Beaching process of floating marine debris associated with the evolution of the nearshore wave.

Floating marine debris (FMD) is a pervasive problem in marginal seas worldwide. Driven by the nearshore waves, the FMD gradually accumulates shoreward and has a large chance of being beached, posing a direct threat to the coastal environment. Thus, investigating the nearshore drifting and beaching process of the FMD is of paramount importance.
