Resumen

The recent sedimentary record of the Nalón estuary was analysed using two intertidal cores and dated by 210Pb and 137Cs. The results show for the first time its characteristic benthic foraminiferal assemblages constituted by a total of 46 species, as well as the important changes experienced by these assemblages, in agreement with the environmental magnetism variations, probably due to mining activities since 1850 CE that suggest degraded environmental conditions. These characteristics persisted for decades, even beyond the closureof the coal and mercury mining activities, until the 21st century, whena slight environmental regeneration process has been observed.
