Spatial distribution and composition of marine litter on sandy beaches along the Indian Ocean coastline in the south Java region, Indonesia

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Marine litter in coastal areas can bring economic, social, and environmental damage, especially the loss of aesthetic value of a tourist site. Therefore, research on the composition of marine litter to identify its sources is important for planning ...

A machine learning-based detection, classification, and quantification of marine litter along the central east coast of India

Frontiers in Marine Science
Globally, the growth of plastic production has increased exponentially from 1.5 million metric tons (Mt) in 1950 to 400.3 Mt in 2022, resulting in a substantial increase of marine litter along the coastal region. Presently, there is a growing interest in

Tackling Marine Litter—LITTERBASE [PDF]

, 2018
Anthropogenic litter contamination of the oceans is a global problem of growing concern and currently receives strongly increasing attention by policy makers, public authorities, media and the general public. Unlike many other pollutants, marine litter on beaches and its deleterious effects on marine mammals, birds and turtles have attracted much ...

Recycled electronic plastic and marine litter [PDF]

Science of The Total Environment, 2019
Black consumer plastics are often contaminated with hazardous chemicals because of technological constraints on sorting dark plastic during recycling of municipal waste coupled with the convenience of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) as a secondary source of black plastic.

Marine litter distribution and density in European seas, from the shelves to deep basins. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Anthropogenic litter is present in all marine habitats, from beaches to the most remote points in the oceans. On the seafloor, marine litter, particularly plastic, can accumulate in high densities with deleterious consequences for its inhabitants.

Marine Litter Tracking System: A Case Study with Open-Source Technology and a Citizen Science-Based Approach. [PDF]

Sensors (Basel), 2023
It is well established that most of the plastic pollution found in the oceans is transported via rivers. Unfortunately, the main processes contributing to plastic and debris displacement through riparian systems is still poorly understood.
