Coastal forest decline due to seasprays has been reported from all continents, both on broadleaves and conifers. The main cause has been identified in the presence of surfactants. Sea winds transport these substances to the leaves, where they are absorbed via cuticula and stomata producing indirect and also direct damage. The scope of this work is the macroscopic and microscopic assessment of the long term effects of polluted seasprays on Aleppo pines in natural conditions from the Saler coastline (Eastern Spain) inwards. Surfactants may be involved in the damage to Aleppo pine in El Saler as more severe episodes of damage have been observed in the last decade
