'This study investigates the dispersion of floating plastic from Recife-PE harbor using a particle tracking model and examines contaminants in fishing nets collected from Brazilian beaches. Simulations were conducted for both dry and rainy seasons. Fishing nets were collected from eight beaches for analysis. The plastic movement simulation showed particles dispersed 0.41 km southward during the dry season and 177.50 km northward during the rainy season. Most particles (90 %) beached within the first week, indicating localized litter distribution. The study identified 14 pesticide residues in the collected nets, along with heavy metals such as arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, nickel, zinc, and iron, detected via Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES). The pesticide and metal data were used to calculate the toxicological priority index (ToxPi), showing the sample from Joaquina-SC had the highest toxicity, while the sample from Sancho-PE had the lowest. Principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) revealed pollution patterns, with potential associations between pesticides and metals. These findings raise concerns about the contaminants impact on marine organisms and human health, highlighting the importance of understanding plastic pollution dynamics and associated risks. Also, the outcomes emphasize the need to reevaluate environmental regulations to better protect ecosystems and species from harmful pollutants, including plastics.',

'Vertical motions of mesoscale ocean eddies modulate the resource environment, productivity, and phytoplankton biomass in the oceans subtropical gyres. The horizontal circulations can trap or disperse the eddy-driven chlorophyll anomalies, which can be observed from space. From 2 decades of satellite remote sensing observations in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre (NPSG), we compared the chlorophyll anomalies within “leaky” eddy boundaries identified using an Eulerian sea level anomaly (SLA) method and within strictly coherent “trapping” bounds derived from Lagrangian particle simulations. On average, NPSG Lagrangian coherent vortices maintain stronger chlorophyll anomalies than Eulerian SLA eddies due to the limitation of lateral dilution. This is observed in both cyclones and anticyclones. However, there is variability in the biological signature of trapping by sub-region and season. Eddy trapping of positive chlorophyll anomalies is most significant in the southern regions of the NPSG, counter to expectations from a commonly used Eulerian metric of eddy trapping. We found weak relationships between eddy age and the magnitude of surface chlorophyll anomalies in most long-lived Lagrangian coherent vortices; the strongest exception was in wintertime anticyclones in the lee of the Hawaiian Islands, where chlorophyll increases throughout eddy lifetimes. Overall, our results challenge the assumption that Eulerian-identified mesoscale eddy boundaries are coherent and suggest that Lagrangian trapping, combined with regional and seasonal factors, shapes the chlorophyll concentrations of subtropical mesoscale eddies.',
