Plastic Waste: Challenges and Opportunities to Mitigate Pollution and Effective Management (2023, background): “Current international policy for macro and microplastic contamination is a well-designed framework to minimize micro–macro plastic contamination from waterfront, beaches, oceans and marine environment (Sheavly and Register 2007).”
(Nano)plastics in the environment - Sources, fates and effects. (2016, background): “Most of these particles endup in our oceans (Lebreton et al., 2012; Sheavly and Register, 2007) and their distribution has been modeled (Enders et al., 2015; Maximenko et al., 2012), with some experimental data supporting these mathematical simulations (Carson et al., 2013; Eriksen et al., 2013b;…”
A Review of Plastic-Associated Pressures: Cetaceans of the Mediterranean Sea and Eastern Australian Shearwaters as Case Studies (2018, background): “For marine mammals, impacts can be divided into those arising from entanglement, which can result in injury, drowning or strangulation, and those from ingestion, with pathology ranging from no discernible impact through to blockage of the digestive tract, suffocation and starvation (Sheavly and Regi”
High-levels of microplastic pollution in a large, remote, mountain lake. (2014, background): “, 2014), pose a risk to various marine industries (Sheavly and Register, 2007), threaten marine life through entanglement and ingestion, transport invasive species, and smother the seabed (Gregory, 2009).”
