The "beach wrack - plastic separator" is the prototype of a simple construction that we used to assess two methods for washing beach wrack. Its main component is a polypropylene...

Surface area was measured with the “Polygon” tool from Google Earth© between the starting and ending coordinates, the back of the beach and the waterline.Litter density per 100...

We analysed microplastic and fibers in snow samples from ice floes in the Fram Strait (2016/17) and from Spitsbergen, Helgoland, Bremen, Bavaria and the Swiss Alps (2018) to...

The Mediterranean Sea and its coastal systems are threatened by intense anthropogenic pressures including rapid accumulation of marine litter by diverse human activities. The...

Plastic is a general term that refers to a family of organic polymers derived from petroleum sources. In general, plastics are classified as polyester (PET), high-density...

Defined as plastic particles <5mm [1], microplastics (MP) are present in many household items and are also formed due to the cracking and embrittlement of larger plastic...

Fish were collected through the CBS MEA/Frosti program and the coastal monitoring program at Shingle Point. Twenty saffron Cod (Eleginus gracilis) and 20 Arctic Cisco (Coregonus...

Microplastics (MPs) contaminate the oceans from the poles to the equators and from the sea surface to the deep sea. In addition, MPs have been recorded in freshwater systems,...

The Cambridge Bay wastewater system is comprised of a wastewater lagoon, formerly a series of natural lakes, which perform primary treatment, and is discharged once a year...

Floating microplastics in Frobisher Bay were assessed using a surface trawl. Four replicate tows of a Manta surface trawl with 200 micron mesh were carried out at each of two...

Floating microplastic particles were measured in surface seawater above the shelf-slope break off SW Greenland. Four replicate tows of a Manta surface trawl with 200 micron...

Macroscopic plastic contamination of beach and intertidal habitats near Iqaluit were surveyed with students from Nunavut Arctic College environmental technology program....
