An analogues-based forecasting system for Mediterranean marine-litter concentration [PDF]

Ocean Science, 2023
In this work, we explore the performance of a statistical forecasting system for marine-litter concentration in the Mediterranean Sea. In particular, we assess the potential skills of a system based on the analogues method.

Transport and accumulation of floating marine litter in the Black Sea: insights from numerical modeling

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Floating marine litter (FML) is a global problem with significant risks to marine life and human health. In semi-enclosed basins like the Black Sea, slow water replenishment and strong input from European rivers create conditions that can lead to the ...

Litter traps: A comparison of four marine habitats as sinks for anthropogenic marine macro-litter in Singapore

, 2023
The potential for marine litter being trapped in biodiverse marine habitats such as mangrove forests, seagrass meadows and coral reefs is poorly understood.

Assessment of Marine Litter in the Coralligenous Habitat of a Marine Protected Area along the Ionian Coast of Sicily (Central Mediterranean)

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020
In the Mediterranean Sea, the coralligenous is an extremely important habitat for its biodiversity and role in carbon sequestration. However, coralligenous biocenosis is sensitive to many anthropogenic impacts, among which one of the major threats is the

Marine Litter Windrows: A Strategic Target to Understand and Manage the Ocean Plastic Pollution

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Windrow is a long-established term for the aggregations of seafoam, seaweeds, plankton and natural debris that appear on the ocean surface. Here, we define a “litter windrow” as any aggregation of floating litter at the submesoscale domain (<10 km ...

Litter Windrows in the South-East Coast of the Bay of Biscay: An Ocean Process Enabling Effective Active Fishing for Litter

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Large scale convergence regions of floating marine litter are commonly observed in semi-enclosed seas as the Bay of Biscay. However, clean-up activities on such accumulation regions are limited by the spread of the large-size floating litter on the sea ...

Oceanographic and anthropogenic variables driving marine litter distribution in Mediterranean protected areas: Extensive field data supported by forecasting modelling.

Science of the Total Environment, 2023
Marine litter concentration in the Mediterranean Sea is strongly influenced both by anthropogenic pressures and hydrodynamic factors that locally characterise the basin.
