Short summary
We used the MOHID-Lagrangian model to simulate the transport and accumulation of floating debris in the Ría de Arousa (2018–2023). Two-dimensional surface simulations with windage coefficients of 1 %, 3 %, and 5 % represented different debris types. Seasonal and spatial patterns were analyzed using a high-resolution grid and 242 shoreline segments to assess wind and seasonal effects on debris distribution and retention.
