Abstract
In line with the objectives of European Commission (2017) for achieving a good environmental status, this study supports sustainable development by creating a tool for assessing the environmental quality and risks connected to the presence of contaminants in coastal-marine environments. Focusing on the Northern Adriatic Sea, the research aims to establish a reference framework for the spatial distribution of both organic and inorganic contaminants by collecting and evaluating historical data of sediments as they act as a long-term sink for contaminants of both natural and anthropogenic origin. The final output of this study will encompass both a comprehensive documentation of available data and the development of a decision-support tool for regional authorities involved in the management and protection of the coastal-marine environment, specifically tailored to the unique conditions of the Northern Adriatic where aquatic ecosystems of high natural value coexist with economic/productive (fishing and fish farming), environmental (ecosystem status and quality objectives) and social interests (recreational/maritime tourism activities) for local inhabitants.
