Measuring Marine Plastic Debris from Space: Initial Assessment of Observation Requirements
Remote Sensing, 2019 Sustained observations are required to determine the marine plastic debris mass balance and to support effective policy for planning remedial action. However, observations currently remain scarce at the global scale.

The Potential Role of Marine Fungi in Plastic Degradation – A Review
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Plastic debris has been accumulating in the marine realm since the start of plastic mass production in the 1950s. Due to the adverse effects on ocean life, the fate of plastics in the marine environment is an increasingly important environmental issue ...

Gastropods on Marine Debris at Mangrove Ecosystem
Jurnal Biodjati, 2023 The mangrove ecosystem is one of the accumulation areas for various marine debris including plastic and also the habitat for gastropods. This condition allows direct contact between gastropods and debris which can be an entranceway for contamination in ...

A framework for inland cities to prevent marine debris: A case study from Durham, North Carolina
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Land-based sources of litter are increasingly recognized as significant contributors to marine debris, and rivers can carry debris to the coast from far-inland sources. In this paper, we demonstrate the important role inland cities can play in the marine
