Land-based macroplastic is considered one of the major sources marine plastic debris. However, estimations emission from rivers into oceans remain scarce and uncertain, mainly due to a severe lack standardized observations. To properly assess global fluxes, detailed information on spatiotemporal variation in river quantities composition are urgently needed. In this paper, we present new methodology characterize riverine dynamics. The proposed was applied estimate Saigon River, Vietnam....
Abstract Marine plastic pollution is an increasing environmental threat. Although it assumed that most marine plastics are transported from land to the ocean through rivers, only limited data on riverine transport exists. Recently, new methods have been introduced characterize consistently time and space. For example, combining visual counting observations debris sampling can provide order of magnitude estimations a river. In this paper, we present findings multi-season measurement campaign...
In aquatic environments, assessment of microplastic concentrations is increasing worldwide but environments from developing countries remain under-evaluated. Due to disparities facilities, financial resources and human between countries, protocols sampling, analysis observations used in developed cannot be fully adapted ones, required specific adaptations. Viet Nam, an methodology was commonly adopted by local researchers implement a monitoring sediments surface waters 21 (rivers, lakes,...
Recent studies suggest that water hyacinths can influence the transport of macroplastics in freshwater ecosystems at tropical latitudes. Forming large patches several meters surface, entrain and aggregate amounts floating debris, including plastic items. Research on this topic is still novel few have quantified role transport. In study, we present findings a six-week monitoring campaign, combining use visual observations Unmanned Aerial Vehicle imagery Saigon river, Vietnam. For first time,...
River plastic pollution is an environmental challenge of growing concern. However, there are still many unknowns related to the principal drivers river transport. Floating aquatic vegetation, such as water hyacinths, have been found aggregate and carry large amounts debris in tropical systems. Monitoring entrapment plastics hyacinths therefore crucial answer relevant scientific societal questions. Long-term monitoring efforts yet be designed implemented at scale various field measuring...

<p>Excess of plastic debris in the environment is a worldwide problem. The origin sources partly land-based, function rivers as transportation pathways for plastics an emerging research field. However, dynamics macroplastic river systems are still poorly understood(Blettler <em>et al.</em>, 2018; Schmidt 2017). By studying interaction riverine transport and water plants, can be better understood, which might help with mitigation environmental...
