Pansharpening PRISMA Data for Marine Plastic Litter Detection Using Plastic Indexes

IEEE Access, 2021
Hyperspectral PRISMA images are new and have not yet been evaluated for their ability to detect marine plastic litter. The hyperspectral PRISMA images have a fine spectral resolution, however, their spatial resolution is not high enough to enable the ...

Public preferences for marine plastic litter management across Europe

Ecological Economics, 2023
Plastic pollution is one of the most challenging problems affecting the marine environment of our time. Based on a unique dataset covering four European seas and eight European countries, this paper adds to the limited empirical evidence base related to the societal welfare effects of marine litter management.

The costs of removing the unsanctioned import of marine plastic litter to small island states [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2020
Small island states receive unprecedented amounts of the world’s plastic waste. In March 2019, we removed as much plastic litter as possible from Aldabra Atoll, a remote UNESCO World Heritage Site, and estimated the money and effort required to remove ...
