Guidance to Manage the Risk to Marine Mammals from Man-made Sound Sources in Irish Waters.
(Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, Dublin, Ireland, 2014)
There has been increasing concern internationally about the potentially harmful effect of man-made
sound on the marine environment and species therein that could be sensitive to it. Sound that is derived
from human ...
Marine Monitoring of Australia's Indigenous Sea Country using Remote Technologies.
(2019)
Joint development of marine monitoring SOPs by AIMS and Indigenous Marine Ranger groups is intentionally focused on new
technological advances to provide enhanced and rapid resolution of ecological patterns. These monitoring ...
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 ...
Marine litter within the European Marine Strategy Framework Directive.
(2013)
There have been numerous anthropogenic-driven changes to our planet in the last half-century. One of the most evident changes is the
ubiquity and abundance of litter in the marine environment. The EU Marine Strategy ...
A rapid method for assessing the accumulation of microplastics in the sea surface microlayer (SML) of estuarine systems.
(2018)
Microplastics are an increasingly important contaminant in the marine environment. Depending on
their composition and degree of biofouling, many common microplastics are less dense than seawater
and so tend to float at ...
Microplastics in a Marine Environment: Review of Methods for Sampling, Processing, and Analyzing Microplastics in Water, Bottom Sediments, and Coastal Deposits.
(2018)
The basic approaches, methods, and procedures for collecting and analyzing samples of microplastics
in a marine environment are briefly described.
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 ...
Marine litter: how to monitor, reduce and prevent ocean debris. Focus on plastics and microplastics.
(Vrie Universiteit, Amsterdam, Netherlands, 2018)
We live in the age of plastics. They are ubiquitous in our daily life and in many industrial applications. They play a major role in our economy. Their production continuously increases. However, plastics are not well ...
Guideline to marine litter monitoring.
(Western Indian Ocean Marine Science Association, Zanzibar, 2018)
The following guide was produced by the Sustainable Seas Trust through its African Marine Waste Network project as part of a consultancy with the Western Indian Ocean Marine Science Association. It includes capacity ...
Modeling the Role of Microplastics in Bioaccumulation of Organic Chemicals to Marine Aquatic Organisms. A Critical Review.
(Springer Open, Heidelberg, Germany, 2015)
It has been shown that ingestion of microplastics may increase bioaccumulation of organic chemicals by aquatic organisms. This paper critically reviews the literature on the effects of plastic ingestion on the bioaccumulation ...
