Toxins and invasive amoebas found in marina seabed sediments
In recent years, special wash-down areas have been built in marinas to reduce the environmental problems caused by boat bottom paints. An analysis of Hinsholmskilen by the University of Gothenburg shows that the levels of metals in the seabed were highest closest to the wash-down areas, but also that two invasive amoebas have moved in.
