Guidelines for the monitoring and assessment of plastic litter and microplastics in the ocean.
(GESAMP Joint Group of Experts on the Scientific Aspects of Marine Environmental Protection, London, UK, 2019)The Joint Group of Experts on the Scientific Aspects of Marine Environmental Protection (GESAMP) has been involved in the issue of marine plastic litter and microplastics for over a decade. Initially interest was ... -
Handbook of Survey Methodology Plastics Leakage (developed for CSIRO Global Plastic Pollution Baseline Project). Version 1.4.
(CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere, Canberra, Australia, 2020)We are using field sampling to measure, and mathematical modelling to estimate, the distribution and movement of plastic waste near urban centres, along waterways, on the coastline and in the ocean. We are designing robust ... -
Marine Debris Survey Information Guide.
(Adelaide and Mount Lofty Ranges Natural Resources Management Board, Eastwood, S Australia, 2009)Marine debris surveys are part of the Gulf St. Vincent Marine Threat Abatement project, initiated by the Adelaide and Mount Lofty Ranges Natural Resources Management Board (AMLRNRMB) and supported through the Australian ... -
NOAA Marine Debris Shoreline Survey Field Guide.
(NOAA Marine Debris Program, Silver Spring, MD, 2012)Marine debris has become one of the most widespread pollution problems in the world’s oceans and waterways today. The NOAA Marine Debris Program (MDP) serves as a centralized marine debris resource within NOAA, coordinating ... -
The quest for seafloor macrolitter: a critical review of background knowledge, current methods and future prospects.
(2021)The seafloor covers some 70% of the Earth’s surface and has been recognised as a major sink for marine litter. Still, litter on the seafloor is the least investigated fraction of marine litter, which is not surprising ... -
Redes Colaborativas para o Monitoramento - Microplástico - Guia de práticas para o monitoramento de microplástico em praias arenosas.
(Our Blue Hands, Brazil, 2021)This monitoring protocol for microplastics on sand beaches is carried out by Our Blue Hands project. It was adapted from the microplastics monitoring methodology of the European Union produced in 2013, from the University ... -
Sample Preparation Manual for the Analysis of Plastic-related Pollutants.
(African Marine Waste Network, Sustainable Seas Trust, Gqeberha, South Africa, 2022)The occurrence of plastics in the natural environment has been reported from the most remote places on earth. As such, there is growing global concern about the potential human health impacts caused by plastic pollution ... -
Sampling and Analysis Plan for Microplastic Monitoring in San Francisco Bay and Adjacent National Marine Sanctuaries: FINAL.
(San Francisco Estuary Institute and Aquatic Science Center, Richmond, CA, 2017)Plastic in the ocean, and more specifically microplastic (particles <5 mm), has been gaining global attention as a pervasive and preventable threat to the health of marine ecosystems. Microplastic is ingested by marine ... -
A standard protocol for monitoring marine debris using seabird stomach contents: the Fulmar EcoQO approach from the North Sea.
(NOAA Marine Debris Division, 2011)The ultimate fate and environmental impact of marine plastic debris is a major policy concern that requires reliable assessments of regional pollution levels and rates of change: such information is critical for efficient ... -
The use of potassium hydroxide (KOH) solution as a suitable approach to isolate plastics ingested by marine organisms.
(2017)In studies of plastic ingestion by marine wildlife, visual separation of plastic particles from gastrointestinal tracts or their dietary content can be challenging. Earlier studies have used solutions to dissolve organic ...
