Abstract Mercury distribution in estuarine sediments is strongly influenced by the effect of desorption and adsorption on metal retention and transfer, the reactivity of mercury with particulate matter, and the close association of mercury with the fine suspended particulate fraction of the sedimentary load. The significance of this lies in that resuspension, initiated in diverse circumstances, can be an effective process in mercury remobilization. As one of the processes of mercury transfer in the estuarine environment, resuspension merits close attention, regular monitoring, and proper documentation as a prelude to judicious planning for environmental management.
