Intertidal groundwater and seawater were sampled to analyze the distribution characteristics, the contamination status and the submarine groundwater discharge (SGD)-associated fluxes of heavy metals Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd, Cr, and Hg as well as the metalloid As at four typical intertidal wetlands (including a sandy beach, a mud flat, a tidal marsh and an estuarine intertidal zone) of Jiaozhou Bay, China. Results show that the surface water near the Dagu River estuary suffers from a severe Cu pollution. The groundwater in the sandy beach and mud flat has stronger enrichment abilities of heavy metals than those at the other two sites. The contents of Pb and Zn in groundwater are mainly controlled by the sulfate reduction. At the mud flat, human activities may cause potential Pb contamination to groundwater. The heavy metal effluxes in the sandy beach are the largest of all the four wetlands.
