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 ...
Measuring Marine Plastic Debris from Space: Initial Assessment of Observation Requirements.
(2019)
Sustained observations are required to determine the marine plastic debris mass balance and to support effective policy for planning remedial action. However, observations currently remain scarce at the global scale. A ...
Monitoring the abundance of plastic debris in the marine environment.
(2009)
Plastic debris has significant environmental and economic impacts in marine systems. Monitoring is
crucial to assess the efficacy of measures implemented to reduce the abundance of plastic debris, but it
is complicated ...

Best practice in Ecopath with Ecosim food-web models for ecosystem-based management. [In: Special Edition: Ecopath 30 years - Modelling ecosystem dynamics: beyond boundaries with EwE]
(2016)
Ecopath with Ecosim (EwE) models are easier to construct and use compared to most other ecosystem
modelling techniques and are therefore more widely used by more scientists and managers. This, how-
ever, creates a problem ...
Best practices for assessing ocean health in multiple contexts using tailorable frameworks.
(2015)
Marine policy is increasingly calling for maintaining or restoring healthy oceans while human activities continue to intensify. Thus, successful prioritization and management of competing objectives requires a comprehensive ...
