Use of ROV for assessing marine litter on the seafloor of Saronikos Gulf (Greece) : a way to fill data gaps and deliver environmental education
A visual census of marine litter on the seafloor of the Saronikos Gulf (Greece) is presented in the current work. The abundance and qualitative composition of benthic marine litter were investigated in two selected locations of the Saronikos Gulf with a Remote Operated Vehicle, where other sampling...
