Marine debris which is defined as any persistent, manufactured or processed solid material discarded, disposed of or abandoned in the marine and coastal environment is one of the most pervasive, yet potentially solvable, pollution affecting the world’s oceans, coastal ecosystems and rivers. Whereas impacts of most anthropogenic activities are usually found near the point source, marine debris has been found to impact even distant locations, of ten affecting uninhabited areas also. According to United Nations Joint Group of Experts on the Scientific Aspects of Marine Environmental Protection (GESAMP), 60 to 80%, of the global litter found in the coastal and marine ecosystems has originated from land and only the rest from sea based activities. The slow degradable nature of marine litter and the potential to pollute all spheres of oceans irrespective of point source has raised the alarm bells.
