Millions of tons of riverine plastic waste enter the ocean via estuaries annually. The plastics
accumulate, fragment, mix and interact with organisms in these dynamic systems, but such …

Plastic debris is the most common and exponentially increasing human pollutant in the
world's ocean. The distribution and impact of plastic in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans have …

Northern Patagonia is characterized by multiple rivers that discharge considerable amounts
of freshwater into the coastal ocean, forming large river plumes that influence hydrographic …

Millions of tons of buoyant plastic materials enter oceans annually, the majority originating
from terrestrial sources and transported to oceans where oceanographic processes disperse …

This study delineates the role of small and medium river inputs, Low Saline Plume Advection
(LSPA) and eddies in hydrography alteration and Chlorophyll a (Chl. a) in the Western Bay …

In this work we analyzed 18 years (2003–2021) of MODIS-Aqua daily images and multi-
annual monthly mean turbidity maps to provide a comprehensive characterization of …

Fronts are boundaries between distinct water masses that can aggregate or segregate
flotsam, detritus, phytoplankton and zooplankton. Studies of large-scale offshore fronts …

There is a paucity of data on seabird assemblages at sea in tropical waters, particularly in
the western Atlantic Ocean, such as distribution and species occurrence. Here, we describe …

Sediment trap samples from the southwestern Bay of Bengal were obtained at a water depth
of about 900 m at sampling intervals of 17–27 days during three time periods (November …

Understanding the forcing mechanisms that determine the coastal ecosystem dynamics has
always been a challenging topic of research. The Arabian Sea (AS) coastal ecosystem in the …
