“…A significant finding from these studies is the recognition of variations across seasons on water quality parameters and pollutants, influenced by natural factors such as high precipitation, seasonal runoff, and anthropogenic factors like shipping, fishing, tourism activities, and idol immersion activities. Similarly, PC values and POC concentrations have been jointly assessed [72,78] to determine the significance of ongoing development in TW areas, aiming to enhance diagnoses and identify critical hazard points stemming from these compounds.…”

“…Expanding on investigations utilizing indices, numerous studies have interpolated a wide range of indices related to pollution, potential ecological risk, ecosystem health, and health risk to assess, monitor, and detect sources of contamination [13,24,35,55,69,[72][73][74]76]. Among the identified pollution sources for TW are aquaculture and agricultural practices, disposal of municipal waste, discharge of untreated agricultural sewage, industry, and urbanization.…”

“…These analyses have utilized Google Earth Pro images [16], high-resolution aerial photos [60], SPOT-5 satellite images [35], Landsat images [13,15,34,53,65,72], and Airborne Visible/Infrared (AVIRIS) imagery [57]. For instance, a land use/land cover change analysis has been described by comparing satellite images from different periods to identify alterations in land cover [15,36,72]. Moreover, specific studies have been undertaken to analyze land loss, such as segmenting marsh shorelines into oil-affected and non-affected areas and calculating land loss rates [57].…”

Transitional waters (TWs) are relevant ecological and economical ecosystems that include estuaries, deltas, bays, wetlands, marshes, coastal lakes, and coastal lagoons and play a central role in providing food, protecting coastal environments, and regulating nutrients. However, human activities such as industrialization, urbanization, tourism, and agriculture are threatening these ecosystems, which results in contamination and habitat degradation. Therefore, it is essential to evaluate contamination in TW to develop effective management and protection strategies. This study analyses the application of geospatial technologies (GTS) for monitoring and predicting contaminant distribution in TW. Cartography, interpolation, complex spatial methods, and remote sensing were applied to assess contamination profiles by heavy metals, and persistent organic compounds, and analyze contamination indices or some physicochemical water parameters. It is concluded that integrating environmental and demographic data with GTS would help to identify critical points of contamination and promote ecosystem resilience to ensure long-term health and human well-being. This review comprehensively analyzes the methods, indicators, and indices used to assess contamination in transitional waters in conjunction with GTS. It offers a valuable foundation for planning future research on pollution in these types of waters or other similar water bodies worldwide.

Sandy beaches along the North African Mediterranean coast face significant challenges due to accumulating human-made debris (marine litter) and natural debris (beach wrack). Addressing these issues requires awareness of pollution and the ecological relevance of beach wrack, along with stakeholder involvement. This study quantifies beach litter pollution and identifies sources in Tunisia, Morocco, and Egypt, serving as a basis for ecosystem service assessments and further integration into the implementation of mitigation measures. High levels of plastic litter were found, ranging from 1565 to 7778 pieces per 100 m of beach length. Shoreline activities, tourism, and poor waste management were identified as the main sources of litter, with single-use plastics accounting for 41.1% of the debris. Further objectives include providing a list of suitable ecosystem services and developing management scenarios. Local stakeholders’ perceptions of the impact of marine litter and beach wrack on ecosystem services were assessed using a scenario approach and different formats (i.e., stakeholder workshop, interviews, teaching). Stakeholders highlighted the negative impact of marine litter on cultural services, while beach wrack was perceived positively for regulating and maintenance services. This approach enhances awareness, interest, and knowledge in data-scarce regions, serving as a valuable tool for stakeholder engagement, elicitation of stakeholder knowledge, and teaching (i.e., learning tool). Limitations include the subjectivity of the results, limited participant reach, and dependence on stakeholder knowledge. Integrating stakeholder-based ecosystem service assessments into measure planning and decision making is essential for effective litter management and beach conservation efforts.
