![]() Despite decades of efforts to prevent and reduce marine litter in many countries, there is evidence that the problem is persistent and continues to increase, as human populations and single-use consumption patterns continue to rise. Marine pollution caused by solid waste is a growing problem on a global scale and generates intergenerational impacts ( Li et al., 2019 Lestari and Trihadiningrum, 2019). ![]() One of the main consequences of the models and patterns of production and consumption adopted by today’s society is the generation of waste, a major environmental problem that is increasingly demanding attention to the search for solutions, especially with regard to marine pollution ( Savelli et al., 2017 Walker, 2018 Wysocki and Billon, 2019). It lists the most useful methods for plastic degradation and recycling valorization, including degradation mediated by microorganisms (biodegradation) and the methods used to detect and analyze the biodegradation. ![]() This review covers the period from 1964 to April 2020 and comprehensively gathers investigation on marine plastic and microplastic pollution, negative consequences of plastic use, and bioplastic production. Currently, green environmentally friendly alternatives to plastic made from renewable feedstocks are starting to enter the market. Biodegradation is influenced by several factors, from the type of microorganism to the type of polymers, their physicochemical properties, and the environment conditions (e.g., temperature, pH, UV radiation). Recent studies reported the biodegradation of some types of polymers using different bacteria, biofilm forming bacteria, bacterial consortia, and fungi. There is a knowledge gap in this field, reason why research on this thematic is increasing. The development of solutions and methods to mitigate marine (micro)plastic pollution is in high demand. Plastic and microplastic waste has a negative environmental, social, and economic impact, e.g., causing injury/death to marine organisms and entering the food chain, which leads to health problems. Until recently, oceans were treated as places to dispose of litter, thus the persistent substances are causing serious pollution issues. However, plastics are accumulating in the environment and due to their low biodegradability rate, this problem will persist for centuries. Plastics are very useful materials and present numerous advantages in the daily life of individuals and society. 6Physics Department, Instituto Superior de Engenharia de Lisboa, Instituto Politécnico de Lisboa, Lisbon, Portugal. ![]() 5I3N – CENIMAT, Materials Science Department, School of Science and Technology, NOVA University Lisbon, Caparica, Portugal.4Marine Biology Station Piran, National Institute of Biology, Piran, Slovenia.3LAQV– REQUIMTE, Chemistry Department, School of Science and Technology, NOVA University Lisbon, Caparica, Portugal.2UCIBIO – Applied Biomolecular Sciences Unit, Chemistry Department, BIOENG Lab, School of Science and Technology, NOVA University Lisbon, Caparica, Portugal.1UCIBIO – Applied Biomolecular Sciences Unit, Chemistry Department, Blue Biotechnology & Biomedicine Lab, School of Science and Technology, NOVA University Lisbon, Caparica, Portugal.da Silva 3, Ana Rotter 4, Željko Petrovski 3, Pedro L.

Using the basics covered in this course you will be able to familiarize yourself with resin and use these same techniques on bigger projects. I will list all materials needed under class project. *I put this kit together to make it easier but you can absolutely complete this course with your own materials. It includes everything you need to familiarize yourself with resin and make a beautiful Ocean Scape that you can hang in your home. With this course I've actually gone one step further and put together an 'Ocean Resin Art Box' to go along with this project. I have a strong passion for teaching and I am a part-time kids art instructor. I am a full time artist and I have been professionally working with resin for over 5 years. In this tutorial I not only guide you Step by Step through this project but I also share tons of resin tips and tricks that took me over 4 years to learn! You've seen all the videos of different Artist's Making Beautiful Art with resin and thought to yourself - I wish I could do that. In this class I will teach you how to make a Resin Ocean Scape with beautiful waves! Hello and Welcome to my first Resin Tutorial!
