internet of things in Marine Environment monitoring a review
Sensors, 2019Co-Authors: Yanjun Shi, Xueyan Sun, Weiming ShenAbstract:Marine Environment monitoring has attracted more and more attention due to the growing concern about climate change. During the past couple of decades, advanced information and communication technologies have been applied to the development of various Marine Environment monitoring systems. Among others, the Internet of Things (IoT) has been playing an important role in this area. This paper presents a review of the application of the Internet of Things in the field of Marine Environment monitoring. New technologies including advanced Big Data analytics and their applications in this area are briefly reviewed. It also discusses key research challenges and opportunities in this area, including the potential application of IoT and Big Data in Marine Environment protection.

applications of wireless sensor networks in Marine Environment monitoring a survey
Sensors, 2014Co-Authors: Weiming Shen, Xianbin WangAbstract:With the rapid development of society and the economy, an increasing number of human activities have gradually destroyed the Marine Environment. Marine Environment monitoring is a vital problem and has increasingly attracted a great deal of research and development attention. During the past decade, various Marine Environment monitoring systems have been developed. The traditional Marine Environment monitoring system using an oceanographic research vessel is expensive and time-consuming and has a low resolution both in time and space. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have recently been considered as potentially promising alternatives for monitoring Marine Environments since they have a number of advantages such as unmanned operation, easy deployment, real-time monitoring, and relatively low cost. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art technologies in the field of Marine Environment monitoring using wireless sensor networks. It first describes application areas, a common architecture of WSN-based oceanographic monitoring systems, a general architecture of an oceanographic sensor node, sensing parameters and sensors, and wireless communication technologies. Then, it presents a detailed review of some related projects, systems, techniques, approaches and algorithms. It also discusses challenges and opportunities in the research, development, and deployment of wireless sensor networks for Marine Environment monitoring.

microplastics as contaminants in the Marine Environment a review
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2011Co-Authors: Matthew Cole, Pennie Lindeque, Claudia Halsband, Tamara S. GallowayAbstract:Since the mass production of plastics began in the 1940s, microplastic contamination of the Marine Environment has been a growing problem. Here, a review of the literature has been conducted with the following objectives: (1) to summarise the properties, nomenclature and sources of microplastics; (2) to discuss the routes by which microplastics enter the Marine Environment; (3) to evaluate the methods by which microplastics are detected in the Marine Environment; (4) to assess spatial and temporal trends of microplastic abundance; and (5) to discuss the Environmental impact of microplastics. Microplastics are both abundant and widespread within the Marine Environment, found in their highest concentrations along coastlines and within mid-ocean gyres. Ingestion of microplastics has been demonstrated in a range of Marine organisms, a process which may facilitate the transfer of chemical additives or hydrophobic waterborne pollutants to biota. We conclude by highlighting key future research areas for scientists and policymakers.

plastics in the Marine Environment
Annual Review of Marine Science, 2017Co-Authors: Kara Lavender LawAbstract:Plastics contamination in the Marine Environment was first reported nearly 50 years ago, less than two decades after the rise of commercial plastics production, when less than 50 million metric tons were produced per year. In 2014, global plastics production surpassed 300 million metric tons per year. Plastic debris has been detected worldwide in all major Marine habitats, in sizes from microns to meters. In response, concerns about risks to Marine wildlife upon exposure to the varied forms of plastic debris have increased, stimulating new research into the extent and consequences of plastics contamination in the Marine Environment. Here, I present a framework to evaluate the current understanding of the sources, distribution, fate, and impacts of Marine plastics. Despite remaining knowledge gaps in mass budgeting and challenges in investigating ecological impacts, the increasing evidence of the ubiquity of plastics contamination in the Marine Environment, the continued rapid growth in plastics production...
