This session will explore the physical processes governing ocean gyres and their role in the distribution of marine debris. Emphasis will be placed on the interactions between ocean circulation patterns and the accumulation of plastic pollution.

This track focuses on the sources, distribution, and ecological impacts of microplastics in marine environments. Researchers will present findings on the ingestion of microplastics by marine organisms and the subsequent effects on food webs.

This session aims to address the toxicological effects of marine debris on aquatic life. Presentations will cover the mechanisms of toxicity, bioaccumulation, and the implications for marine health.

This track will investigate the transport mechanisms of various pollutants within ocean currents. Studies will highlight the role of hydrodynamics in shaping the fate and distribution of contaminants.

This session will delve into the chemical processes involved in the degradation and transformation of pollutants in marine environments. Researchers will discuss the implications of these processes for marine ecosystem health.

This track will examine the pathways through which contaminants are transferred across trophic levels in marine food webs. Presentations will focus on the implications for species at risk and the overall health of marine ecosystems.
