TL;DR: An inverse problem solution, used to quantify the origins of plastics, shows that plastic pollution of every Mediterranean country is caused primarily by its own terrestrial sources.

TL;DR: This model results show that the coastline of the Po Delta receives a plastic flux of approximately 70 kg(km day)(-1) and the most polluted sea surface area is represented by an elongated band shifted to the Italian coastline and narrowed from northwest to southeast.

TL;DR: In this article, a multi-model oil spill prediction service called MEDESS-4MS (Mediterranean Decision Support System for Marine Safety) is proposed to assist the response agencies.

TL;DR: The Southern Adriatic Northern Ionian coastal Forecasting system (SANIFS) as mentioned in this paper is a coastal-ocean operational system based on the unstructured grid finite-element three-dimensional hydrodynamic SHYFEM model, providing short-term forecasts.

TL;DR: The Mediterranean community represented in this paper is the result of more than 30 years of EU and nationally funded coordination, which has led to key contributions in science concepts and operational initiatives.
