Plastic Plants: Detecting water hyacinth patches as a proxy for riverine plastic transport

The project, part of the ESA Discovery Campaign on Remote Sensing of Plastic Marine Litter, developed a method to estimate floating macroplastic accumulation and transport rates in rivers using remote sensing. It combined the detection of floating water hyacinths using Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-1 with in-situ estimates of macroplastic densities carried by this invasive aquatic weed. Water hyacinths typically form large patches of several meters of width and length, and can thus be detected from space.

Space and maritime: analysis of requirements in Greece

The Space4Maritime.gr study identified, analysed and prioritised via desk research, interviews and an online survey 118 unique needs of the maritime sector in Greece which could benefit from space infrastructure. It then translated these needs into a list of user requirements.
