       'Floating plastic debris can provide long-lived substrates for attached organisms, but reconstructing the drift history of small consumer items remains difficult. Here we report a colonized plastic bottle cap collected in the northwest Pacific. The cap hosted a tube-building polychaete and an associated assemblage including benthic foraminifera. We combined (1) a census of the fouling community, (2) chamber-level δ18O and δ13C measurements from two Rosalina globularis tests, and (3) Lagrangian drift simulations driven by surface currents to constrain the caps likely trajectory and timescale. The assemblage comprised nine taxa and 307 individuals, and was strongly dominated by spirorbid tubes (Spirorbis sp.; 76.5%). For specimen #021, δ18O-derived temperatures were 26.0 °C for the pooled early chambers (p–f-4), 26.8 °C for f-3, 29.9 °C for f-2, 23.3 °C for f-1, and 22.3 °C for the final chamber; the final-chamber estimate was close to the in situ sea-surface temperature at collection (21.7–21.8 °C). The final chamber of specimen #005 yielded an estimated temperature of 27.0 °C but should be treated as a reference value because of its very small carbonate mass. Drift simulations suggested that trajectories reaching the sampling site within ∼1–3 months most frequently originated from the Philippine region and were transported northward by the Kuroshio system. This multi-proxy approach illustrates how benthic biofoulers, including foraminifera, can help reconstruct the dispersal history of small plastic items and highlights the potential for occasional long-distance transport of coastal benthic taxa on tiny rafts.',

+      'Large quantities of plastic pollution are accumulating at small island nations across the western Indian Ocean. Despite a historical focus on terrestrial inputs, recent research suggests that most pollution arriving at some islands may come from fishing and shipping activity. We use a 2D Lagrangian particle-tracking model, combined with satellite-tracked shipping and fishing data, to identify major fisheries and shipping lanes which are responsible for plastic debris beaching at the Seychelles. Virtual particles, representing plastic debris, are released monthly over multiple decades and are advected by currents from a 1/50°(2 km) regional ocean model. We find most fishing debris originates from within the Seychelles’ own exclusive economic zone, and sources of shipping debris are concentrated along major shipping routes. Sources vary seasonally, due to wind-induced reversals of surface currents between monsoons. Finally, we find variation in the quantity and seasonality of debris accumulation on a sub-island scale. Therefore, higher-resolution models that resolve local currents and kilometre scale islands may play a vital role in clean-up and management efforts.',
