Beaching model for buoyant marine debris in bore-driven swash [PDF]

open access: yesFlow, 3 E35 9 (2023), 2023
Marine debris pollution is a growing problem impacting aquatic ecosystems, coastal recreation, and human society. Beaches are known to be a sink for debris, and beaching needs to be accounted for in marine debris mass balances. The process of buoyant debris beaching is not sufficiently well understood in order to include this process yet.
