  abstract = {{T}he coastal marine area of {S}fax ({T}unisia), which is well-known for its high productivity and fisheries, is also subjected to anthropogenic inputs from diverse industrial, urban and agriculture activities. {W}e investigated the spatial distribution of physical, chemical and biogeochemical parameters in the surface waters of the southern coastal area of {S}fax. {P}ertinent tracers of anthropogenic inputs were identified. {T}wenty stations were sampled during {M}arch 2013 in the vicinity of the coastal areas reserved for waste discharge. {P}hosphogypsum wastes dumped close to the beaches were the main source of {PO}43 -, {C}l- and {SO}42 - in seawater. {T}he high content in total polyphenolic compounds was due to the olive oil treatment waste water released from margins. {T}hese inorganic and organic inputs in the surface waters were associated with elevated {COD}. {T}he {BOD}5/{COD} (< 0.5) and {COD}/{BOD}5 (> 3) ratios highlighted a chemical pollution with organic load of a low biodegradability.},
