Dynamic coastal waters are often polluted by chemical pollutants, affecting ecosystems. A total of four scientific cruises up to 10 km offshore from the coastline along Chennai-Puducherry coast during 2019-20 were conducted. This study examined spatiotemporal distribution heavy metals (Cr, Cu, Pb, Cd, Ni, Zn, As, Co, Mn) in sediments using various geochemical indices, including Geo-accumulation Index (Igeo), Enrichment Factor (EF), Contamination (CF), and Ecological Risk (ERI), understand impacts, environmental risks, pollution status marine systems. The metal concentrations Cr, Mn 16.48-74.70 μg/g, 2.01-3.78 1.37-17.54 0.20-21.76 5.73-40.53 4.73-53.54 2.09-28.18 1.80-9.02 70.27-346.22 respectively. I geo results revealed that none reached contamination level except for Cd As which showed a slightly contaminated sediment. ERI indicated at moderate high ecological risk metals. will help policymakers make informed decisions combating or remediating safeguard environment.

A crucial first step in managing marine non-indigenous species (NIS) that pose a threat to native species, habitats or ecosystems is for countries update their NIS lists.In the Mediterranean region, efforts these lists vary greatly from country country.There notable disparity between northern and southern coasts of this basin, which warrants attention ensure comprehensive assessment management dissemination along coasts.In context, rapid survey was carried out Tunisian five marinas: Bizerte, Gammarth, Hammamet, Port El Kantaoui Cap Monastir.NIS belonging sessile macrozoobenthic groups Ascidiacea, Bryozoa, Porifera, Hydrozoa Polychaeta different substrata marina were surveyed May December 2019.Here we report total twenty cryptogenic with six new records

The introduction of Non-Indigenous Species (NIS) in the Mediterranean Sea is one main threats to biodiversity and its increasing frequency could bring a significant ecological impact on native species. However, knowledge marine bioinvasions, spreading patterns NIS their possible pathways dispersion still limited, especially for particular taxonomic groups. In this paper, we report first record colony non-indigenous bryozoan, Microporella hastingsae Harmelin, Ostrovsky, Cáceres-Chamizo Sanner, 2011, found plastic litter stranded south Catania (Sicily, western Ionian Sea) during spring 2023. Based colony, formal description M. provided species, which was recently erected old, misidentified material collected early twentieth century Suez Canal north Red Sea. We suggest that species be considered Lessepsian migrant assuming it entered at any time, through larval dispersal and/or facilitation by human activities, presumably shipping. Further surveys coastal localities Sicily eastern are needed confirm establishment or if present only represents an occasional basin.
