This book presents the main drivers of benthic structure and
processes in estuaries from the 8,000 km-Brazilian coast, assesses
the influence of natural and human disturbance, and discusses their
ecological importance and management needs. Estuaries are unique
coastal ecosystems often with low biodiversity that sustain and
provide essential ecological services to mankind. These ecosystems
include a variety of habitats with their own sediment and fauna
dynamics, all of them globally altered or threatened by human
activities. Mangroves, saltmarshes, tidal flats and other confined
estuarine systems are under increasing stress by overfishing and
other human activities leading to habitat and species loss.
Combined changes in estuarine hydromorphology and in climate pose
severe threats to estuarine ecosystems at a global scale.
