Leite, L.L. Santos, Y. Costa, V. Hatje, Influence of proximity to an urban center in the pattern of contamination by marine debris, Marine Pollution Bulletin, Available online 12 February 2014, ISSN 0025-326X, http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.marpolbul.2014.01.032. (http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0025326X14000332) Abstract: In order to test the relationship between the occurrence of marine debris and the distance from urban areas, nine beaches in the metropolitan area of Salvador, Bahia, Brazil and the adjacent northern coast were studied. Marine debris were collected, sorted in several categories and weighed. It was observed that plastics were numerically the most abundant component of the collected debris. As expected, the beaches closest to Salvador presented the largest density of debris, with the exception of the Porto da Barra beach, which has an efficient public cleaning system and does not have any vegetation, making it difficult to accumulate solid waste. Linear regression analyses showed significant relationships between the distance from the urban center (Salvador) and the number of marine debris per m2, the total number of debris per beach (abundance), and the diversity of debris types (richness). The results showed that proximity to urban regions was a key factor in the marine debris distribution along the coast. Keywords: Solid waste; Contamination; Salvador; Regression analyses; Bahia

(http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0025326X1300739X) Abstract: With a coastline of 8500 km, Brazil has 34 public ports and various private terminals, which together in 2012 handled 809 million tonnes of goods. The solid wastes produced (from port activities, ships and cargoes) pose a highly relevant problem, both due to the quantity and diversity, requiring a complex and integrated set of practices resulting from legal requirements and proactive initiatives. The main Brazilian law on solid waste management is recent (Law 12,305/2010) and the specific rules on solid waste in ports are badly in need of revision to meet the challenges caused by expansion of the sector and to harmonize them with the best global practices. This paper analyzes the current legal/regulatory framework for solid waste management at Brazilian ports and compares this structure with the practice in Europe. At the end, we suggest initiatives to improve the regulation of solid wastes at Brazilian ports. https://mail.noris.net/src/download.php?startMessage=16&passed_id=16&mailbox=Texte&ent_id=14.5&passed_ent_id=14
