Assessment of Marine Litter Based on Tide along Juhu Beach
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers quantified marine litter on Juhu Beach in Mumbai, India, finding significantly higher amounts collected during ebb tide than flood tide. The study establishes baseline data on tidal litter dynamics at an urban Indian beach and provides a basis for designing more effective litter management strategies.
In above perspective, present study aimed to quantify the different types of litter and Juhu beach, Mumbai. Marine litter especially plastic waste collected and assessed during the months of February 2018. Quantification was done on weight basis, total quantity and the quantities of segregated plastic were recorded by weighing the material. The results showed that a significant higher number and weight of marine litter was collected during ebb tide period in comparison to flood tide. The study will provide to control future marine litter pollution in marine environment.

Researchers modeled and mapped debris stranding patterns on a Brazilian beach across different tidal and seasonal conditions, finding that buoyancy and tidal cycle were the dominant factors controlling where litter deposited. The model could help optimize beach litter removal programs by predicting accumulation zones ahead of cleanup operations.

Researchers investigated how tidal fluctuation affects the vertical distribution and river-sea transport of microplastics in a subtropical estuary in China, finding that tidal dynamics significantly influence microplastic size, concentration, and movement between river and marine environments.
Spatial and temporal distribution of microplastics in the Belawan Estuary, Indonesia
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers tracked microplastic levels across different tidal cycles and lunar phases in an Indonesian estuary, finding that concentrations peaked near the coastline during high tide and full moon periods. The study shows that tidal currents and seasonal water flow patterns strongly control where microplastics accumulate, which is important for designing cleanup strategies.
