Challenges in preventing and combating marine litter

But the breathing space provided to the regime does not offer it salvation.

The main land based sources of marine litter are municipal landfills (waste dumps) located on the coast, riverine transport of waste from landfills and other sources, discharges of untreated municipal sewage and storm water, industrial facilities, medical waste and tourism (recreational visitors, beach goers).

While all computer analysis is subject to the GIGO (garbage in, garbage out) restriction, this is especially true of digital simulation.

As long as the input of non degradable litter into the marine environment continues, the result will be increased quantities of marine litter in the coastal and marine environments.
