A Model of Marine Litter in Sustainable Fisheries

(Corresponding) Nguyen L.

Topic:

Microplastics in the marine environment

This paper studies the dynamics of an economy specialized in fisheries facing a rising marine litter problem. We present a dynamic optimization model to explain the mechanism through which marine litter causes inefficiencies in the fishery sector. We study the dynamic properties of the model when...Read more

Investigating the Potential of UV-excited Photoluminescence Spectroscopy for the Identification of Plastics

Gies S., Schömann E., Radiev Y., Prume J., (Corresponding) Koch M.

Topic:

Microplastics in the marine environment

In this study, we investigate photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy with UV excitation as an alternative method for the detection and identification of plastic materials. The PL is excited at 266 nm. Spectra of the most widely used plastic materials are analyzed. Based on these results, it should be...Read more

Tackling single-use plastic items in the Mediterranean

(Corresponding) Xirou H., Sherrington C., Bapasola A.

Topic:

Microplastics in the marine environment

Overall, plastics are estimated to account for around 95% of the waste in the open sea, on the seabed and on beaches across the Mediterranean. In the Mediterranean, it is estimated an annual plastic leakage of 229,000 tonnes, made up of 94% macroplastics and 6% microplastics [1]. The scope of this...Read more
