Abstract
- We assessed how indices of beach health perform in predicting crustaceans abundance.
- Abundances were inversely correlated with urbanization.
- Best GAM's included the urbanization and conservation indices for abundance's predictions.
- Supratidal and intertidal species have different responses to anthropogenic pressures.
- We exposed possible management strategies for metropolitan sandy beaches.
