Measuring riverine macroplastic: Methods, harmonisation, and quality control
Water Research, 2023 River systems are a key environmental recipient of macroplastic pollution. Understanding the sources of macroplastic to rivers and the mechanisms controlling fate and transport is essential to identify and tailor measures that can effectively reduce global plastic pollution. Several guidelines exist for monitoring macroplastic in rivers; yet, no single

Revista Peruana de BiologíaThis study analyses the diet composition and macroplastic ingestion in green turtles (Chelonia mydas) from Sechura Bay, northern Peru, based on digestive tract samples collected during two periods: 2001–2004 and 2013–2014.

Waders in a sea of debris: a global overview
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The impact of plastic pollution on ecosystems and marine fauna is well documented, although research into its effects on waders (also known as shorebirds) remains limited. Given that waders are exposed to coastal marine litter, this exposure could be a significant factor in the decline of their populations. This study aims to assess the global

Adverse effects of microplastics and oxidative stress-induced MAPK/Nrf2 pathway-mediated defense mechanisms in the marine copepod Paracyclopina nana [PDF]
, 2017 Microplastic pollution causes a major concern in the marine environment due to their worldwide distribution, persistence, and adverse effects of these pollutants in the marine ecosystem.

Impact of Mangrove Forest Structure and Landscape on Macroplastics Capture
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2023 Des réseaux complexes de racines et de troncs hors sol font que les forêts de mangroves piègent les déchets plastiques. Nous avons testé la relation entre les macroplastiques et la biomasse des arbres, l'abondance des racines, la géomorphologie des mangroves et la proximité de l'embouchure des rivières, en étudiant les marges terrestres et maritimes de

Frontiers in Water, 2022 Land-based plastic waste, carried to the sea through rivers, is considered a main source of marine plastic pollution. However, most plastics that leak into the environment never make it into the ocean.
