Marine macroinvertebrates inhabiting plastic litter in Peru
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2021Marine litter, such as plastic bags, bottles, fabrics, or fishing gear, serve as a shelter for many marine organisms that are likely to colonize artificial substrata. Such assemblages can potentially turn marine litter into vectors of alien invasive species (AIS).

Marine plastic litter: public perceptions and opinions in Italy
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2021Understanding public perceptions, opinions and knowledge about marine plastic litter issue is a critical step in effectively engaging society and changing human behaviour in order to reduce litter inputs. The study performs a segmentation analysis that jointly considers opinions about sources and impacts of a sample of 605 Italians with a twofold ...

Marine plastic litter detection offshore Hawai'i by Sentinel-2
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2021Marine litter patches were detected from Sentinel-2 offshore Hawaii's Big Island (Hawaii) within 10 miles from the coast in the prevalent windward direction (NE), for a total sea surface of 3.0 km2. The patches have a filament-like shape with different orientation, lengths of several kilometers and width from tens to hundreds of meters.

Hyperspectral characterization of marine plastic litters
2018 IEEE International Workshop on Metrology for the Sea; Learning to Measure Sea Health Parameters (MetroSea), 2018The problem of marine plastic litters is the object of recent worldwide attention and is the object of current decisions of the European Union that require member states to act in a decisive way to improve monitoring and removal of marine plastic litters in the short term.

A new paradigm for estimating the prevalence of plastic litter in the marine environment
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2021The intelligent method proposed herein is formulated on a deep learning technique which can identify, localise and map the shape of plastic debris in the marine environment. Utilising images depicting plastic litter from six beaches in Cyprus, the developed tool pointed to a plastic litter density of 0.035 items/m2.

Remote Sensing of Plastic Marine Litter by Means of Fluorescence LIDAR
IGARSS 2023 - 2023 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2023Plastic marine litter is a global environmental challenge which should rely on several remote sensing techniques for detection and monitoring from local to global scale. Here we investigate the use of the fluorescence LIDAR technique to detect and characterise submerged plastics in the marine environment.

A critical review on marine litter in the Adriatic Sea: Focus on plastic pollution
Environmental Pollution, 2021Marine litter affects various habitats across the world. This review focuses on the Adriatic region, considering the presence of marine litter as well as microplastics (mPs) and macroplastics (MPs) in different environments (water, beach, seabed and biota).

Marine plastic litter: the unanalyzed nano-fraction
Environmental Science: Nano, 2016In this work, we present for the first time undeniable evidence of nano-plastic occurrence due to solar light degradation of marine micro-plastics under controlled and environmentally representative conditions.
