Marine plastic debris floating on the ocean surface is a major environmental problem.
However, its distribution in the ocean is poorly mapped, and most of the plastic waste …

Plastics and other artificial materials pose new risks to health of the ocean. Anthropogenic
debris travels across large distances and is ubiquitous in the water and on the shorelines …

In this first mass-related survey of microplastics (MPs,< 1 mm) in the German Bight (North
Sea, 2.5 m water depth), spatial load, temporal variations, and potential sources were …

Remote sensing is a promising tool for the detection of floating marine plastics offering
extensive area coverage and frequent observations. While floating plastics are reported in …

One of the biggest challenges in converting wave energy is to enable the use of low
frequency waves, since the highest waves in typical sea states have low frequencies, as can …

Abstract The Beagle Channel (BC) is a subantarctic passage connecting the Pacific and
Atlantic oceans at latitude∼ 55° S. Along its tortuous path, the channel defines particular …

It is well established that most of the plastic pollution found in the oceans is transported via
rivers. Unfortunately, the main processes contributing to plastic and debris displacement …

Observations using two kinds of drifters were carried out in the southern North Sea aiming to
study the propagation pathways of marine litter. One drifter, which was driven by the upper …

The accumulation patterns of floating marine litter (FML) in the Black Sea and the stranding
locations on coasts are studied by performing dedicated Lagrangian simulations using freely …

In recent years, a growing body of literature on seafloor macro-litter has been produced
worldwide. However, the spatial coverage of these studies is still limited and highly …
