Marine Litter Sources By Joanna Long

What’s the Problem Approximately 10 million tonnes of litter end up in the world’s oceans each year. The term marine litter covers a range of materials which have been deliberately discarded, or accidentally lost on shore or at sea, and it includes materials that are carried out to sea from land, rivers, drainage and sewerage systems, or the wind.

It is estimated that 70% of marine litter is on the seabed 15% is floating in the water column 15% is what we find on our shores !

Sources of Marine Litter Litter dropped in towns and cities Over flowing litter bins Litter dropped at the beach Lost/discharged fishing gear Microbeads from personal care products Sewage relate litter Recreational litter blown by the wind

Impacts of Marine Litter Marine litter kills, injures and causes pain and suffering and every year entails. Great economic costs and losses to people and communities around the world.

Impacts to Marine Life Entanglement of marine animals. Ghost fishing: lost or abandoned fishing gear that continues to catch fish. Ingestion by marine animals. Spread of alien species by marine debris.

Impacts of People and Economy Ingestion of microplastics. Damage to fishing, fishing boats and gear. Contamination of beaches. Damage to the scenic quality of coastal areas.
