Debris research focuses on studying the accumulation, distribution, and impact of man-made debris in various environments, particularly in marine and terrestrial ecosystems. This research area covers a wide range of topics, including plastic pollution, microplastics, abandoned or lost fishing gear, and space debris. Scientists in this field aim to understand the sources, transport mechanisms, and ecological effects of debris on the environment, wildlife, and human health. Additionally, research in this area often seeks to develop strategies for mitigating and managing debris pollution to protect ecosystems and promote sustainable resource use.
