Benthic Marine Litter in Three Greek Gulfs: Are Mean Density Estimates Truly Representative?

(Corresponding) Kouvara K., Xirotagarou P., Christodoulou D., Dimas X., Ioakeimidis C., Geraga M., Papatheodorou G.

Topic:

3. PLASTICS IN THE ENVIRONMENT

In this study, seafloor litter loads were compared across three major gulfs in Greece—Saronikos, Thermaikos, and Patras Gulf—by analyzing and synthesizing existing datasets from published research. Particular emphasis is placed on evaluating depth related spatial patterns, methodological...Read more

Microplastics in the Estuarine Area of the Pineios River: Seasonal Trends and Variability

Apostolidou S., Galinou - Mitsoudi S., Savvidis Υ., (Corresponding) Papadimitriou C.

Topic:

3. PLASTICS IN THE ENVIRONMENT

This study examines the concentration and distribution of microplastics in the estuary area of the Pineios River. The results show a clear seasonal pattern, with much higher microplastic levels during the summer. The difference in the shape distribution between sediment and water samples shows that...Read more

Microplastics in sandy beaches of Thermaikos Gulf: quantification and spatial distribution

Apostolidou S., Galinou-Mitsoudi S., (Corresponding) Papadimitriou C.

Topic:

3. PLASTICS IN THE ENVIRONMENT

This study looks into microplastic pollution along the coast of the Thermaic Gulf. Samples were collected from eight locations and analyzed for their amount, size, shape, and where they were found. The highest levels appeared in tourist-heavy areas, while fibers were more common in places with...Read more
