Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd, Cr, Hg and As in seawater, sediment and organisms of the Daya Bay, Guangdong province, China were measured to acquire the comprehensive understanding on distribution, sources and risk assessment of heavy metals (HMs) in the marine ecosystem. The concentrations were relatively ideal, and the Pb was the major pollutant in the seawater and sediment. The contents of HMs were highest in spring; the concentrations near the sewage outlet and shore were noticeable. Submarine pipeline sewage, atmospheric deposition and runoff were the main sources of HMs in coastal waters. Studied HMs were preferentially retained by liquid phase; Cd, Cu and Zn were the most accumulated elements in the organisms from the surrounding environment. Cd in shellfish deserved particular attention, but the health risks including non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risks of all elements were within acceptable limits. The potential health risks of Pb have been confirmed by molecular docking.
