Management of Marine Plastic Debris and Microplastics
2022Marine plastic debris are becoming an emerging global environmental threat. This chapter emphasizes the status of marine plastic pollution and management approaches. Plastic pollutants are mainly classified based on the size as degrading large plastic items that form nanoplastics (1–100 nm: 0.001–0.1 μm) and microplastics (0.1–5,000 μm).

As an artist, Swaantje Güntzel is concerned with the pollution of the oceans by human activities, especially plastic waste in the sea. She collaborates with scientists who provide data and material and answer further questions. With the means of art it is shown how absurd and contradictory human activity often is.

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2014
Six sites (two sites for each of rocky shores, sandy beaches, and fishing ports) in northern Taiwan were selected to investigate the amount and density of marine debris in each of the four seasons and after spring and neap tides from 2012 to 2013. The results indicate that marine debris was higher on rocky shores than sandy beaches and fishing ports ...

Selenium in buoyant marine debris biofilm
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2019Marine debris is widespread in all the world's oceans. Currently little is understood about how marine debris affects the chemistry of the surface oceans, particularly trace elements that can adsorb to the surface of marine debris, especially plastic debris, or be taken up by biofilms and algae growing on the surface of marine debris.

Marine debris visual identification assessment
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2019Estimates of marine debris are often based on beach surveys. Few studies have documented the veracity of these observations and the factors that may affect accuracy. Our laboratory-scale experiment identified potential sources of error associated with visual identification of marine debris (1-2 cm long) during shoreline surveys of sand beaches ...

Ubiquitous around the world, litter—mostly plastic—is not only unsightly but harmful to marine life. Litter on beaches and in the water includes a lot of things—plastic bags, straws, bottles, plastic utensils, toys, all of which fragment into smaller pieces.

Marine pollution due to littering from anthropogenic activities is a serious global environmental problem—the main reason accumulation of debris in the environment, including in the ocean. There is a significant hazard coming from plastic debris. Besides entanglement and ingestion, marine plastics debris has more complex problems and can release ...

Recent studies have demonstrated the negative impacts of microplastics on wildlife. Therefore, the presence of microplastics in marine species for human consumption and the high intake of seafood (fish and shellfish) in some countries cause concern about the potential effects of microplastics on human health.
