MAELSTROM: Bottom density of marine macro litter in the Adriatic Sea

An automated cable-robot on a platform that removes litter from the sea bed is being applied in demo sites near Venice (Italy) in the framework of the MAELSTROM Project. In order to identify the location where the technology could possibly best be applied and to assess the impact of the litter removal on marine life, MAELSTROM makes use of numerical models.

The applied numerical tool consists of a three-dimensional hydrodynamic model that reproduces the water current evolution in the domain of the case study area. While the focus of the project is the Venice lagoon and the Gulf of Venice, the study covers the whole Adriatic Sea, including the sources of marine litter coming from the whole of the Adriatic coastline.

The distribution of the marine litter in the Adriatic Sea was assessed by performing the numerical simulations, considering both the land based marine litter sources (rivers and cities), as well as marine sources (aquaculture) using the hydrodynamic model SHYFEM (for more information see the project deliverable D2.2 Numerical modelling and field campaigns to support litter removal at the demo sites).
