Marine Debris Survey Information Guide.

Abstract

Marine debris surveys are part of the Gulf St. Vincent Marine Threat Abatement project, initiated by the Adelaide and Mount Lofty Ranges Natural Resources Management Board (AMLRNRMB) and supported through the Australian Government’s Caring for Our Country initiative. This is a collaborative project between three Natural Resource Management Boards (AMLR, Kangaroo Island and Northern and Yorke), Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society, South Australian Museum and other organisations around Gulf St Vincent to address the Australian Government’s Marine Debris Threat Abatement Plan to minimise impacts on marine species. The Marine Debris Project seeks to implement objectives of the Threat Abatement Plan (TAP) for Marine Wildlife at a local level.
