The assessment included mechanical testing, trawl modelling, and seawater ageing simulations to explore potential loss scenarios. Mechanical tests indicated that the PBS/PBAT braid was about half as strong as high-density polyethylene (HDPE) but was suitable for braiding and netting. After 3 years in seawater, PBS/PBAT monofilaments showed biotic degradation, with strength losses of 20 % at 15 °C and 80 % at 25 °C. This suggests that gear made from this polymer would degrade faster than conventional gear if lost.

However, most studies conducted in the Mediterranean Sea have focused on monitoring of only specific environmental compartments, and rarely have highlighted the overall impacts affecting an area. Therefore, using a new multi-compartment monitoring approach and a standardized methodology, this study investigates the abundance, distribution, composition and impact of marine litter on beaches, surface waters, fish and mussels in a coastal area of Tuscany (Italy). Concerning beach macro litter values, significant differences were found among the three beaches analysed, with the highest amount in the Feniglia beach (mean value = 1245 items/100 m). The top items found are cotton bud sticks (32.3 %), which in the winter survey at Feniglia beach, reached a remarkable density of 1983 items/100 m. Microlitter (1–5 mm), was detected in the beach sediments with a mean abundance of 130 items/m². Regarding floating macrolitter, the transect with the highest values was the Feniglia site at 3 nautical miles in autumn (1083 items/km²) while for floating microlitter the highest concentration (832,683 MPs/km²) was found in front of Scarlino. Of the 234 fish analysed from 5 different species, 67 contained microplastics in the gastrointestinal tract (28 %) with a mean value of 0.4 items per individual. The species with the highest occurrence was the European anchovy (<em>Engraulis encrasicolus</em>) (53 %) followed by the bogue (<em>Boops boops</em>) (40 %). Through the application of the Marine Litter Impact Index (MLII), considering all the compartments analysed, the Feniglia area emerges as the ecosystem most impacted by marine litter (mean MLII = 3.5, high).

SMX desorption from SPM occurred upon the sudden changes of hydrodynamic states, nearly reaching the one-fifth of the SMX equilibrium adsorption amounts within 30 min and the re-adsorption of SMX on SPM would occur with water remained stationary or the re-disturbance time prolonged. The dynamic adsorption process of SMX related with the physicochemical property changes of SPM, which was contributed to the hydrogen bonds, π–π interactions, surface complexation, significantly influenced by the pore filling at the macropore and mesopore scales. The MIKE 21 simulations confirmed hydrodynamic states as the primary factors affecting the migration of SMX and SPM.

The new detection and expansion of <em>D. vexillum</em> raise significant concerns in Norway, especially due to the potential extension of its distribution range into higher latitudes. This study presents the results of an <em>in situ</em> monitoring of the growth of eleven <em>D. vexillum</em> colonies in Stavanger between December 2020 and September 2022. Colony growth was calculated from underwater photographs taken approximately once a month. Overall, our findings indicate significant growth of most colonies after 624 days, increasing in size from 78 cm² to 1008 cm². Seasonal variations in seawater temperature are a major factor affecting the size and growth of the colonies. Most of the growth occurred during the summer months, when seawater temperature was between 13 °C and 18 °C. A rapid decline in colony growth rates was observed in November, as temperatures dropped below 13 °C, followed by colony regression below ~8 °C. These results therefore confirm the general understanding of <em>D. vexillum</em> as rapidly spreading species, characterized by a high colony growth rate. Its ongoing spread toward northern Norway is likely to have negative impacts on key coastal ecosystems (<em>e.g.</em>, kelp forests, rhodolith beds, seagrass meadows), as well as on several industries critical to Norway's economy (<em>e.g.</em>, oil industry, aquaculture, fisheries).
