Description
This report is related to modelling studies on the litter movements that consisted of some rivers discharging at the Black Sea and also coastal areas of the Black Sea. The report uses oceanographic techniques to identify sources and destinations of litter as well as how these are related. A model for studying marine litter accumulation was thus developed.
