Plastic Pollution in the World's Oceans: More than 5 Trillion Plastic Pieces Weighing over 250,000 Tons Afloat at Sea
Marcus Eriksen,Laurent Lebreton,Henry S. Carson,Martin Thiel,Charles J. Moore,Jose C. Borerro,François Galgani,Peter G. Ryan,Julia Reisser +8 more
TL;DR: The total number of plastic particles and their weight floating in the world's oceans is estimated from 24 expeditions across all five sub-tropical gyres, costal Australia, Bay of Bengal and the Mediterranean Sea conducting surface net tows and visual survey transects of large plastic debris.
Journal ArticleDOI
River plastic emissions to the world's oceans.
Laurent Lebreton,Joost Van Der Zwet,Jan Willem Damsteeg,Boyan Slat,Anthony L. Andrady,Julia Reisser +5 more
TL;DR: A global model of plastic inputs from rivers into oceans based on waste management, population density and hydrological information is presented to provide baseline data for ocean plastic mass balance exercises, and assist in prioritizing future plastic debris monitoring and mitigation strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence that the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is rapidly accumulating plastic
Laurent Lebreton,Boyan Slat,Francesco F. Ferrari,Bruno Sainte-Rose,Jen Aitken,Robert Marthouse,Sara Hajbane,Serena Cunsolo,Anna Schwarz,Aurore Levivier,K. Noble,Pavla Debeljak,H. Maral,R. Schoeneich-Argent,Roberto Brambini,Julia Reisser +15 more
TL;DR: A major ocean plastic accumulation zone formed in subtropical waters between California and Hawaii: The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is characterised and quantified, suggesting that ocean plastic pollution within the GPGP is increasing exponentially and at a faster rate than in surrounding waters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Millimeter-Sized Marine Plastics: A New Pelagic Habitat for Microorganisms and Invertebrates
Julia Reisser,Jeremy Shaw,Gustaaf M. Hallegraeff,Maíra Carneiro Proietti,David K. A. Barnes,Michele Thums,Chris Wilcox,Britta Denise Hardesty,Charitha Pattiaratchi +8 more
TL;DR: It is highlighted how anthropogenic millimeter-sized polymers have created a new pelagic habitat for microorganisms and invertebrates in Australia-wide coastal and oceanic, tropical to temperate sample collections.
Journal ArticleDOI
Marine plastic pollution in waters around Australia: Characteristics, concentrations, and pathways
Julia Reisser,Julia Reisser,Jeremy Shaw,Chris Wilcox,Britta Denise Hardesty,Maíra Carneiro Proietti,Michele Thums,Michele Thums,Charitha Pattiaratchi +8 more
TL;DR: This study shows that plastic contamination levels in surface waters of Australia are similar to those in the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Maine, but considerably lower than those found in the subtropical gyres and Mediterranean Sea.
