Can't wait for this on August 5 - @UNESCAP @PEMSEA workshop with live demos on detecting plastic pollution from land and space with our satellite expert Lauren. No-on can break it down like her. Spots are limited as it's interactive! Register here: forms.gle/JH11R1J3FLknpuBQA

🚨 New paper alert! Read all about how invasive water plants are aggregating river plastics, which is key for understanding debris transport, clean-up strategies, and future monitoring programs. Made possible thanks to a combination of visual observations + drone RS imagery 🛰️🚯

Reading a recent paper from @nature, I came across this extraordinary statistic: "The global mass of produced plastic is greater than the overall mass of all terrestrial and marine animals combined." rdcu.be/cfYLk

Did you know that #marinelitter not only aggregates in patches in the ocean? Check our latest paper on #marinelitterwindrows, aggregations at submesoscale domain! frontiersin.org/article/10.3…

I would advise this particular webinar to anyone who wants to know more about #OceanPlastics pollution in general and how this amazing scientist (and her team) use satellites to track it ! #MarineLitter #EO #ESA @LaurenBiermann 🛰️🧃🌊
Replying to @PlymouthMarine
There is also a seminar with @LaurenBiermann available from @OceanPlasticWeb about detecting #OceanPlastics from space youtu.be/FVvr4CKj8M8

Here's our latest paper on economic assessmet of #marinelitter solutions at @PolicyMarine. Despite prevention is of utmost importance cleaning at sea is also a solution provided it's done ensuring low impact on biota. sciencedirect.com/science/ar… active vs passive #fishingforlitter
