In order to identify how research contributes to the knowledge of marine litter as a pressure
on beaches, we reviewed interactions of beach fauna with this pollutant. Entanglement of …

The weight of marine litter has been marginally considered in comparison to counting and
categorizing items. However, weight determines litter dynamics on water and coasts, and it …

This baseline reports scientific evidence of marine litter items embedded in the dune volume
at two study sites on the North Atlantic Portuguese coast. We described how stranded litter …

This paper presents a quantitative and qualitative diagnosis of the current state of marine
litter along the northern coastline of Agadir, located on the central Atlantic coast of Morocco …

Along 24 beaches of the Central Caribbean Coast of Colombia, plastic items were collected
and grouped into 43 different typologies. The average plastic abundance was 4.54 items/m …

Cigarette butts pose a significant challenge in managing solid litter, with an estimated 4.5

Abstract The use of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS, aka drones) has shown to be feasible
to perform marine litter surveys. We operationally tested the use of multispectral images (5 …

The problem of marine litter is increasing along the Indian coast. For conducting a baseline
study to identify and assess the abundance, clean-coast index (CCI), and plastics …

Abstract In Africa, Morocco is the 10th largest producer of plastic. The severity of this plastic
has attracted increasing amounts of attention in the Moroccan Atlantic and Mediterranean in …

Despite the large research effort on reporting quantities of coastal litter, the dynamics of this
litter is not yet sufficiently understood. Litter inputs in five cobble beaches located in the …
