摘要

持续的新冠肺炎疫情预计将加剧海洋垃圾问题。使用一次性个人防护设备（如口罩）将导致海洋塑料污染的增加。在这里，我们探索了公民科学在确定菲律宾棉兰老岛与新冠肺炎相关的海洋垃圾分布方面的潜力。志愿者通过社交媒体受到邀请，提供了与新冠肺炎相关的海洋垃圾的地理标记照片。尽管信息有限，但研究结果表明，与新冠肺炎相关的海洋垃圾可能普遍存在。由于已知菲律宾南部周围水域拥有高度的海洋生物多样性，与新冠肺炎相关的海洋垃圾与海洋物种的潜在负面相互作用是不可避免的。强调了公民科学在解决海洋垃圾研究的一些局限性方面的贡献，并建议进一步探索。

Citizen science highlights litter associated with COVID-19 as a potential threat on the island of Mindanao, Philippines: a marine biodiversity hotspot

The on-going COVID-19 pandemic is expected to exacerbate the marine litter problem. The use of disposable personal protective equipment (e.g., facemasks) will result to increase in marine plastics pollution. Here we explored the potential of citizen science to determine the distribution of marine litter associated with COVID-19 in Mindanao, Philippines. Volunteers were invited through social media, contributing geotagged photographs of marine litter associated with COVID-19. Although the information is limited, results showed the possible pervasiveness of marine litter associated with COVID-19. Since the waters surrounding the Southern Philippines is known to host high marine biodiversity, the potential negative interaction of marine litter associated with COVID-19 and marine species is inevitable. The contribution of citizen science to address some of the limitations on marine litter research is highlighted and is recommended to be explored further.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Marine and Island Cultures (ISSN 2212-6821), an international journal, is the official journal of the Institution for Marine and Island Cultures, Republic of Korea. The Journal of Marine and Island Cultures publishes peer-reviewed, original research papers, reviews, reports, and comments covering all aspects of the humanities and cultural issues pertaining to the marine and island environment. In addition the journal publishes articles that present integrative research conducted across interdisciplinary boundaries, including studies examining the sustainability of the living environment, nature-ecological resources and the socio-economic systems of islands and islanders. The journal particularly encourages the submission of papers relating to marine and island cultures in the Asia-Pacific Region as well as in the American, European and Mediterranean Regions.
