Modeling the origin and fate of waste materials on the south-eastern Adriatic coast (Croatia)

On 21st November 2010, garbage accumulation has been observed on the southeast coast of Croatia, from Pelješac Peninsula to Dubrovnik. The labels on the garbage items suggested that it arrived mostly from Albania. It is assumed that strong southeasterly wind has intensified the sea current system that brought the garbage and that it washed into the sea by flash floods. These hypotheses will be investigated using available meteorological, oceanographic and hydrological data.
