| Abstract |
Scientific research addressing environmental conditions of aquatic ecosystems has high priority in Peru. Nevertheless, there is a lack of knowledge on environmental contamination of Peruvian marine ecosystems. To address this knowledge gap, this review article summarizes the available information in order to estimate the environmental health status (EHS) of Peruvian marine ecosystems. In this study, none of the studied Peruvian marine ecosystems could be rated as EHS-good, and the southernmost locations showed the most degraded conditions and a low EHS. Freshwater and brackish ecosystems contribute to the overall metal concentrations in Peruvian marine ecosystems. Environmental contamination and stressors are also reaching the Peruvian Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). The management of coastal marine areas and MPAs in Peru should be urgently re-formulated. This study also identifies the optimal bio-monitoring approach in the current economic situation in Peru, and how marine research studies can support adjacent fields, e.g. nutrition and human health. |
