A Methodology to Characterize Riverine Macroplastic Emission Into the Ocean

A Methodology to Characterize Riverine Macroplastic Emission Into the Ocean

Land-based macroplastic is considered one of the major sources of marine plastic debris. However, estimations of plastic emission from rivers into the oceans remain scarce and uncertain, mainly due to a severe lack of standardized observations. To properly assess global plastic fluxes, detailed info...
