Modelling floating riverine litter in the south-eastern Bay of Biscay: a regional distribution from a seasonal perspective [PDF]

Ocean Science, 2022
Although rivers contribute to the flux of litter to the marine environment, estimates of riverine litter amounts and detailed studies on floating riverine litter behaviour once it has reached the sea are still scarce.

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.

Unsteady Ekman‐Stokes Dynamics: Implications for Surface Wave‐Induced Drift of Floating Marine Litter [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters, 2020
Abstract We examine Stokes drift and wave‐induced transport of floating marine litter on the surface of a rotating ocean with a turbulent mixed layer. Due to Coriolis‐Stokes forcing and surface wave stress, a second‐order Eulerian‐mean flow forms, which must be added to the Stokes drift to obtain the correct wave‐induced Lagrangian ...

Detection of Floating Marine Litter Transport Structure Based on Particle Relative Dispersion in Mulan Bay, Hainan [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
Based on the FVCOM model and particle tracking model, this study simulates the material transport process in Mulan Bay and the surrounding sea areas of Hainan, and analyzes the dispersion characteristics and transport structure of the floating marine ...

Numerical analysis of transport and accumulation of floating marine litter in the Black Sea.

, 2023
Floating marine litter (FML) is a global problem because of the risk it poses to marine life and human health. In a semi-enclosed basin such as the Black Sea, the slow replenishment of water and the strong input from European rivers potentially favoured the increasing accumulation of FML. In this sense, it is absolutely necessary to generate strategies

Real-Time Instance Segmentation for Detection of Underwater Litter as a Plastic Source

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
Thousands of tonnes of litter enter the ocean every day, posing a significant threat to marine life and ecosystems. While floating and beach litter are often in the spotlight, about 70% of marine litter eventually sinks to the seafloor, making underwater

FLOATING MARINE LITTER IN THE NORTHEASTERN ATLANTIC IN AUTUMN 2022

Journal of Oceanological Research, 2023
Ship-borne observations of floating marine litter in the northeastern region of the Atlantic Ocean were carried out during the 45th cruise of the R/V “Professor Logachev”. The route of the vessel covered the waters of the Baltic, North Seas, the English Channel, the northeastern region of the Atlantic Ocean. A small amount of floating marine litter was

Modeling the Fate and Distribution of Floating Litter Particles in the Aegean Sea (E. Mediterranean)

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2017
A circulation model is coupled to a Lagrangian particle-tracking model to simulate the transport floating litter particles in the Aegean Sea, Greece (Eastern Mediterranean). Considering different source regions and release dates, simulations were carried
