Benthic foraminifera for the ecological status assessment of tourist marinas

Living benthic foraminifera were investigated in three tourist marinas of the Central Adriatic in order to test the suitability of these organisms for a quick and cost-effective assessment of the ecological quality status (EcoQS). Local high concentrations of biocidal metals (Cu, Zn, Cr, Sn, Ni and...
