Urban River Water Level Increase Through Plastic Waste Accumulation at a Rack Structure
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020 Plastic debris in water systems is a major challenge for our ecosystem, because it is extremely persistent in the environment. Apart from the importance of reducing the amount of plastic entering the ocean, clearing the rivers from debris is important ...

The Potential Role of Marine Fungi in Plastic Degradation – A Review
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Plastic debris has been accumulating in the marine realm since the start of plastic mass production in the 1950s. Due to the adverse effects on ocean life, the fate of plastics in the marine environment is an increasingly important environmental issue ...

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)
