The University of Barcelona is working on a citizen science project to better understand the origins and final destination of the plastics that reach the sea
These powerful flows could be capable of traveling at speeds of up to eight meters per second, carrying plastic waste from the continental shelf to depths of more than 3,200 metres.
A portable coral aquaculture system that can be packed away and moved in sea containers to remote areas to help with coral reef restoration is being put through its paces in the Maldives for the coral spawning season.
