Notice of Retraction: The analysis over marine plastic litter

2010 International Conference on Computer Application and System Modeling (ICCASM 2010), 2010
In this paper, we made use of the similarity between the movement of buoy and plastic litter in the ocean and took the motion track of buoy as that of plastic litter. By means of statistical regression, we simulated the motion track of buoy and gained the approximate motion track of plastic litter.

Impacts of marine litter on cetaceans: a focus on plastic pollution

2018
Marine litter has become a pervasive pollution problem affecting all of the world's seas. It is widely documented that marine litter, in particular plastic, has negative impacts on marine wildlife, primarily due to ingestion and entanglement. Since most cetacean species (more than 66%) are adversely affected by this pollution, this chapter is devoted ...
