A Field Guide for Monitoring Riverine Macroplastic Entrapment in Water Hyacinths
River plastic pollution is an environmental challenge of growing concern. However, there are still many unknowns related to the principal drivers of river plastic transport. Floating aquatic vegetation, such as water hyacinths, have been found to aggregate and carry large amounts of plastic debris i...
