Citations in the corpus

• Marine litter within the European Marine Strategy Framework Directive (2013, background): “Levels of economic “harm” may run into millions of euro annually even at subregional scales (Mouat et al., 2010).”
• Monitoring plastic ingestion by the northern fulmar Fulmarus glacialis in the North Sea. (2011, background): “Even on a local scale, such as the Shetland Islands in Scotland, the economic damage can exceed a million Euro’s annually (Hall, 2000; Lozano and Mouat, 2009; Mouat et al., 2010).”
• Elevated levels of ingested plastic in a high Arctic seabird, the northern fulmar (Fulmarus glacialis) (2015, background): “The deleterious impacts of plastic litter are numerous, including transport of pollutants (Zarfl and Matthies 2010) and invasive species (Barnes 2002), entanglement with and ingestion by marine fauna (Laist 1997), as well as economic costs (Mouat et al. 2010; Leggett et al. 2014).”
• Global ecological, social and economic impacts of marine plastic. (2019, background): “Marine plastic has the potential to reduce the efficiency and productivity of commercial fisheries and aquaculture through physical entanglement and damage (Mouat et al., 2010), but also by posing a direct risk to fish stocks.”
• Microplastics in the aquatic and terrestrial environment: sources (with a specific focus on personal care products), fate and effects (2016, background): “Since it is not specified how the amount of 20,000 t was estimated (see also [107]), the abovementioned information on the relative contribution of micro-plastics to the overall amount of plastic debris in the North Sea should be considered as a very rough estimate.”
• Impacts of Plastic Pollution on Ecosystem Services, Sustainable Development Goals, and Need to Focus on Circular Economy and Policy Interventions (2021, background): “Marine biota-ingested plastics reduce the efficiency and productivity of commercial fisheries and aquaculture through physical entanglement and damage [173], and they are a direct risk to fish stocks, which has direct and indirect effects on the entire food chain [25,174,175].”
