The pollution of the marine environment by plastic debris: a review
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2002The deleterious effects of plastic debris on the marine environment were reviewed by bringing together most of the literature published so far on the topic. A large number of marine species is known to be harmed and/or killed by plastic debris, which could jeopardize their survival, especially since many are already endangered by other forms of ...

Management of Marine Plastic Debris and Microplastics
2022Marine plastic debris are becoming an emerging global environmental threat. This chapter emphasizes the status of marine plastic pollution and management approaches. Plastic pollutants are mainly classified based on the size as degrading large plastic items that form nanoplastics (1–100 nm: 0.001–0.1 μm) and microplastics (0.1–5,000 μm).

Plastic and paint debris in marine protected areas of Peru
Science of The Total Environment, 2023Contamination with anthropogenic debris, such as plastic and paint particles, has been widely investigated in the global marine environment. However, there is a lack of information regarding their presence in marine protected areas (MPAs). In the present study, the abundance, distribution, and chemical characteristics of microplastics (MPs;

Plastic marine debris on the Portuguese coastline: A matter of size?
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2011Plastic debris is a worldwide threat to marine environments and Portugal is not immune to it. Though never quantified, items of all sizes can be found in the Portuguese coastline; therefore the objective of this work is the identification of main size classes in stranded plastic debris.

Seabird breeding islands as sinks for marine plastic debris
Environmental Pollution, 2021Seabirds are apex predators in the marine environment and well-known ecosystem engineers, capable of changing their terrestrial habitats by introducing marine-derived nutrients via deposition of guano and other allochthonous inputs. However, with the health of the world's oceans under threat due to anthropogenic pressures such as organic, inorganic ...

Sources of plastic marine debris on beaches of Korea: More from the ocean than the land
Ocean Science Journal, 2014 Reduction of marine debris requires knowledge of its sources. Sources of plastic marine debris found on six beaches of Korea were estimated. Samples larger than 25 mm were collected from 10 quadrats of 5 x 5 m for each beach in spring 2013. The total 752

Marine pollution due to littering from anthropogenic activities is a serious global environmental problem—the main reason accumulation of debris in the environment, including in the ocean. There is a significant hazard coming from plastic debris. Besides entanglement and ingestion, marine plastics debris has more complex problems and can release ...

Life in the “Plastisphere”: Microbial Communities on Plastic Marine Debris
Environmental Science & Technology, 2013Plastics are the most abundant form of marine debris, with global production rising and documented impacts in some marine environments, but the influence of plastic on open ocean ecosystems is poorly understood, particularly for microbial communities.
