Tracking Mediterranean marine litter through observation-grounded Lagrangian models

The Mediterranean's Southern Tyrrhenian and Northern Ligurian seas exhibited near-persistent floating marine macro-litter occurrence in 2024, with coastal deposition frequencies highest on Corsica, western Sardinia, and northern Tunisia. This data-driven Lagrangian framework, anchored by systematic shipboard surveys, gives decision-makers an observation-grounded tool for MSFD Descriptor 10 monitoring.
