dc.description.abstract | Marine debris has become one of the most widespread pollution problems in the world’s oceans
and waterways today. The NOAA Marine Debris Program (MDP) serves as a centralized marine
debris resource within NOAA, coordinating and supporting activities within NOAA and with
other federal agencies. The MDP uses partnerships to support projects carried out by state and
local agencies, tribes, non-governmental organizations, academia, and industry.
Marine debris monitoring programs are necessary to compare debris sources, amounts, locations,
movement, and impacts across the US and internationally. Monitoring data can be used to
evaluate the effectiveness of policies to mitigate debris and provide insight into priority targets
for prevention. Thus, the NOAA MDP has developed standardized marine debris shoreline
survey protocols to facilitate regional and site-specific comparisons. This document provides a
standard data sheet and two different methods for shoreline monitoring and assessment. | en_US |
