Marine Litter Project

Litter Practical Activity

Due to the enormity of the litter issue, different techniques are used to observe the impact of litter at different scales. As a result of the complexity, much of what is known about litter loads and the impact of litter are estimates from various sampling techniques.

The litter issue is omnipresent and emerging. As scientists of the future, answer the following questions to explore how you might study the impact of litter in the environment.
