Ghost gears produce microplastics inside the seawater and sediments. I want to know, I am looking for some models to show the relation between the number of microplastics and the number of ghost gears.

The plastic pollution of our oceans is one of the biggest environmental issues of our time. If the trend of plastic pollution in the oceans continues as business as usual, by 2050 there might be more plastics in the oceans than fish. One of the biggest contributions to plastic pollution of the oceans are ghost nets that are floating through the oceans, entangling and killing wildlife. A little less obvious are microscopic plastic particles that are either entering the ocean directly or being degraded from larger plastics.
