Abstract

Beach pollution is one of the most common hazards in present-day anthropogenic environments. Even in the remote Svalbard Archipelago, pollution impacts the beach system and can pose environmental threats. The significant increase in human activity observed in Svalbard over the last 20–30 years has resulted in a visible change in the amount of coastal pollution. A 5 km long transect of modern beach developed along Calypsostranda (Recherchefjorden, Bellsund) was surveyed in the summer of 2015 in order to characterize the beach pollution. During the survey 296 pieces of trash were found on beach surface. 82% of found trash was plastic, followed by glass (8%), and metal (5%). The comparison with previous pollution survey showed the significant increase of plastic waste in local beach environment. Similar problem has been recently recorded in other parts of Svalbard suggesting an urgent need for coastal pollution monitoring.
北极海滩上的垃圾:沿着Calypsostranda, Bellsund, Svalbard的海岸污染
海滩污染是当今人为环境中最常见的危害之一。即使在偏远的斯瓦尔巴群岛,污染也会影响海滩系统,并可能构成环境威胁。在过去的20-30年里,在斯瓦尔巴观察到人类活动的显著增加,导致了沿海污染量的明显变化。2015年夏天,为了描述海滩污染的特征,对Calypsostranda (Recherchefjorden, Bellsund)沿线开发的一个5公里长的现代海滩样带进行了调查。在调查期间,在海滩表面发现了296块垃圾。82%的垃圾是塑料,其次是玻璃(8%)和金属(5%)。与之前的污染调查相比,当地海滩环境中的塑料垃圾明显增加。最近在斯瓦尔巴群岛的其他地区也记录了类似的问题,这表明迫切需要对沿海污染进行监测。
