Plastics in the Marine Environment
TL;DR: A framework to evaluate the current understanding of the sources, distribution, fate, and impacts of marine plastics is presented and the evidence-albeit limited-of demonstrated impacts to marine wildlife support immediate implementation of source-reducing measures to decrease the potential risks of plastics in the marine ecosystem.

TL;DR: In this paper, a growing concern related to threats posed to marine wildlife from microplastics and frag- ment debris, the need for data at scales relevant to management, and the urgent need to develop interdisciplinary research and management partnerships to limit the release of plastics into the environment and curb the future impacts of plastic pollution is highlighted.

The Economics of Marine Litter
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an overview of research into quantifying the economic impacts of marine litter from an environmental economics perspective and review those sectors where these costs are notable; and consider policy instruments, such as taxes and charges addressing the drivers of waste, for instance those being developed for plastic bags, which could be used to reduce the production of waste and minimize its impacts.

TL;DR: An interdisciplinary, triangulation analysis of four divergent conceptual frameworks relevant to diagnosing food insecurity in developing countries found notable tensions as well as synergistic interactions between agroecology, agricultural innovation systems, social–ecological systems, and political ecology.

Modelling the fate of marine debris along a complex shoreline: Lessons from the Great Barrier Reef

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used oceanographic modeling to identify potential sites of debris accumulation along a rugged coastline with headlands, islands, rocky coasts and beaches, and found that the classical techniques of modelling the transport of floating debris models are only moderately successful due to a number of unknowns or assumptions, such as the value of wind drift coefficient, the variability of the oceanic forcing and of the wind, the resuspension of some floating debris by waves, and the poorly known relative contribution of floating items from urban rivers and commercial and recreational shipping.

Toward a Theory of Stakeholder Identification and Salience: Defining the Principle of who and What Really Counts
TL;DR: In this paper, a theory of stakeholder identification and saliency based on stakeholders possessing one or more of three relationship attributes (power, legitimacy, and urgency) is proposed, and a typology of stakeholders, propositions concerning their saliency to managers of the firm, and research and management implications.
