Summary

The Aegean Archipelago shows widespread contamination with macro-litter, mesoplastics, and microplastics from marine currents, coastal tourism, and fishing activities. This review identifies critical knowledge gaps and sets research priorities for monitoring and mitigating plastic pollution in this ecologically sensitive Mediterranean region.

The present review provides a thorough analysis of the published scientific results on the distribution, sources and impacts of macro-litter/macro-plastics (>2.5 cm), meso (0.5 cm < < 2.5 cm) and microplastics (MPs)...
