Temporal trends in anthropogenic marine macro-debris and micro-debris accumulation on the California Channel Islands

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Accumulation of anthropogenic marine debris on shorelines is an issue of global concern, even impacting areas that are remote, uninhabited, or have protected area status.

Marine Debris on New Zealand Beaches - Baseline Data to Evaluate Regional Variances

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2021
Terrestrial sources of marine debris on beaches are substantial, increasing, and are primarily a result of mismanaged waste on land. The scale, source, and composition of beached marine debris in New Zealand was determined by surveying 41 beaches, with ...

Benthic marine algae on Japanese tsunami marine debris – a morphological documentation of the species. Part 2 – The brown algae [PDF]

To determine the invasion threat to the NE Pacific of marine algae arriving on Japanese debris from the 2011 Great Tōhoku Earthquake and Tsunami, my colleagues and I identified the algal species on 42 of the most heavily fouled debris items that landed ...

Rise velocity of small polyolefin plastics in a seawater tank exposed to natural conditions in Hawai’i

Environmental Research Communications
Floating plastic is ubiquitous at the ocean surface, but the transport mechanisms associated with the type of particle and the effect of environmental parameters, including the presence of a biofilm on the polymers, are very limited.

Life cycle environmental assessment of marine debris and post-consumer waste plastics into asphalt pavements

Cleaner Environmental Systems
This study evaluates locally adapted recycling strategies for marine derelict fishing gear (DFG) and post-consumer waste (PCW) plastics in Hawaiʻi using a life cycle assessment (LCA) framework. Comparative cradle-to-gate LCAs were conducted to assess the

Separation of microplastics from deep-sea sediment using an affordable, simple to use, and easily accessible density separation device

Microplastics and Nanoplastics
Microplastics accumulate in the environment but methods to extract particles from sediment for quantification and identification often lack accuracy and reproducibility.
