Abstract

Marine debris is trash that gets into the marine environment as a result of careless handling or disposal. Marine debris includes all objects found in the marine environment that do not naturally occur in the ocean. Although items such as tree branches and the bones of land animals can be considered marine debris, the term generally refers to trash (articles that have been made or used by people and discarded). The most common categories of marine debris are plastic, glass, rubber, metal, paper, wood and cloth.
