Effects of macroplastic on the performance of aggregates of Mytilus spp. and their associated biota

, 2021
The presence of macroplastic in the ocean poses a threat to many marine organisms. The majority of recent studies, however, is focused on the impact of microplastic.

Framework for systematic monitoring of roadside litter emission and transport at the river catchment scale

Frontiers in Environmental Science
The negative impact of macrolitter, especially plastics, on ecosystems is well known. River catchments serve as critical environmental conduits, transporting water alongside natural and anthropogenic sediment from terrestrial features, such as slopes and

Spatial Patterns, Composition, and Size Characteristics of Riverbank and Floating Macroplastic Debris in the Can Tho River, Mekong Delta, Vietnam

Microplastics
Macroplastic pollution in rivers is an increasing environmental concern because rivers function simultaneously as active transport pathways and temporary storage compartments for land-based plastic waste. This study investigated the spatial distribution,

Physiological and structural responses of blue mussel aggregates (Mytilus spp.) to macroplastic filaments – in situ experiments in the inlet of Kerteminde Fjord, Denmark

, 2022
The threat of ocean plastic pollution for marine ecosystems became a global environmental concern. Distribution, composition, and the ecological consequences for marine organisms of plastic debris, considering different plastic types and sizes, had been ...

Plastic pollution and water hyacinths consistently co-occur in the lower Saigon river

Environmental Research: Water
Plastic pollution is an emerging entity threatening freshwater and marine ecosystems. Rivers play an important role in the transport and retention of plastic between land and sea.

A transport and accumulation model for macroplastics in rivers

ABSTRACT: We present a novel model that simulates macroplastic transport and retention in rivers, and which explicitly considers plastic accumulation in floodplains. The modelling ap-proach is based on a simplified representation of flow distributions between river channel and floodplains in non-uniform compound channels.

Drift velocity of morphologically diverse macrophytes and macroplastic particles under current and wind forcing

This dataset comprises drift velocity measurements for 22 morphologically diverse macroalgae species (n = 54), the seagrass Zostera marina (n = 7), and macroplastic particles (n = 6).

Model Prediction of Macroplastic Distributions in European Marine Basins: Comparison with Beach and Floating Macroplastic Observations and Estimation of Model Accuracy

Oceans
Accumulation of plastic litter in the marine environment is a pressing global concern. To study this issue, we use the Blue2 Modelling Framework (Blue2MF), an integrated modelling tool developed by the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European ...
