Marine litter prediction by artificial intelligence
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2004Artificial intelligence techniques of neural network and fuzzy systems were applied as alternative methods to determine beach litter grading, based on litter surveys of the Antalya coastline (the Turkish Riviera). Litter measurements were categorized and assessed by artificial intelligence techniques, which lead to a new litter categorization system ...

Anthropogenic litter is found in marine environments from the beach, beach sediment and surface water to the seafloor. Plastic can persist and accumulate in the marine environment for a long period because of its light weight and degradation-resistant properties.

Marine litter on the seafloor of the southern Baltic
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2018Marine litter occurrence and composition were investigated during routine bottom trawl fish surveys type BITS performed in the Polish Maritime Areas (the southern Baltic Sea). Sampling covered a distance of 325km and an area of 16km2 at a depth range of 19-110m. Litter densities varying between 0 items/ha (34% of tows) and 2.23items/ha with a mean of 0.

Economic instruments and marine litter control
Ocean & Coastal Management, 2014This paper provides a comprehensive up-to-date review of the literature on the economic instruments that can reduce marine litter. We assess their cost of implementation, level of effectiveness as well as indirect environmental and socio-economic effects (externalities) that may arise as a result of their implementation.

Sources and Pathways of Marine Litter
2022Plastic pollution is a global transboundary threat to the planet's marine resources. Tracking pollution is crucial to implement effective marine management strategies on coastal and island regions, where mismanaged plastics are most at risk of entering the ocean.

Regulation of marine plastics litter
2023Marine plastics pollution has become a matter of serious concern. There is insufficient research and lack of scientific data regarding its sources, destinations and the consequences befalling on nature and human life. But it is certain that the amount of plastics ending up at sea is alarming and unlikely to disappear anytime soon due to the durability ...
