Abstract

The continuous flow of large quantities of plastics and waste from land and sea based sources result in a gradual build up of litter in the marine and coastal environment. Plastics and other man-made objects cause serious impacts on environment, economics, safety and health. Worldwide, millions of marine mammals, birds, turtle and fish perish as a result of entanglement or ingestion of discarded debris. Marine litter spoils beaches, floats on the sea surface, drifts in the water column due to the current and is also found on the deep sea bed.
