Decoding Factors to Fishing for Litter: A Game-Changer for Engaging Fishers in Marine Conservation Initiatives

Sustainability, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 17(1), P. 316 - 316

Published: Jan. 3, 2025

The ubiquitous presence of marine litter has brought huge environmental pressure. A wide range measures have been developed to address this problem. This paper focuses on the removal measure—Fishing for Litter (FEL). It aims identify potential factors affecting fishers’ participation in FFL program. two-step approach, including interviews and questionnaire surveys, was employed. total 10 fishers participated interviews, 8 were initially identified using thematic analysis utilized design. 412 valid samples collected. Descriptive statistics binary logit regression used data analysis. results showed that rewards, other friends, inconveniences or troubles incurred from handling trash feature most decision-making participation. Furthermore, views toward environments also had a behavioral impact their Potential management proposed, reducing board as well at ports, providing encouraging education fishers, distributing information regarding is hoped will eventually make it normal onboard practice collect found sea develop sense stewardship.

Unraveling the Plastic Pollution in the Aquatic Environment of the Croatian Krk Island

Water, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 17(6), P. 785 - 785

Published: March 8, 2025

The assessment of plastic pollution due to microplastics (MPs) and nanoparticles (NPs) was performed for the first time on water samples from four natural sites located near beaches Krk Island, Croatia, namely Melska, Črnika, rt Šilo, Zala. MP NP occurrence investigated collected during December 2022 June 2023, using bulk method followed by filtration stainless-steel sieves digestion process. Factor analysis Spearman’s correlation revealed that percentage fragments correlated well with salinity (ρ = 0.76, p < 0.05) filaments brown MPs 0.80, 0.05). monitoring throughout sampling periods generally showed a decrease in abundance as size increased. presence indicated potential contributions wastewater outlets, particularly household washing machines, either directly residents or tourists abandoned fishing nets. increased concentration NPs over could signify continuous fragmentation degradation biofilm formation their surface. These findings potentially be explained implemented waste measures along coast which 30 October 2024 officially declared zero-waste island.
