Posidonia Spheroids Intercepting Plastic Litter: Implications for Beach Clean-Ups

Sustainability, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 15(22), С. 15740 - 15740

Опубликована: Ноя. 8, 2023

This study represents the first assessment of plastic waste within Posidonia spheroids on four sandy, Mediterranean beaches, each characterized by varying levels anthropogenic influence. Fifty-five (68.7%) spheroids, out eighty examined, included litter. A total 202 items were isolated. Plastic abundance was 2.5 items/spheroid corresponding to 132 per kilogram. The length ranged from 0.1 50 mm. Fibers, tangled fibers and fragments most common shapes. exhibited a substantial capacity for trapping waste, with notable differences among beaches. Our results underscore significance implementing beach clean-up plan aimed at removing all prevent them disintegrating releasing trapped into environment. Manual removal is recommended safeguard this process should target regardless their size. provides valuable insights that can inform marine litter monitoring programs, contribute development tailored management measures, support implementation specific action plans mitigate microplastic pollution.

This study evaluates for the first time plastic litter occurrence in Posidonia spheroids of four Mediterranean sandy beaches at different anthropogenic impact. A total 80 was analyzed and 202 items were found. Spheroids entangled a high number (132 items/kg) with significant differences between beaches. Our results highlight importance to implement beach cleaning plan removal all order prevent them from flaking releasing marine trapped inside again environment. should be manually removed protect banquettes. The involved spheroids, independently their size. adds data implementation monitoring program contributes development specific management measures as well action plans.
