Increase in global population has resulted in
considerable accumulation of wastes in the environment
which eventually reach the surrounding
waterbodies. Anthropogenic waste leads to deterioration
of water quality, making it unsuitable for
further use. The water coming after anthropogenic
interference are mostly left out untreated, and may
contain contaminants like hydrocarbons, phosphorous,
heavy metals, nitrogenous compounds, pesticide
residues, dyes etc. The polluted waterbodies are
mainly a resultant of various anthropogenic activities
which is getting discharged with different
treatment levels into the aquatic system. These
pollutants are finally getting accumulated in the
coastal waterbodies leading to pollution and imbalance
to the coastal ecosystem. Bioremediation aims
at viable treatment technique which lowers the
consequences of this contamination on the environment
by employing biological agents, such as
bioconcentration and removal using seaweeds.
Several research works had reported the efficiency
of seaweed in removing these pollutants, nutrients
and heavy metals from aquaculture systems, agricultures
and urban outflow and industrial effluents.
In this chapter, we discuss about the application of
seaweed in different ecosystem for removing the
effluents and contaminants present in the water
bodies and improving the water quality. The
technique employed by seaweed for quenching
these pollutant compounds from water bodies are
also included.
