Abstract
Marine Litter: A Threat for Northern Gannet Breeding Success in Highly Anthropized Environment
Highlights
Anthropogenic litter, i.e. any manufactured or processed solid waste material that enters the environment from any source, represents one of the main threats for the natural ecosystems
This paper documents the damage caused by Anthropogenic Marine debris (AMDs), and especially by aquaculture waste, on rare breeding case of Atlantic seabirds (Northern Gannets) in the Mediterranean Area
The marine component of litter (Antropogenic Marine debris - AMDs, or marine litter - ML), which represents an important proportion of the total anthropogenic litter, is included in the European Marine Strategy Framework Directive (2008/56/ECMSFD; EEC, 2008: descriptor 10; [1])
Summary
This paper documents the damage caused by Anthropogenic Marine debris (AMDs), and especially by aquaculture waste, on rare breeding case of Atlantic seabirds (Northern Gannets) in the Mediterranean Area. Anthropogenic litter, i.e. any manufactured or processed solid waste material that enters the environment from any source, represents one of the main threats for the natural ecosystems.
