Abstract

The aim of this paper is to characterize the plastic and to study a potential relationship between plastic debris characteristics and the presence of fouling biota in an Antarctic Specially Protected Area Robert Island, on the Antarctic peninsula region. A combination of lab-based sorting, advanced spectral analysis and general linear modelling was used to assess the abundance and type of plastic debris washed up on the shore. Observations recorded 730 debris items, with 85 % being plastic. Polystyrene (PS) and Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) were the dominant plastics (61 %). Biofouling was observed on 25 % of plastic debris, with debris complexity and degradation significantly increasing the likelihood of fouling occurring. There was no correlation found between biofouling type and plastic polymer type. Findings raise concerns that even with the highest level of environmental protection, an external marine-based source of pollution can intrude the coastal habitat, with uncertain consequences to local flora and fauna.

Abstract

The main objective of this study is to analyze the sustainability of the landscapes in the Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve (UBR) through the relationship between the landscape units and the socio-economic activities. The UBR is located in the north of Spain, being an area of great ecological and landscape values in anurbanized environment. The landscape is composed by numerous and varied units composed by spontaneous communities and those that are dependent on human activities. The economic activity depends mainly on the industrial and service sectors. A Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was carried out using territorial and socioeconomic indicators for each municipality. The relationship between the landscape and the socio-economic activity was performed using the Pearson’s multiple correlation test. Our results suggest that the sustainability of the cultural landscape units in the UBR is linked to the socioeconomic activities in the industrial and service sectors.
