Description
The document "Forecasting marine litter pollution in Mediterranean MPAs" describes The development and implementation of a numerical model within the Plastic Busters MPAs project for modelling the movement and transport of marine litter. This is created for the identification of marine litter hotspots at a Mediterranean basin scale and in more detail at the level of the project's four partner MPAs: Cabrera Archipelago National Park, Specially Protected Area of Mediterranean Importance (SPAMI) of the Pelagos Sanctuary, Tuscan Archipelago National Park and National Marine Park of Zakynthos.
