Apr 1, 2023 · Over the past decade, marine debris has been regarded as a major anthropogenic threat to marine ecosystems and gained scientific attention around the globe. However, the sources, types, abundance, distribution, and potential consequences of marine debris on reef ecosystems are hardly known.
Sep 1, 2022 · The basin is vulnerable to possible accumulation of marine debris, since its dynamics is characterized by an inward surface flow of water from the Atlantic that hampers surface floating debris from being flushed out (Zambianchi et al., 2017). There is only a residual flow of deep water out of the Mediterranean basin, which results in floating litter remaining within the Mediterranean and ...
of marine debris are not only aesthetic; it has serious impacts on marine organisms, habitats and ecosystems, as well as on human health and well-being.

We quantified perceived and demonstrated impacts across several levels of biological organization that make up the ecosystem and found 366 perceived threats of debris across all levels. Two hundred and ninety-six of these perceived threats were tested, 83% of which were demonstrated. The majority (82%) of demonstrated impacts were due to ...
