Numerical analysis of transport and accumulation of floating marine litter in the Black Sea.
Year: 2023

Floating marine litter (FML) is a global problem because of the risk it poses to marine life and human health. In a semi-enclosed basin such as the Black Sea, the slow replenishment of water and the strong input from European rivers potentially favoured the increasing accumulation of FML. In this sense, it is absolutely necessary to generate strategies in the Black Sea to mitigate the impacts on the marine ecosystem and human populations. This is one focus of the DOORS European Union Project (De
