Marine litter is a prime threat to marine wildlife, habitats and food webs worldwide. The book illustrates how advanced technologies from deep-sea research, microbiology and mathematic modelling as well as classic beach litter counts by volunteers contributed to the broad awareness of marine litter as a problem of global significance. The authors summarise more than five decades of marine litter research, which receives growing attention after the recent discovery of great oceanic garbage patches and the ubiquity of microscopic plastic particles in marine organisms and habitats. In 16 chapters, authors from all over the world have created a universal view on the diverse field of marine litter pollution, the biological  impacts, dedicated research activities,  and the various national and international legislative efforts to combat this environmental problem.  They recommend future research directions necessary for a comprehensive understanding of this environmental issue and the development of efficient management strategies. This book addresses scientists, and it provides a solid knowledge base for policy makers, NGOs, and  the broader public. 606 $aAquatic ecology  606 $aFreshwater & Marine Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19066 610 $aFreshwater & Marine Ecology 615 0$aAquatic ecology . 615 14$aFreshwater & Marine Ecology. 676 $a577.6 676 $a577.7 700 $aBergmann$b Melanie$4edt$01354828 702 $aBergmann$b Melanie$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aGutow$b Lars$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aKlages$b Michael$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bUkMaJRU 912 $a996199975103316 996 $aMarine Anthropogenic Litter$93358400 997 $aUNISA
