“…The first characteristic of oil spill is the increase of concentrations of total petroleum hydrocarbons in seawater, soils in coastal areas such as salt marshes, fish muscle and sandy beach micro benthic community (Jung et al, 2011;Yu et al, 2013). It will result in the complete mortality of plants, Spartina alterniflora and Juncus roemerianus, as well as changes of the microbial community, vegetation structure, biomass and function of salt marshes in the coastal ecosystem (Beazley et al, 2012;Lin and Mendelssohn, 2012;Lamendella et al, 2014).…”

Coastal zone is of great importance in the provision of various valuable ecosystem services. However, it is also sensitive and vulnerable to environmental changes due to high human populations and interactions between the land and ocean. Major threats of pollution from over enrichment of nutrients, increasing metals and persistent organic pollutants (POPs), and climate change have led to severe ecological degradation in the coastal zone, while few studies have focused on the combined impacts of pollution and climate change on the coastal ecosystems at the global level. A global overview of nutrients, metals, POPs, and major environmental changes due to climate change and their impacts on coastal ecosystems was carried out in this study. Coasts of the Eastern Atlantic and Western Pacific were hotspots of concentrations of several pollutants, and mostly affected by warming climate. These hotspots shared the same features of large populations, heavy industry and (semi-) closed sea. Estimation of coastal ocean capital, integrated management of land-ocean interaction in the coastal zone, enhancement of integrated global observation system, and coastal ecosystembased management can play effective roles in promoting sustainable management of coastal marine ecosystems. Enhanced management from the perspective of mitigating pollution and climate change was proposed.

“…Cleanup campaign was activated right after the spill by more than million volunteers, and scientific monitoring program and researches were organized. Thereafter, studies related to Hebei Spirit oil spill were performed on the chemical and biological changes in seawater and fishes (Kim et al, 2010;Jung et al, 2011;Jung et al, 2012;Kim et al, 2013), ecotoxicity, genotoxicity, endocrine-effects, and aryl hydrocarbon receptor-mediated activity in heavily contaminated sediments (Ji et al, 2011;Hong et al, 2012;Lee et al, 2013a;Lee et al, 2013b). However, there was no cleanup activity in the muddy tidal flats where there were active aquaculture grounds for oysters and clams.…”

The bioaccumulation of 16 United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and alkylated PAHs in the Manila clam, Ruditapes philippinarum exposed to sediments artificially contaminated by Iranian Heavy Crude Oil was measured and the biota-sediment accumulation factor (BSAF) was estimated through laboratory experiments. The proportion of 16 PAHs accumulated in the tissue of R. philippinarum was only from 3 to 7% of total PAHs. Among 16 PAHs, the concentration of naphthalene was highest in the tissue. Alkylated PAHs were highly accumulated more than 93% of total PAHs. The C3 dibenzothiophene was most highly accumulated. The relative composition of alkylated naphthalenes in the tissue of R. philippinarum was lower than in the sediments. In contrast, those of alkylated compounds of fluorenes, phenanthrenes, dibenzothiophenes were higher in the tissue than the sediments. The BSAF for sum of 16 PAHs was 0.11 to 0.13 g carbon/g lipid and that for alkylated PAHs was 0.05 to 0.06 g carbon/g lipid. Naphthalene showed the highest BSAF value. Alkylated PAHs with the same parent compound, BSAF tended to increase with the number of alkylated branch increased, except for alkylated chrysenes. BSAF of total PAHs lies between that of field-based values, and are also similar to those of other persistent organic pollutants (PCBs, DDTs, HCHs). This study provides the BSAF values of individual alkylated PAHs accumulated in R. philippinarum for the first time and will be used as a basis for further understanding the bioaccumulation of organic contaminants in the marine benthic organisms.

“…On December 7, 2007, the worst oil spill occurred about 10 km off the Taean coast, in Korea, when the tanker Hebei Spirit foundered and released approximately 10,900 tons of crude oil (Hong et al, 2012a(Hong et al, , 2014Yim et al, 2012). Several previous studies indicated that the water quality, bioaccumulation, and benthic community of the Taean coast appeared to be fairly (or almost fully) recovered in five years after the Hebei Spirit oil spill (HSOS) (Hong et al, 2012a;Ji et al, 2011;Jung et al, 2011;Kim et al, 2010;Lee et al, 2011Lee et al, , 2013aYu et al, 2013). However, coastal sediments in the vicinity of an oil spill site are subject to a relatively long history of contamination, particularly in semi-closed sheltered areas.…”
