Abstract

Nowadays one of the growing global problems is the pollution of the marine environment by human-made plastic litter. Coastal surroundings are likely to gather much of the solid waste released by contemporary factory and city community to the oceans. Waste generation increases proportionally with the rapid growth of the world‘s industrial production and population. The abundance, composition and potential sources of marine debris were examined and it was demonstrated that the plastic debris is prevalent as a world-wide marine pollutant. The debris characteristics suggested that its primary sources are land-based ones. To determine their sources, methods used the surface current from the analytic model of near-surface ocean currents, facilitated by air stream information and satellite sea level. Owing to inadequate waste management, anthropogenic waste can even pose a threat to the most remote environment. Origin or traceability of trash characterizes prized statistics that can be used to examine and in the end, update our ocean circulation understanding. Consideration of methodologies are needed to realize the pellets dispersal in the beach environment, with special attention on input patterns. In the marine environment, plastic debris floating is faster gone from the surface of ocean to other as-yet undetermined sinks.
