Summary

This IAHR-affiliated study conducted a fundamental investigation of using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for monitoring microplastic deposition in Sanbanze tidal flat in Japan, exploring the feasibility of drone-based remote sensing for mapping plastic accumulation in coastal environments. Drone-based monitoring offers a scalable approach to tracking microplastic hotspots in tidal and shallow coastal habitats.
