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 ...

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2023 The potential for marine litter being trapped in biodiverse marine habitats such as mangrove forests, seagrass meadows and coral reefs is poorly understood. This study presents the first comprehensive investigation on the status of macro-litter across four marine habitats in Singapore during the two monsoonal seasons.
