Abstract: Anthropogenic debris is ubiquitous in the marine environment 
and has been reported to negatively impact hundreds of species globally. 
Seabirds are particularly at risk from entanglement in debris due to 
their habit of collecting food and, in many cases, nesting material off 
the ocean’s surface. We compared the prevalence and composition of 
debris in nests and along the beach at two Brown Booby (Sula 
leucogaster) colonies on Ashmore Reef, Timor Sea, a remote area known to 
contain high densities of debris transported by ocean currents. The 
proportion of nests with debris varied across islands (range 3–31%), 
likely in response to the availability of natural nesting materials. 
Boobies exhibited a preference for debris colour (white and black), but 
not type. The ephemeral nature of Brown Booby nests on Ashmore Reef may 
limit their utility as indicators of marine pollution, however 
monitoring is recommended in light of increasing demand for plastic 
products.

(http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0025326X13004657) Abstract: Plastic debris on six beaches near the Nakdong River Estuary, South Korea, was sampled in May and September 2012 and classified into three size classes, large microplastics (1–5 mm), mesoplastics (5–25 mm), and macroplastics (>25 mm). The relationships among the abundances of the size classes were then examined. The abundances of each size category in May (before rainy season) and in September (after rainy season) were 8205 and 27,606 particles/m2 for large microplastics, 238 and 237 particles/m2 for mesoplastics, and 0.97 and 1.03 particles/m2 for macroplastics, respectively. Styrofoam was the most abundant item both in microplastic and mesoplastic debris, while intact plastics were most common in macroplastic debris. The abundances of meso- and micro-plastics were the most strongly correlated. There was a higher correlation between the abundances of macro- and meso-plastics than between macro- and micro-plastics. Keywords: Marine debris; Microplastics; Mesoplastics; Macroplastics; Styrofoam
