This document discusses the problems related to marine litter and its growing threat. Most marine litter consists of material that degrades slowly, if at all, so a continuous input of large quantities of these items results in a gradual build-up in the marine and coastal environment. Marine litter is an environmental, economic, health and aesthetic problem. It causes damage and death to wildlife. It threatens marine and coastal biological diversity in productive coastal areas. Pieces of litter can transport invasive species between seas. A wide range of marine litter-related instruments already exist and actions are being taken at the global and regional levels.
