In collaboration with the National Autonomous University of Nicaragua, a research group from the UPV/EHU's Plentzia Marine Station has studied the bivalves in the mangroves on both coasts of Nicaragua in order to analyse how they are affected by the pollution carried by rivers. It could be possible to use them as sentinels or indicators of environmental changes. The research has been published by the journal Science of the Total Environment.
