Comparisons of six selected Mediterranean MPAs were conducted to find similarities and site-specific differences in coastline fluxes and sources of plastic marine litter. Output from the recently developed 2D Lagrangian model for the Mediterranean was post-processed to study (1) the National Park of ses Salines d'Eivissa i Formentera, (2) Nature Reserve of Bouches de Bonifacio, (3) North-East Malta MPA, (4) Specially Protected Area of Porto Cesareo, (5) Community Importance Site of Torre Guaceto, and (6) Ethniko Thalassio Parko Alonnisou Voreion Sporadon. Model coastline fluxes of plastic ranged from 0.4 to3.6 kg (km day), which is relatively low compared to the average flux of 6.2 ± 0.8 kg (km day) calculated over the Mediterranean 2013-2017. Shipping was identified as a major source of plastic litter in all MPAs studied, contributing 55%-88% of total plastic. Site-specific rankings of the top 5 land-based plastic sources revealed that sea surface kinematics control plastic drift.
对六个选定的地中海海洋保护区进行了比较，以发现海岸线通量和海洋塑料垃圾来源的相似之处和特定地点的差异。最近开发的地中海二维拉格朗日模型的输出被后处理，以研究（1）伊维萨和福门特拉的 ses Salines d'Eivissa 国家公园，（2）博凯斯德博尼法乔自然保护区，（3）马耳他东北海洋保护区，（4）波托切萨雷特别保护区，（5）托雷瓜切托社区重要地点，以及（6）阿洛尼索斯沃雷翁斯波拉多公园。模型计算的塑料海岸线通量范围为 0.4 至 3.6kg(km·天)，与 2013-2017 年地中海平均通量 6.2 ± 0.8kg(km·天)相比相对较低。在所有研究的海洋保护区中，航运被确定为塑料垃圾的主要来源，占塑料总量的 55%-88%。基于特定地点的前 5 大陆源塑料的排名显示，海面运动学控制着塑料漂移。
