New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 60, Issue 3, September 2026.Plastics are a known but inconsistently researched challenge to Aotearoa New Zealand's inland freshwater systems. Understanding plastic origins, movement, and removal options for individual water bodies can enhance management efforts. This exploratory study quantified meso‐ and macroplastics entering Lake Rotorua through stormwater streams and assessed

Toward Plastic‐Free Vineyards: The Role of Bioplastics in Sustainable Viticulture—A Review
Polymers for Advanced Technologies, Volume 37, Issue 9, September 2026.ABSTRACT Agricultural value chains consume more than 12.5 Mt. of plastics annually, and vineyard systems are a notable source of short‐lived plastic waste. In viticulture, conventional plastics improve agricultural efficiency, crop protection, and wine quality, but their widespread use raises environmental and health concerns.

Preferential deposition of macroplastic on floodplains
Cambridge Prisms: PlasticsAbstract Floods have a large impact on the mobilization, distribution, and retention of plastic in rivers. During floods plastic transport in rivers increases, due to flushing of additional material into the river and (re-)mobilization of macroplastic previously deposited on floodplains and buried in the riverbed.

Deep learning for detecting macroplastic litter in water bodies: A review
, 2023 Plastic pollution in water bodies is an unresolved environmental issue that damages all aquatic environments, and causes economic and health problems. Accurate detection of macroplastic litter (plastic items >5 mm) in water is essential to estimate ...

Suitability of river plastic monitoring methods for citizen science
Cambridge Prisms: PlasticsRivers act as long-term plastic storage and a pathway for land-based plastic pollution into the ocean. Monitoring river plastic at a global scale remains challenging, with only limited large-scale and long-term monitoring efforts to date. Citizen science

Plastic Hotspot Mapping in Urban Water Systems
Geosciences, 2020 Reducing plastic pollution in rivers, lakes, and oceans is beneficial to aquatic animals and human livelihood. To achieve this, reliable observations of the abundance, spatiotemporal variation, and composition of plastics in aquatic ecosystems are ...

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.Macroplastic and other types of macroscopic anthropogenic litter (AL; trash, particles > 5 mm) are pervasive across ecosystems, persistent in the environment, increasing in abundance, and can degrade into microplastics (particles < 5 mm). Rivers retain and transform AL prior to export downstream, but improved predictions of AL distribution and movement

Data_Sheet_1_A Methodology to Characterize Riverine Macroplastic Emission Into the Ocean.pdf
, 2018 Land-based macroplastic is considered one of the major sources of marine plastic debris. However, estimations of plastic emission from rivers into the oceans remain scarce and uncertain, mainly due to a severe lack of standardized observations.
