Abstract

We confirmed the hypothesis that algal mats provoke additional accumulation of heavy metals in the bottom sediments and release of labile metals. This process, in turn, enforce a pollution of the coastal zone. Our results give a new direction to the studies of the “green tides” worldwide problem.
