Working Towards Productive Seas: A Comparative Analysis of the Marine Management Regimes under UK and Scottish Law
(University of Plymouth, 2014)
This research presents a comparative analysis of the marine management regimes under the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009 and the Marine (Scotland) Act 2010. In light of the vision shared by both administrations to achieve ...
Testing the Degradation Rates of Degradable, Non-degradable and Bio-degradable Plastics Within Simulated Marine Environments
(University of Plymouth, 2008)
The effect marina design and recreational boating has on the spread of Non Indigenous Species
(University of Plymouth, 2010)
The spread of Non Indigenous Species (NIS) is a global problem and has major implications for the pattern of local biodiversity and ultimately the functioning of ecosystems. Invasive NIS are recognised as a major threat ...
An investigation into the effects of underwater bubble formations on sound speed and attenuation
(University of Plymouth, 2016)
Underwater bubbles are prevalent in the marine environment, from natural sources such as breaking waves, biological and geological activity, and artificial sources such as wash from vessel motion and cavitation. Bubbles ...
Investigation of policies, environmental impacts, consumption and fate of plastic bags
(University of Plymouth, 2014)
Shopping with plastic bags in supermarkets is an indispensable part of life for citizens in many developed countries. There are not only 10 billion plastic bags given out in the UK but also huge amounts consumed in other ...
The impacts of tuna fisheries on the pelagic ecosystem in the central west Pacific Ocean
(University of Plymouth, 2014)

The derivation of sea surface velocities from satellite imagery using maximum cross correlation (MCC)
(University of Plymouth, 2016)
An investigation into the use of cross-correlation statistics to resolve surface velocities from satellite imagery was conducted for the region characterised by the Benguela current at approximately 24oS - 28oS and 9oE - ...
Field and laboratory investigation into scour around breakwaters
(University of Plymouth, 2017)
Coastal scour accounts for a significant proportion of the damage to marine structures. It is therefore important to be able to measure, model and predict scour effects to inform the design of new structures and to assess ...
Do microplastics affect the bioavailability of harmful pollutants?
(University of Plymouth, 2014)
Poster presentation
Effects of storm-induced sand scour on Patella vulgata off south-west Britain
(University of Plymouth, 2015)
This study investigates the impacts of storm-induced sand-scour on common limpets (Patella vulgata) off south-west Britain, focussing particularly on the physical impacts of this process, as well as shore recovery. Unusually ...
