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

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

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
