Results from the first large-scale survey of floating natural (NMD) and anthropogenic (AMD) debris (>2cm) in the central and western part of the Mediterranean Sea are reported. Floating debris was found throughout the entire study area with densities ranging from 0 to 194.6items/km2 and mean abundances of 24.9 AMD items/km2 and 6.9 NMD items/km2 across all surveyed locations. On the whole, 78% of all sighted objects were of anthropogenic origin, 95.6% of which were petrochemical derivatives (i.e. plastic and styrofoam). Maximum AMD densities (>52items/km2) were found in the Adriatic Sea and in the Algerian basin, while the lowest densities ( |

All the other areas had mean densities ranging from 10.9 to 30.7items/km2. According to our calculations, more than 62 million macro-litter items are currently floating on the surface of the whole Mediterranean basin.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0025-326X</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1879-3363</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1016/j.marpolbul.2014.06.025</identifier><identifier>PMID: 25127501</identifier><identifier>CODEN: MPNBAZ</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Kidlington: Elsevier Ltd</publisher><subject>Animal and plant ecology ; Animal, plant and microbial ecology ; Applied ecology ; Biological and medical sciences ; Ecotoxicology, biological effects of pollution ; Environment ; Environmental Monitoring ; European Union ; Floating debris ; Fundamental and applied biological sciences.
