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 ...

Linking social drivers of marine debris with actual marine debris on beaches
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2012The drivers (social) and pressures (physical) of marine debris have typically been examined separately. We redress this by using social and beach surveys at nine Tasmanian beaches, across three coastlines and within three categories of urbanisation, to examine whether people acknowledge that their actions contribute to the issue of marine debris, and ...

w/k - Between Science and Art, 2018
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.

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 ...

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.

Recycling of Marine Plastic Debris
2021Although marine debris has been accumulating for many decades, only during the last three the accumulation of millions of waste tons at seas and oceans has generated interest and concern of scientists and governments. While marine debris may present different origins and nature, polymers lead in abundance.

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2018
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.

Remote sensing of marine debris
2016 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS), 2016The accumulation and impacts in the ocean of marine debris generated by anthropogenic activities and aggravated by natural disasters are of growing concern, yet our existing data collection systems are rudimentary and cannot answer even fundamental questions.
