Shallow Seafloor Litter: Tracking their Sources and Spatiotemporal Trends in the Presence of Oceanographic Drivers through efficient monitoring

(Corresponding) Fakiris E., Papatheodorou G., Kordella S., Christodoulou D., Galgani F., Geraga M.

Topic:

Marine Litter - Accumulated experience and new perspectives

Seafloor litter is the least exploited component of marine litter. The spatially variable distribution of their densities over time is a cumulative effect of sources’ intensities and natural drivers like wind/wave and current conditions in interaction with seafloor morphology. Making safe...Read more
