The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), resulted in ecological changes of aquatic ecosystems, affected food supply chain, and disrupted socio-economy global populations. Due to reduced human activities during environment was reported improve its water quality, wild fishery stocks, biodiversity. However, sudden surge plastics biomedical wastes pandemic masked positive impacts increased risks pollution, especially microplastics, pharmaceuticals, disinfectants. transmission SARS-CoV-2 from wastewater treatment plants natural bodies could have serious on health, developing countries with poor waste facilities. presence persistence excreta, wastewaters, sludge ecosystems negative fisheries aquaculture industries, which direct implications safety security. pandemic-related environmental pollution showed a high risk security health. This paper reviews COVID-19, both negative, assesses causes consequences anthropogenic that can be managed through effective regulation management eco-resources for revival biodiversity, ecosystem sustainable production.

Implications of COVID-19 pandemic on environmental compartments: Is plastic pollution a major issue?

Journal of Hazardous Materials Advances, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 5, P. 100041 - 100041

Published: Dec. 23, 2021

The COVID-19 anthropause has impacted human activities and behaviour, resulting in substantial environmental ecological changes. It assisted restoring the systems by improving, for instance, air water quality decreasing anthropogenic pressure on wildlife natural environments. Notwithstanding, such improvements recessed back, even to a greater extent, when considering increased medical waste, hazardous disinfectants other chemical compounds, plastic waste disposal or mismanagement. This work critically reviews short- long-term implications of measures against spreading, namely different compartments. Furthermore, this paper highlights strategies towards restoration, as recovery lost environment during lockdown suggests that degradation caused humans can be reversible. Thus, we no longer delay concerted international actions address biodiversity, sustainable development, health emergencies ensure resilience equitable recovery.

Reef health assessment of Pulau Payar Marine Park during the COVID-19 pandemic in Malaysia

Published: June 11, 2024

Pulau Payar Marine Park (PPMP) consists of four islands, namely Payar, Kaca, Lembu and Segantang. This study was carried out in PPMP from June 2020 to February 2021, during the implementation Malaysia’s Movement Control Order response Covid-19 pandemic country. The purpose this determine species, coverage biomass corals fish present within area assess its coral health status. Data were derived at 11 sites depths 5 10 m. Point Intersect Line method applied record benthic communities for every meter across two 50-meter transect lines. outcomes showed that dominated by scleractinian corals, with an average 25% all islands. Segantang characterized 37%, 33%, 37% live cover respectively. A total 14 families, 30 genera 49 species identified, giving latest comprehensive list marine park. most common recorded Porites lutea, followed Physogyra lichtensteini. survey revealed a 39 23 genera, encompassing 16 Lutjanidae being dominant group. Fish values varied between 20 g/m2 183 each site. Shannon-Wiener diversity (H), Evenness (E) index (CHI) calculated island. H ranged 2.03 3.01. had highest value H, 3.01, number species.

Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has become a planetary concern that affecting the sustenance of human population all around globe. effective measured been taken in Malaysia to control virus transmission by limiting vitality which unsurprisingly propitious environment. A monitoring study was conducted assess water quality status surface seawater along Port Dickson coast based on Malaysian Marine Water Quality Index (MMWQI) and Standards (MMWQCS) with an interval period year (March 2020-March 2021). In situ , parameters incorporate temperature, pH, salinity, conductivity, dissolved oxygen (DO), total solids (TDS) were at 14 sampling sites evaluate biochemical characteristics water. Surface samples collected from same transported back Universiti Putra for nitrate (NO 3 -), ammonia (NH ), phosphate (PO 4 demands (BOD), fecal coliform ( Escherichia coli suspended (TSS) analyses. MMWQI showed classified as moderate (50.41 - 64.05) both events. However, there are some indexes significant decreases (p< 0.05) latter year. concentration nutrient pollution such phosphate, nitrates, ammonia, well oil grease, decreased 11.12%, 77.39%, 82.4%, 90.26%, 99.9% respectively. namely TDS, BOD levels significantly 1.77%, 20.73%, 77.16%. Certain listed MMWQS coliform, grease Class 1 March 2021. These occurrences recorded greatly influenced reduction substantial activities recreational beach followed declaration Movement Control Order (MCO) Malaysia.
