Transport and accumulation of floating marine litter in the Black Sea: insights from numerical modeling

IntroductionFloating marine litter (FML) is a global problem with significant risks to marine life and human health. In semi-enclosed basins like the Black Sea, slow water replenishment and strong input from European rivers create conditions that can lead to the accumulation of FML. This study aims...
