The physical oceanography of the transport of floating marine debris (2020, background): “Laboratory experiments show that incorporation into artificial marine aggregates strongly enhances the sinking velocity of plastic, reaching sinking velocities of several hundredmetres per day (Long et al 2015, Michels et al 2018, Porter et al 2018).”
