Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2022
China is one of the largest waste importers and producers in the world, with land-based discharges mainly from domestic sewage and industrial wastes being the main source of marine debris (MD) including three distributional types as stranding on the beach (BMD), floating on the water surface (FMD), and submerging into sediments (SMD).

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.

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2021
Marine debris is a persistent and pervasive threat worldwide including inside marine protected areas (MPAs). To assess marine debris accumulation rates and potential impacts, we counted and evaluated trap, non-trap fishing gear, and non-fishing debris in unprotected areas and MPAs with different management boundary regulations in the Florida Keys (USA).

The impact of debris on marine life
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2015Marine debris is listed among the major perceived threats to biodiversity, and is cause for particular concern due to its abundance, durability and persistence in the marine environment. An extensive literature search reviewed the current state of knowledge on the effects of marine debris on marine organisms.

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).

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.

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.
