Early microbial biofilm formation on marine plastic debris

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2011
An important aspect of the global problem of plastic debris pollution is plastic buoyancy. There is some evidence that buoyancy is influenced by attached biofilms but as yet this is poorly understood. We submerged polyethylene plastic in seawater and sampled weekly for 3 weeks in order to study early stage processes.

Corporate social responsibility in marine plastic debris governance

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2018
This paper explores the governance characteristics of marine plastic debris, some of the factors underpinning its severity, and examines the possibility of harnessing corporate social responsibility (CSR) to manage plastic use within the contextual attitudes of a contemporary global society.

Monitoring the abundance of plastic debris in the marine environment [PDF]

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2009
Plastic debris has significant environmental and economic impacts in marine systems. Monitoring is crucial to assess the efficacy of measures implemented to reduce the abundance of plastic debris, but it is complicated by large spatial and temporal heterogeneity in the amounts of plastic debris and by our limited understanding of the pathways followed ...
