Monitoring the abundance of plastic debris in the marine environment
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
Monitoring waste disposal on ships and plastic debris levels in rivers and storm-water runoff is useful because it identifies the main sources of plastic debris entering the sea and can direct mitigation efforts.
