Book Description
The Gulf of Maine is a highly productive water body with a reputation for clean water, unspoiled beaches, and high quality seafood. However, certain nearshore regions of the Gulf have been found to be polluted and all densely populated and industrialized areas of the Gulf are affected by local pollution sources. This fact sheet reviews the state of the Gulf of Maine environment, focusing on the threat to marine life from pollution. It examines the contaminants of concern, including heavy metals, pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls, and hydrocarbons, and their implications for the health of marine organisms and humans. The fact sheet also notes recent trends in contaminant levels and actions being taken to restore and maintain the health of the Gulf ecosystem.
