description •We evaluate the ecological status of four benthic sites in the port.•We use biological and chemical indicators located along a presumed environmental gradient.•High disturbance is reflected by low diversity and high AMBI values in inner sites.•Coprostanol seemed to derive from sea lions rather than from sewage outfalls. We evaluated benthic habitat quality along a presumed contamination gradient in the Mar del Plata port (Southwestern Atlantic) by coupling biological and chemical proxies in a multidisciplinary approach. Organic matter and photosynthetic pigment contents were higher in silty-clay bottoms of the inner port sites. Levels of all fecal steroids decreased from the inner sites to the port inlet. High concentrations of coprostanol in the inner sites seemed to derive from a permanent population of sea lions rather than from sewage outfalls due to coprostanol/epicoprostanol ratio (IV) values
