Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 IntroductionFloating marine litter (FML) is a global problem with significant risks to marine life and human health. In semi-enclosed basins like the Black Sea, slow water replenishment and strong input from European rivers create conditions that can lead to the accumulation of FML.

Toward a Harmonized Approach for Monitoring of Riverine Floating Macro Litter Inputs to the Marine Environment [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2017 A high percentage of the litter entering the marine environment is assumed to come from land-based sources, but freshwater litter inputs have not been quantified. The lack of data and knowledge on fluxes of riverine litter to the sea, i.e., quantities and sources, hinders implementation of appropriate environmental regulations and mitigation measures ...

Presence of marine floating litter and vulnerable species in the Central Mediterranean Sea
2023 IEEE International Workshop on Metrology for the Sea; Learning to Measure Sea Health Parameters (MetroSea), 2023Floating marine litter is a worldwide problem, causing significant pollution in seas and oceans and impacting various marine species. Among these species, cetaceans, such as whales and dolphins, and sea turtles are particularly vulnerable, suffering entanglement and ingestion as the primary consequences.

Floating marine litter is known to be currently a widespread pollution problem, especially in the Mediterranean basin, but records on the levels of floating debris in the eastern part are less known. By using an observation platform (32 days, 137 transects, 1784 km), this study provides evidence of a high amount of floating debris in the Levantine sub ...

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2021
Floating Marine Litter (FML) are mainly plastics or synthetic polymers that float on the sea surface after being deliberately discarded or unintentionally lost along beaches, rivers or marine environments. In recent years, much focus has been placed on locating, tracking and removing plastic items in both coastal areas and in the open ocean. The use of

Fishing for floating marine litter in SE Bay of Biscay: Review and feasibility study
Marine Policy, 2015Abstract Marine litter is one of the descriptors in the European Marine Strategy Framework Directive, which aims to achieve a healthy marine environment and make ecosystems more resilient to climate change. Most experiences have been focused upon quantifying the abundance and distribution of marine litter, on beaches in particular.

Real-Time Floating Marine Litter Detection on USV
2024 IEEE International Workshop on Metrology for the Sea; Learning to Measure Sea Health Parameters (MetroSea)Marine litter is harmful to coastal and ocean environments for many reasons. Many devices have been developed in the last few years to recover as much litter as possible in ports and coastal areas. However, they usually employ a brute-force approach, leading to high energy and resource consumption.

Sponges on floating marine litter
This study aims to document the first occurrence of the sponge (Haliclona sp.) adhered to plastic in Brazil. This observation was made at Charitas Beach, located in Guanabara Bay (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), within its known distribution range in the Atlantic Ocean. However, anthropogenic activities might be expanding their distribution.Gabriel de Oliveira +4 more
