Modeling the Pathways and Accumulation Patterns of Micro- and Macro-Plastics in the Mediterranean
The Mediterranean is considered a hot-spot for plastic pollution, due to its semi-enclosed nature and heavily populated coastal areas. In the present study, a basin-scale coupled hydrodynamic/particle drift model was used to track the pathways and fate of plastics from major land-based sources (coas...
