Quantitative overview of marine debris ingested by marine megafauna
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2020 This review quantifies plastic interaction in marine biota. Firstly, entanglement and ingestion records for all marine birds, mammals, turtles, fish, and invertebrate species, are summarized from 747 studies. Marine debris affected 914 species through entanglement and/or ingestion. Ingestion was recorded for 701 species, entanglement was documented for

The development of an international regime for marine plastic pollution: fulfilling legal gaps to strengthen ocean resilience [PDF]
, 2022 Plastic pollution is a modality of transboundary pollution, as it originates in one location, but when crossing borders by air or water, causes damage to the environment of other regions. Principles and rules regarding transboundary marine pollution were

Toward the Integrated Marine Debris Observing System [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019 Plastics and other artificial materials pose new risks to health of the ocean. Anthropogenic debris travels across large distances and is ubiquitous in the water and on the shorelines, yet, observations of its sources, composition, pathways and distributions in the ocean are very sparse and inaccurate.

Effects of submerged marine debris on species composition and community characteristics of macrobenthos in the subtidal zone of Jeju Island, Korea [PDF]
, 2022 Marine plastic debris, which does not readily decompose, remains present for a long time after sinking into the ocean. Increased levels of submerged marine debris can alter local species compositions and benthic community characteristics.
