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 …

Abstract Currently, 60–80% of litter is plastic, and almost 10% ends up in the ocean directly
or indirectly. Plastics often suffer from photooxidation producing microplastics and these …

Detection and identification of macroplastic debris in aquatic environments is crucial to
understand and counter the growing emergence and current developments in distribution …

Despite the importance of remote detection of marine debris, nearly all published studies are
focused on either controlled experiments, or Sentinel-2 data with mixed band resolutions …

Plastic pollution in coastal and marine areas is an ongoing environmental concern in the
world. Despite its growing concern worldwide, there is a knowledge gap in terms of its …

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 …

Large-area, artificial floating marine litter (FML) targets were deployed during a controlled
field experiment and data acquisition campaign: the Plastic Litter Project 2021. A set of 22 …

Marine pollution presents a pressing environmental issue in the oceanic realm. To examine
the identification, detection, and mitigation technologies employed for marine pollution, a …

In recent years, the remote sensing of marine plastic litter has been rapidly evolving and the
technology is most advanced in the visible (VIS), near-infrared (NIR), and short-wave …

Plastic pollution in the marine environment is a pervasive, global problem that threatens
