Riverine Litter Flux to the Northeastern Part of the Black Sea
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 Rivers are among the main sources of marine litter, especially for semi-isolated sea areas with high populations and intense economic activity. The semi-isolated Black Sea located in the Eastern Europe is an example of such an area, whose watershed basin

Floating Riverine Litter Flux to the White Sea: Seasonal Changes in Abundance and Composition
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 Arctic rivers bring litter from their basins to the sea, but accurate data for the Arctic do not exist yet. This study presents the first assessment of floating macro litter input (>2.5 cm) from the Northern Dvina and Onega rivers to the White Sea.
