  abstract = {{M}arine pollution in {W}est {A}frica is major threat particularly around coastal megacities. {W}e assess the chemical and ecotoxicological quality of the marine sediments in various submerged sampling sites of {D}akar. {A}nalysis revealed that sediments were slightly basic in which fine and coarse sands predominated. {H}igh percentages of total organic carbon were found sometime above 6%. {H}igher levels of heavy metal were reported than in previous studies. {C}hromium and nickel were above the {P}robable {E}ffect {C}oncentration. {L}ow trophic level appeared not affected by the overall toxicity, while medium trophic level was more affected. {I}ndeed, the vast majority (91%) of sites studied revealed a net percentage of {M}agallana gigas embryolarval developmental abnormality over 20%. {T}he assessment of the global toxicity of marine sediments from the {D}akar sites {S}tudied (n = 11) seemed, almost, as a whole, to be in a poor ecotoxicological state calling to take measures to improve the sanitary condition of this marine feature.},
