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 …

Marine debris and plastic pollution affect all coastal habitats, however coastal debris studies
are predominantly performed on sandy beaches. Other coastal habitats, such as mangroves …

Plastic pollution is a defining environmental contaminant and is considered to be one of the
greatest environmental threats of the Anthropocene, with its presence documented across …

Plastic debris is widespread in the environment, but information on the effects of
microplastics on terrestrial fauna is completely lacking. Here, we studied the survival and …

Microplastics are widely dispersed throughout the marine environment. An understanding of
the distribution and accumulation of this form of pollution is crucial for gauging …

The aim of this study was to determine the extent Nephrops consumes plastics in the Clyde
Sea and if this intake occurs through their diet. Plastic contamination was found to be high in …

Abstract The Goiana Estuary was studied regarding the seasonal and spatial variations of
microplastics (< 5 mm) and their quantification relative to the zooplankton. The total density …

Micro-and macroplastic accumulation threatens estuaries worldwide because of the often
dense human populations, diverse plastic inputs and high potential for plastic degradation …

Floating and stranded marine debris is widespread. Increasing sea levels and altered
rainfall, solar radiation, wind speed, waves, and oceanic currents associated with climatic …

An experiment observed the behavior of selected tagged plastic items deliberately released
in different habitats of a tropical mangrove forest in NE Brazil in late rainy (September) and …
