This review critically evaluates the plastic accumulation challenges and their environmental
(primarily) and human (secondarily) impacts. It also emphasizes on their degradation and …

Ocean plastic can persist in sea surface waters, eventually accumulating in remote areas of
the world's oceans. Here we characterise and quantify a major ocean plastic accumulation …

Abstract The South China Sea is receiving a considerable plastic discharge and is a hot
place for microplastics (MPs). Characterized by seasonal basin-scale circulation and strong …

Anthropogenic marine debris, mainly of plastic origin, is accumulating in estuarine and
coastal environments around the world causing damage to fauna, flora and habitats. Plastics …

Anthropogenic marine debris (AMD) is frequently studied on sandy beaches and
occasionally in coastal waters, but links between these two environments have rarely been …

Abstract Anthropogenic Marine Debris (AMD) is one of the major environmental issues of
our planet to date, and plastic accounts for 80% of total AMD. Beaches represent one of the …

Numerical modelling is a key tool in understanding and determining the sources, trajectories
and fates of micro-plastic debris (MPD). In this study, we introduce TrackMPD, a new …

The abundance and distribution of microplastics in estuaries have been barely documented,
and generally without accounting for the vertical structure in the water column. This study …

Marine litter, such as plastic bags, bottles, fabrics, or fishing gear, serve as a shelter for many
marine organisms that are likely to colonize artificial substrata. Such assemblages can …

Plastic marine debris (PMD) is of global concern. To help address this problem, a novel
approach for estimating PMD volumes using a combination of unmanned aerial vehicle …
