| الوصف: | Expanded polystyrene (EPS) buoys, commonly employed in South Korean aquaculture farms, are prone to fragmentation, generating substantial marine debris. The trajectories of EPS buoys dislocated from aquaculture farms were investigated using a Lagrangian particle-tracking model. Daily ocean current data from the 1/12° Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model analysis and wind data from the 1/4° European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts reanalysis were used as inputs. The particles were released daily, and the initial positions and number of particles were determined based on the usage of EPS buoys. Because EPS buoys are highly buoyant, both wind and ocean currents considerably influence their movement. To account for variations in the buoyancy of these buoys, three experiments were conducted, each considering different levels of windage. The simulation results closely aligned with the observed coastal distribution patterns of the large EPS debris. As the windage increases, the particles exhibit a swifter deviation from their original locations, highlighting the need for effective local management. Moreover, this increased windage affects the distribution patterns in regional seas, reducing the number of particles that flow into the East Sea, while increasing the number of particles that migrate into the Yellow Sea and East China Sea. |
