Delineating the global plastic marine litter challenge: clarifying the misconceptions [PDF]

Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2020
AbstractPlastics, owing to their various beneficial properties (durability, flexibility and lightweight nature), are widely regarded as the workhorse material of our modern society. Being ubiquitously and increasingly present over the past 60 years, they provide various benefits to the global economy. However, inappropriate and/or uncontrolled disposal

The abundance, distribution and accumulation of plastic debris in Table Bay, Cape Town, South Africa [PDF]

, 2013
Stranded debris and beach litter were examined at two sites in Table Bay, South Africa, repeating a survey made at the same two beaches in 1994. One beach (Milnerton) is a popular recreational beach 12 km from the city centre, whereas the other (Koeberg)

Dispersal of marine plastic litter during tropical cyclones

Marine Pollution Bulletin
Many countries that are substantial contributors to global plastic pollution are also prone to tropical cyclones. Yet, the capacity for tropical cyclones to redistribute plastic waste has not been characterised. To address this, we simulate plastic transport from coasts in the Philippines archipelago during seven tropical cyclones, with a focus on the ...

A framework for inland cities to prevent marine debris: A case study from Durham, North Carolina

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Land-based sources of litter are increasingly recognized as significant contributors to marine debris, and rivers can carry debris to the coast from far-inland sources. In this paper, we demonstrate the important role inland cities can play in the marine
