An increasing number of monitoring studies have confirmed the occurrence of antibiotic residues in the marine environment. Antibiotics have mostly been detected in coastal waters, but also in marine sediments and a diversity of aquatic organisms, raising concern on potential risks to the environment and human health. This chapter critically discusses antibiotic sources and prevalence in marine ecosystems, as well as potential adverse impacts on aquatic life. Current methodologies for the wide-scope analysis of antibiotics in the environment, alongside with novel ecotoxicological approaches, are also tackled. Lastly, a particular focus was given to the related emergence of antibiotic resistant bacteria in the marine environment and their implications for public health, as well as future trends and strategies for the mitigation of antibiotic pollution and effects.
