Reference: Garali A.B.-Contamination of superficial sediments by heavy metals and iron in the Bizerte lagoon, northern Tunisia - snapshot

These results of this study show that this lagoon receives concentrations in anthropogenic metals that risk provoking more or less important disruptions, which are harmful and irreversible on the fauna and flora of this lagoon and on the whole ecobiological equilibrium.
