Description
The research made following beach waste collection activities and cleanups revealed variations in the quantity and types of marine litter across selected beaches in different countries. The collected data will aid in predicting marine litter sources, supporting the development of a cross-border Marine Litter Management Plan for sustainable and enduring management. Additionally, sharing the research results aims to raise public awareness about the marine litter issue.
