The Mediterranean Sea is a closed basin with limited water exchange through the Strait of Gibraltar, and sites along its shores show the greatest densities of marine debris in the world. Plastic bottles, which are a growing concern due to high consumption of soft drinks and bottled water, const...
Plastic accumulation in the Mediterranean sea. Concentrations of floating plastic were measured throughout the Mediterranean Sea to assess whether this basin can be regarded as a great accumulation region of plastic debris. We found that the average density of plastic (1 item per 4 m... Andrés,...
In the aftermath of the devastating Storm Daniel that hit the eastern Mediterranean in September 2023, this study leveraged Sentinel-2 satellite imagery to assess runoff-carried floating marine debris and natural debris in the Aegean Sea. Two key regions, the Pagasetic Gulf and the Pineios River...
from 2007-2013 across all five sub-tropical gyres, coastal Australia, Bay of Bengal, and the Mediterranean Sea. The data included information about microplastics collected using nets and large plastic debris from visual surveys, which were then used to calibrate anoceanmodel of plastic distribution....
resulting in increased parameters such as TDS, conductivity, and hardness. A similar study by Ref.88on the Ganga River, utilizing the OIP index, revealed acceptable water quality in summer and winter, with pollution observed in the monsoon season due to significant sediment runoff, debris, and ...

Despite being far from centres of human population, the unique oceanographic features of The Gully (i.e. currents and bathymetric complexity) may concentrate plastic debris, increasing exposure rates of whales to plastic pollution. The increase in micro-sized and small plastics over time suggests ...
