Assessing and mitigating the harmful effects of plastic pollution: the collective multi-stakeholder driven Euro-Mediterranean response
Maria Cristina Fossi,Thomais Vlachogianni,François Galgani,Francesco Degli Innocenti,Giorgio Zampetti,Gaetano Leone +5 more
TL;DR: The Mediterranean Sea is one of the areas in the world most affected by marine litter, and the harmful effects of plastic litter on Mediterranean biodiversity and a three-fold assessment approach to detect impacts with the use of bioindicator species was discussed at the SETAC Europe 28th Annual Meeting.

The streaming of plastic in the Mediterranean Sea
TL;DR: In this article , a different paradigm is proposed: looking for crossroad regions through which large amounts of plastic debris flow, and the most important crossroads intercepted plastic debris from multiple sources, which had often traveled long distances.
