Sources of marine litter

Effects of marine litter

Considering the very slow rate of degradation of most marine litter items, a continuous input of large quantities of marine litter will result in a gradual increase of litter in the coastal and marine environment.

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).

Challenges in preventing and combating marine litter

Almost 58 per cent of the coastal marine litter found could be attributed to shoreline and recreational activities, such as beach picnicking and general littering.

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.

Prevention and protection

Improved and sustained hygiene (particularly hand washing), water safety and environmental sanitation practices.
