Simulations that show where plastic debris could end up after 10 years after their release from different coastal cities across the Black Sea Basin. The evolution of the potential pathways of plastic particles are presented based on a two-month step. Color gradient from green to red represents increasing probability for a particle to reach this location.

The simulations have been produced with data retrieved from http://adrift.org.au/ - Van Sebille E, England MH, Froyland G (2012) Origin, dynamics and evolution of ocean garbage patches from observed surface drifters. Environ Res Lett, 7:044040.
