A sea of rubbish: ocean floor landfills

Credit: JAMSTEC [De S. Chiba] The Messina Strait, a submarine bridge separating the island of Sicily from the Italian Peninsula, is the area with the largest marine litter density worldwide -more than a million objects per square kilometre in some parts-, as reported in a new review paper published in the journal Environmental Research Letters. Also, over the next thirty years, the volume of rubbish in the sea could surpass three billion metric tons (Mt), as cited in the study, whose corresponding authors are the experts Miquel Canals, from the Faculty of Earth Sciences of the University of Barcelona, and Georg Hanke from the European Commission s Joint Research Centre (JRC), where scientists carry out research in order to provide independent scientific advice and support to EU policies.

Marine Seagrass Can Catch and Remove Plastics from the Sea

University of Barcelona Posidonia oceanica seagrass an endemic marine phanerogam with an important ecological role in the marine environment can take and remove plastic materials that have been left at the sea, according to a study published in the journal Scientific Reports. The article s first author is the tenure-track 2 lecturer Anna Sànchez-Vidal, from the Research Group on Marine Geosciences of the Faculty of Earth Sciences of the University of Barcelona (UB). The study describes for the first time the outstanding role of the Posidonia as a filter and trap for plastics in the coastal areas, and it is a pioneer in the description of a natural mechanism to take and remove these materials from the sea. Other authors of the study are the experts Miquel Canals, William P. de Haan, and Marta Veny, from the Research Group on Marine Geosciences at UB, and Javier Romero, from the Faculty of Biology and the Biodiversity Research Institute (IRBio) at UB.

Seagrass Helps to Eliminate Plastics from Coastal Areas

Seagrass Helps to Eliminate Plastics from Coastal Areas A new study has reported that Posidonia oceanica seagrass a kind of endemic marine phanerogam that plays a crucial ecological role in the marine environment can trap and eliminate plastic materials abandoned at the sea. This natural mechanism could trap about 867 million plastic per year in coastal areas. Image Credit: Jordi Regàs. The first author of the study, which was published in the Scientific Reports journal, is the tenure-track 2 lecturer Anna Sànchez-Vidal, who is part of the Research Group on Marine Geosciences of the Faculty of Earth Sciences of the University of Barcelona (UB).
