Proof of concept for a new sensor to monitor marine litter from space [PDF]

Nature Communications
Worldwide, governments are implementing strategies to combat marine litter. However, their effectiveness is largely unknown because we lack tools to systematically monitor marine litter over broad spatio-temporal scales.

Marine Litter Detection by Sentinel-2: A Case Study in North Adriatic (Summer 2020)

Remote Sensing, 2022
Aggregates of floating materials detected in North Adriatic in six Sentinel-2 scenes of August 2020 have been investigated. Most of the floating materials were identified by the chlorophyll red edge and consisted of vegetal materials, probably conveyed ...

Marine Litter Windrows: A Strategic Target to Understand and Manage the Ocean Plastic Pollution

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Windrow is a long-established term for the aggregations of seafoam, seaweeds, plankton and natural debris that appear on the ocean surface. Here, we define a “litter windrow” as any aggregation of floating litter at the submesoscale domain (<10 km ...
