LITTERBASE - Online-portal for marine debris and its effects on marine life
AI summary Read the abstract
LITTERBASE is an online database and visualization tool that aggregates global scientific data on marine litter and microplastics to enable meta-analyses of their distribution across the world's oceans. The platform allows researchers to address questions about where plastic accumulates and quantify its presence in different ocean environments.
LITTERBASE enables global meta-analysesThe database allows us to conduct scientific meta-analyses for global assessments of the distribution of marine litter and microplastic in the ocean and to address currently burning questions: "Where is all the Plastic?" 2 Well-founded global estimates of plastic debris entering the ocean are currently 10-1000 times higher than results from meta-analyses of empirical studies.This suggests the presence of neglected sinks (e.g.deep sea, sea ice, biota). What are the global distribution patterns of marine debris in the oceans? What is the composition of marine debris in the ocean? How many species are affected and which organisms are particularly vulnerable to the effects of marine debris?LITTERBASE wants support: Input of authors of new studies (e.g.pdfs), so LITTERBASE remains as complete and up to date as possible Photos of marine litter or encounters with marine life from citizens to increase our knowledge and engage stakeholders Hier stehen die Namen aller Beteiligten / List here the names of all involved persons
