Researchers from the Environmental Hydraulics Institute of the Universidad de Cantabria (IHCantabria<\/a>) have conducted an experimental study to analyze how marsh vegetation, in particular the species Spartina maritima<\/em>, can contribute to the trapping of floating plastic debris in estuaries.<\/p>\n

The results of the study, which have been recently published in the journal Marine Pollution Bulletin<\/em>, provide new knowledge about the physical processes that favor the retention of plastics in these transitional ecosystems, between rivers and oceans. The following IHCantabria researchers are co-authors of the scientific article: Paula N\u00fa\u00f1ez P\u00e9rez<\/a>, Laura P\u00e9rez Garc\u00eda<\/a>, Seyed Meysam Rezaee (who participated in part of the study, when he was linked as a predoctoral researcher at IHCantabria), Javier F. B\u00e1rcena<\/a> and Andr\u00e9s Garc\u00eda G\u00f3mez<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The study referred to in the scientific article consisted of a series of laboratory experiments carried out in a hydraulic channel in IHCantabria. In these tests, typical marsh conditions were simulated – varying water levels, current and wind velocities -, three vegetation densities and nine different types of plastic debris in shape and size were analyzed.<\/p>\n

As a result of these trials, an experimental database was developed and a preliminary expression was derived that relates the trapping efficiency of estuarine Spartina maritima <\/em>vegetation , <\/em>taking into account the shape and size of plastic debris, vegetation density and marsh currents.<\/p>\n

The first author of the scientific article recently published in Marine Pollution Bulletin<\/em>, Paula N\u00fa\u00f1ez P\u00e9rez<\/a>, emphasizes that this research “is framed within basic science, aimed at improving the understanding of the physical processes involved in the interaction between floating plastic waste and marsh vegetation”.<\/p>\n

Although it is not a direct solution to the pollution problem, the advances achieved by IHCantabria’s research staff are essential to optimize predictive models of plastic waste transport, dispersion and accumulation and to support long-term environmental monitoring and management strategies.<\/p>\n
