Marine Debris Survey Manual [PDF]
, 1992 Over the last several years, concern has increased aboutthe amount of man-made materials lost or discarded atsea and the potential impacts to the environment. Thescope of the problem depends on the amounts and typesof debris. One problem in making a regional comparisonof debris is the lack of a standard methodology.
