Cover Story: Transitional waters such as estuaries and coastal lakes are key interfaces between land and sea, sustaining high productivity and biodiversity, but they are exposed to strong natural and human pressures, including climate change, erosion, pollution, tourism, and urbanization. Small, shallow brackish lakes are particularly vulnerable and require detailed knowledge of sediments, mineralogy, and ecology to assess contamination, especially heavy metals associated with fine particles and organic matter. Distinguishing natural from anthropogenic sources is crucial for risk evaluation and remediation. Lake Ganzirri (Italy) exemplifies a Mediterranean system where multidisciplinary analyses of morphology, sediments, bioclasts, and metal distribution help interpret geochemical hotspots and support sustainable management of fragile coastal lagoons. View this paper
