Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Abstract
Marine litter, especially marine plastic litter, is becoming more abundant in the ocean, and is having an increasing impact on human health, livelihoods and the environment. To reduce the amount of litter entering the ocean, and reduce the social, economic and environmental impact, society will need to adopt measures to reduce the generation of waste and improve waste management. Providing evidence of the distribution and abundance of marine litter, the location of litter ‘hotspots’, and the proportion of the various categories of litter, will help in the design and implementation of management measures to reduce the leakage of litter to the ocean. These guidelines have been developed for use by researchers in EAF-Nansen Programme Partner Countries to assist them in sampling, identifying and recording marine litter, to a consistent standard.
