Abstract
: The influence of small human settlements on the distribution of marine litter is not well known. We investigated the potential contribution of such settlements in the distribution of the abundance and richness of macro litter (>1 cm) along a beach stretch in the northeast coast of Brazil coast. In order to investigate if the garbage would increase near coastal villages, we collected stranded marine litter in 45 transects, along 8.1 km of the beach stretch, including the ocean front of two small human settlements (Siribinha and Poças). We used a generalized additive model (GAM) and found greater waste richness in Siribinha and between Siribinha and Poças. No clear variation trend was evidenced in the amount of marine litter along the sampling sites. This indicate an unsystematic pattern of the distribution of litter near small villages, opposing to patterns observed in large urban centers. Therefore, litter produced far away may be a worse problem, then local litter, in remote coastal areas.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Integrated Coastal Zone Management / Revista de Gestão Costeira Integrada is a peer-reviewed international journal that publishes articles dealing with all the subjects related to coastal zones and their management, namely focused on coastal oceanography (physical, geological, chemical, biological), engineering, economy, sedimentology, sociology, ecology, history, pollution, laws, biology, anthropology, chemistry, politics, etc. Published papers present results from both fundamental as well as applied, or directed research. Emphasis is given to results on interdisciplinary contributions, on management tools and techniques, on innovative methodological or technical developments, on items with wide general applicability, and on local or regional experiments that can be a source of inspirations to other regions. Journal of Integrated Coastal Zone Management is focused on coastal environments what means that embraces a wide area that extends from an indefinite distance inland to an indefinite limit seaward. Paleoenvironments, ancient shorelines, historical occupation, diachronically analysis and legislation evolution are some subjects considered to fall within the purview of the journal as well.
