Abstract

Maritime traffic has increased dramatically in the world’s oceans over the past 20 years, thus increasing the risk of pollution caused by shipping. Evidence of the effects of a bulk freighter stranding associated with the impacts of a tropical cyclone is presented. Chronic effects from chemical species associated with pollution in a port environment are also described with respect to the physiology of Plicopurpura pansa as a potential bioindicator of health in the intertidal zone of the Central Mexican Pacific. The need to implement strict regulation and control measures over the various impacts resulting from port activity is set forth.
