Processes controlling the dispersion and beaching of floating marine debris in the Barcelona coastal region

IntroductionCoastal areas are considered potential sinks for plastic in marine environments. Data from a Lagrangian numerical simulation at a coastal scale using high-resolution hydrodynamic information and observational data of river debris discharge were analysed to determine the environmental var...
