, compared with reference samples.

Oil impact on the environment and aquatic organisms on the coasts of the states of Alagoas and Sergipe, Brazil-A preliminary evaluation

Emerson Carlos Soares et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the impact of an oil spill off the coast of the Brazilian Northeast region, finding elevated levels of heavy metals in seawater, significant differences in water quality parameters, and similar oil chromatographic profiles from different beaches. Additionally, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons were identified in seawater, fish, and bivalves, providing valuable information for assessing the effects of the oil spill on the Brazilian coast.

A baseline evaluation of PAH body burden in sardines from the southern Brazilian shelf

C. G. Massone et al.

Summary: The study investigated the concentrations of 37 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in sardine muscle samples and their potential risks to human health. Most samples were within safe levels, with only a small percentage exceeding the safe consumption threshold. These findings can be used for monitoring the quality of sardines consumed in Brazil.

Socioeconomic vulnerability of communities on the Brazilian coast to the largest oil spill (2019-2020) in tropical oceans

Samuel Facanha Camara et al.

Summary: This study aims to identify the socioeconomic vulnerability of establishments located on the Northeast coast of Brazil affected by the extensive oil spill in tropical oceans. The main research findings indicate that accommodation services and the food sector are the most vulnerable sectors, with significant variations in vulnerability indices among states in the same region.

Distribution and origin of sedimentary organic matter in an eutrophic estuary: Pina Sound - NE Brazil

Bruno V. M. Da Costa et al.

Summary: The study revealed that the sedimentary organic matter in Pina Sound primarily originates from phytoplankton, sewage, and C-3 plants, with sewage significantly affecting its nutrient load. Additionally, the high organic load results in anoxic conditions in the sediments of Pina Sound.
