Impact of Barcelona on the marine ecosystem

Impact of Barcelona on the marine ecosystem

Abstract

[FR] La côte de Barcelone a été fortement affectée par les activités urbaines et industrielles du siècle dernier. En conséquence, cette côte est l'un des points les plus pollués de la Méditerranée. Elle présente une situation complexe avec de nombreuses sources de pollution et une contamination historique. Au cours des dernières décennies, la côte de Barcelone a été affectée par des transformations de grande envergure comme la construction et le renouvellement périodique de plages artificielles, la mise en place de nouveaux ports et de digues, l'élargissement du port principal de la ville et la construction de stations d'épuration d'eaux usées et de réseaux de tout-à-l'égout. Il s'agit donc d'un cas d'étude exceptionnel en Méditerranée pour l'analyse de l'impact des grandes cités sur l’environnement marin.

[EN] The Barcelona coastal zone has been strongly affected by industrial and urban activities during the last centuries. As a result, this coast is one of the most contaminated areas of the Mediterranean, showing a complex situation with a variety of pollution sources and an historic contamination. During the last decades, the Barcelona coast has been affected by major transformations such as the construction of artificial beaches, new marinas, breakwaters and groins, wastewater treatment plants, storm sewers, and the enlargement of the city harbour. It is an exceptional case for studying the impact of large Mediterranean cities on the sea
