The impact of debris on marine life.
Marine debris is listed among the major perceived threats to biodiversity, and is cause for particular concern due to its abundance, durability and persistence in the marine environment. An extensive literature search reviewed the current state of knowledge on the effects of marine debris on marine organisms. 340 original publications reported encounters between organisms and marine debris and ...
متن کاملPhysical transport properties of marine microplastic pollution
Biogeosciences Discussions This discussion paper is/has been under review for the journal Biogeosciences (BG). Please refer to the corresponding final paper in BG if available. Abstract Given the complexity of quantitative collection, knowledge of the distribution of mi-croplastic pollution in many regions of the world ocean is patchy, both spatially and temporally, especially for the subsurfac...
متن کاملLinking social drivers of marine debris with actual marine debris on beaches.
The drivers (social) and pressures (physical) of marine debris have typically been examined separately. We redress this by using social and beach surveys at nine Tasmanian beaches, across three coastlines and within three categories of urbanisation, to examine whether people acknowledge that their actions contribute to the issue of marine debris, and whether these social drivers are reflected i...
متن کاملMarine Debris Occurrence and Treatment: a Review
7 Marine debris produces a wide variety of negative environmental, economic, safety, health and 8 cultural impacts. Most marine litter has a very low decomposition rate (as plastics, which are the 9 most abundant type of marine debris), leading to a gradual, but significant accumulation in the 10 coastal and marine environment. Along that time, marine debris is a significant source of 11 chemic...
متن کاملSusceptibility of Sardinella lemuru to emerging marine microplastic pollution
Marine microplastics are emerging pollutants that impact across levels of marine food chain at a global scale. Its presence was determined on Sardinella lemuru, a commercial pelagic fish that are harvested generally in the Northern Mindanao, consumed locally, and exported worldwide as bottled or canned sardine products. The stomach contents of 600 sardines were examined visually under...
