Sources, beaches in study and macroareas of accumulation

In this page you can see the results obtained from the dispersion simulations. Every simulation is performed for 360 days and a continuous release of 5 particles/hour is implemented.

Below, on the left you can see the sources from which the marine litter has been released in the simulations, on the right the beaches studied since now are shown. The considered sources of marine litter are lake's mouths, lagoon's mouths, river's mouth, harbours and industries that are situated near the coasts.
