A multidisciplinary map of marine plastic pollution

Edited by Giuseppe Bonanno, this volume places plastic waste in marine environments within a broad ecological, biological, social, economic, and political framework. It traces the development of plastics as an ocean-ecosystem issue while bringing together current knowledge, identified research gaps, and recent findings. Coverage extends from measuring inputs and identifying pollution sources to examining plastics’ eventual fate and their ecological consequences. With contributions grounded in marine pollution, marine biology, and environmental-resource management, the book presents marine conservation as a problem that connects scientific evidence with governance and practical decision-making.
