Uncovering the relationship between floating marine litter and human activities in watersheds
Marine Pollution BulletinRivers serve as the primary pathway for transporting floating marine litter (FML) from land to sea. However, the complex dynamics of transboundary rivers pose a significant obstacle when examining the impact of watershed-based human activities on FML distribution. This study conducts year-long monthly monitoring of FML using trawl and visual surveys in

Modeling and Control of a Floating Marine Litter Collection Device
OCEANS 2025 BrestMarine litter poses a significant environmental threat, with detrimental effects on marine ecosystems through toxic chemical release, entanglement, ingestion by marine life, and microplastic formation. Floating waste collection devices, such as the Waste Out of Water (WoW) system developed by the University of Florence, offer a solution by intercepting

Floating marine macro litter distribution in White, Barents and Kara seas in 2021
2022<p>Among other marine environmental problems, the issue of marine litter accumulation in the World Oceans is of increased interest. It is relevant not only in areas with direct intense anthropogenic pressure, but also in remote and presumably pristine areas, such as the Arctic Sea.

Anthropogenic disturbance in driving floating marine litter across three coastal interfaces
Marine Pollution BulletinFloating marine litter (FML), due to its persistence and long-range transport potential, has significant impacts on the global marine environment and biodiversity. The coastal watershed interface is a major contributor to this issue, highlighting the importance of quantifying the impact of anthropogenic disturbance on FML for effective management. This

FLOATING MARINE LITTER IN THE BOKA KOTORSKA BAY (SOUTHEAST ADRIATIC SEA)
Water 2024 : conference proceedings 53rd Annual Conference of the Serbian Water Pollution Control SocietyThis paper presents the results of visual monitoring of floating marine litter (>2.5 cm) in the area of the Bokakotorska bay, conducted during three seasons, autumn and winter 2022 and spring 2023. A total of 148 of litter items were collected, the most represented category of marine litter was plastic (84.45%), while considering the size classes ...

Sustainable Electromechanical Solution for Floating Marine Litter Collection in Calm Marinas
OCEANS 2024 - HalifaxIn the last few years, marine litter has been drawing considerable attention due to the negative effects it has on the marine environment. Water properties alteration, fish entanglement and generation of microplastics are just some of the problems marine litter causes, requiring scientific research to provide solutions to address this issue.

Dispersion of floating marine litter: Lagrangian numerical simulations at coastal scales
Coastal zones are recognised sinks for plastic debris, although studying the transport and dispersion of plastic debris in nearshore waters remains challenging. The understanding of coastal processes and how these can be applied to numerical modelling studies is not yet fully mature.Ivan Hernandez +4 more

Floating marine litter ignoring does not mean non existing
2009Dominantni dijelovi istočnog Jadranskog arhipelaga pod najezdom su otpada. Posebno su izloženi atraktivni južni dijelovi s pučinskim orocima gdje otpad u odnosima od 40% do 90% nosi oznake podrijetla iz Italije, Grčke, Albanije i Crne Gore. Na ovaj način i do te mjere ugroženi dijelovi arhipelaga, koji ulazi duboko u Europsko kopno, propituju pozicije ...

TRACE: An approach to detect, track and monitor large floating marine litter in our seas
Marine debris is a severe environmental problem. It originates from many sources and causes a wide spectrum of environmental, economic, safety, health and cultural impacts. Millions of tonnes enter the oceans every year and tackling the issue is gaining momentum at all levels.Our project presents an approach to detect and track floating marine debris ...Tobias Weiß, Mathias Bochow
