Abstract The Mar Menor, Europe’s largest saltwater lagoon in the Mediterranean basin (Murcia, southeastern Spain), is a ecosystem facing severe pollution, anoxia events, and marine biodiversity loss. his exploratory study examines association between residential proximity to Menor childhood cancer incidence Murcia from 2000 2018. In our case-control of 594 cases 3,564 controls, matched by birth year sex, participants were categorized (G1 ≥ 20km, G2 = 10-20km, G3 2-10km, G4 ≤ 2km). Odds ratios (ORs) 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) adjusted for sociodemographic environmental covariates. Analysis distance as continuous variable indicated decrease risk with greater (OR 0.992; CI 0.987–0.995), while categorical variable, it revealed non-linear pattern. Specifically, did not increase those living within 2 km 0.87; 0.52–1.37), whereas increased risks observed 2–20 range Campo de Cartagena (G2; OR 1.32; 1.01–1.73 G3; 1.43; 1.00-2.02). This suggests modulating factors near may counterbalance broader contamination. These findings highlight complexity health dynamics importance detailed research guide public strategies urban planning child protection.

Coastal lagoons are ecosystems of high environmental importance but quite vulnerable to human activities. The continuous inflow pollutant loads can trigger negative impacts on the ecological status these water bodies, which is contrary European Green Deal. One example Mar Menor coastal lagoon in Spain, has experienced significant degradation recent years due excessive external nutrient input, especially from non-point source (NPS) pollution. one largest Mediterranean region and a site great socio-economic value. In this study, highly anthropogenic complex watershed Menor, known as Campo de Cartagena (1244 km2), was modelled with Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) analyse potential options for recovery unique system. model used simulate several best management practices (BMP) proposed by regulations, such vegetative filter strips, shoreline buffers, contour farming, removal illegal agriculture, crop rotation management, waterway vegetation restoration, fertiliser greenhouse rainwater harvesting. Sixteen scenarios individual combined BMPs were analysed study. We found that, measures, strips farming most effective reduction: approximately 30 % total nitrogen (TN) 40 phosphorus (TP). Moreover, restoration showed highest sediment (S) reduction at 20 %. However, combination demonstrated clear synergistic effects, reducing S export 38 %, TN 67 TP 75 Selecting appropriate be implemented scale requires holistic approach considering effectiveness NPS pollution BMP implementation costs. Thus, we have way forward enabling science-informed decision-making when choosing strategies control contamination scale.

We analysed the effectiveness of agricultural best management practices (BMPs) for mitigating harmful algal blooms (HABs) in Mar Menor lagoon, Spain, by coupling SWAT + catchment and GOTM-WET lake models. compared different BMP scenarios, including "vegetative filter strips", "contour farming", "fertilizer reduction", "crop rotation", their combination reducing high chlorophyll a (Chl-a) events over period 2003-2022. All BMPs significantly reduced nutrient inputs entering which limited formation HABs. The scenario that combined all was most effective controlling HABs, decreasing numbers days with HABs 81 %, Chl-a 50 % during periods This mainly explained crop rotation, fertilizer reduction vegetative strips differentially (e.g. rotation nitrogen 47.4 phosphorus 31.8 %). Contour farming least inputs, thus (1.6 5.8 HAB). results suggest dynamics are controlled interactive effects forms, where orthophosphate plays key role initiating is then maintained concentrations. research underscores relevance effectively driven eutrophication coastal vulnerable aquatic ecosystems like Menor. Coupling SWAT+ models, moved beyond solely simulations allowed incorporation lagoon responses to HAB prevention.

Peninsular Spain. There is strong evidence that climate change has produced a decrease in precipitation combined with an increased frequency, intensity and magnitude of high-intensity storm events Such have been particularly recurrent on the Spanish Mediterranean coast recent years. This study's first objective to update trends seasonality Spain from 1951 2019 at different time scales. Secondly, we analyse how extreme recorded years can modify water infrastructure design flows. A QGIS plugin was programmed using Python calculate flows accordance methodologies legally established The results confirm decreasing trend annual most territory. significant during March June. Moreover, average increases around 30–40 % flows, which reached double values obtained reference period 1951–1990 some basins, relevance incorporating into flow calculations Design without rainfall data be underestimated, profound risk implications. Therefore, there sufficient technical basis draw attention this problem recommend its formal consideration by competent authorities.

Ocean monitoring systems are designed for continuous of the seas and oceans to track their evolution thus anticipate environmental issues. However, they often based on Internet Things (IoT) that expensive, hard maintain, offer little spatial coverage. An emerging alternative is Satellite Remote Sensing (SRS) good geographical coverage but, as a reliable real-time system, also face several challenges such conditions, spatio-temporal granularity, terrain oleography, etc. This paper introduces an easy-to-use software tool crawl water-quality data from up 6 satellite instruments (i.e. Sentinel 3 A, 3B, NOAA VIIRS, SNPP Aqua MODIS, Terra MODIS) European Space Agency's (ESA) Coopernicus system NASA's Marine Environmental Monitoring Service. We provide in-depth analysis in terms reliability chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) highly anthropised local/regional context like Mar Menor lagoon (Murcia, Spain), where serious socio-environmental issues arising due eutrophication process. Our results show linear correlation between situ data, obtained by Spanish public institutions since 2016, generated IRTM-NN (Inverse Radiative Transfer Model-Neural Network) algorithm general, reaching coefficient values close 0.9. They organic matter inputs ephemeral streams relevant determining Chl-a concentrations. Moreover, temporal using single instrument rather limited, no were recorded 80% days studied. figure decreases 30% when combined, increasing granularity measurements approximately 5 1.5 days, suggesting need combination these robust SRS system.
