Temporal Trends and Potential Drivers of Stranded Marine Debris on Beaches Within Two US National Marine Sanctuaries Using Citizen Science Data

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2020
Marine debris is a threat to our ocean that can be more effectively addressed through monitoring and assessment of items stranded on shorelines. This study engaged citizen scientists to conduct shoreline marine debris surveys according to a published ...

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 ...

Marine debris plan [PDF]

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2008
A new U.S. federal interagency report on preventing and reducing marine debris focuses on responses to debris already in the environment, prevention of debris, research and development, and coordination among agencies. The report, released on 22 September, was prepared by 11 federal agencies and is intended to guide the strategies of federal agencies ...

Automatic Marine Debris Inspection

Aerospace, 2023
Plastic trash can be found anywhere, around the marina, beaches, and coastal areas in recent times. This study proposes a trash dataset called HAIDA and a trash detector that uses a YOLOv4-based object detection algorithm to monitor coastal trash pollution efficiently.

Superlubricity and Corrosion Inhibition Properties of Solvate Ionic Liquids in Hybrid Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic–Steel Interfaces

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Solvate ionic liquids lubrication reduced the coefficient of friction by ∼60% compared to dry sliding, reaching steady‐state values as low as 0.04–0.05. Corrosion weight‐loss measurements in 1 M HCl further demonstrated significant inhibition behavior, with only 100 ppm of [Li(G3)][TFSI] (∼68.5 μL/L) reducing corrosion‐product weight loss by 63 ...

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

Collection of Marine Debris by Jointly Using UAV-UUV With GUI for Simple Operation

IEEE Access, 2021
In recent years, floating debris in the sea has damaged the environment and harmed wildlife. Systems for collecting floating marine debris in the open ocean by installing a huge net or using a vacuum device have been proposed. However, to the best of our
