英文摘要 | Ocean contamination mostly comes from anthropogenic contamination in watercourses. However, what happens in desert areas where watercourses are few or nonexistent? Are these coastal areas exempt from contamination? Do the remote locations of desert areas enable pristine coastal areas? Atacama is widely known for its desert aridity and mining resources; however, human impacts in its coastal areas have not been widely studied. Coastal zone uses of this region of Chile were analyzed per province in relation to the population settlements and economic activities on the coastal edge. This study includes a review of the contamination in this desert coastal area in relation to the territorial organization, activities, and land uses. The results determined that most of the coastal edge was used for fishing and aquaculture (52%) and for conservation and protected areas (39%). However, 2% of the coastal edge was susceptible to conflicts due to shared uses. A strong lack of scientific research was detected despite environmental interest (Humboldt Current, diversity hot spots, desert blooming, algae kelps, protected areas, etc.) and economic development (impact of mining, agriculture and tourism) in the area. Most studies focused on metal concentrations in aquatic environments in the north part of the region. Studies on emerging contaminants have not been carried out in the area despite intense human settlement. |
