• The paper present an analysis of the perspectives provided by chemical sciences of selected environmental processes at work in coastal zones. It is argued that these perspectives serve to inform the planning for the wise and sustainable development of such areas and ecosystems. In particular, instances are described that illustrate the processes within the environment of biotransformation, bioaccumulation and the use of bioindicators. Bioremediation is also outlined. The tragic exemplar of mercury poisoning at Minamata Bay, Japan is considered in some detail. The complex but conventional analysis of environmental consequences of pollutant production and release is contrasted with the more recent emergence of green chemistry, or environmentally benign chemistry, to prevent pollution at the source, that is, in the design and selection of chemical products and processes.
