Abstract: Environmental problems in seas and coastal areas have become of major concern in recent years. The increasing need for monitoring and protecting the marine environment has led to a rapid evolution of water quality and ecological models. As this development proceeds, it is becoming increasingly clear that, for the proper description of coastal water pollution, the underlying flow field i.e. the hydrodynamic features of the area considered, is of major significance. The oversimplified notions of residence or renewal times are not adequate for identifying pollutant trapping areas associated with complex geometry or bathymetry of many natural water bodies.
