- This ocean-based debris can include lost fishing or aquaculture gear, items lost from offshore oil and gas work, trash dumped off of vessels or platforms at sea, and containers that fall from large shipping vessels that transport products across the ocean.

5 days ago · The Marine Debris Monitoring and Assessment Project, or MDMAP, is NOAA’s flagship initiative to measure the amount and types of marine debris on shorelines. Using this standardized collection method, suite of helpful resources, and publicly available data, participants and volunteers can detect.
5 days ago · What are some examples of ocean-based marine debris? Ocean-based marine debris are those items that may be dumped, swept, or blown from vessels or platforms at sea, as well as discarded, lost, and damaged fishing gear, including lines, nets, traps, pots, buoys, floats, and more.

Despite measures to prevent and reduce marine debris, evidence shows that the problem continues and will likely worsen. One reason for the ineffectiveness of current measures is that, under MARPOL Annex V, shipborne waste management allows for the discharge of most wastes except plastics. Many industries, both on land and at sea, have developed a...
To prevent the discharge of waste at sea and work toward the goal of zero discharge, ships must have the ability to dispose of waste at onshore port facilities and have incentives to do so (or at least they should not face disincentives, for example, high disposal fees). Ships continue to face challenges in ofloading their wastes in ports, particu...
Fishing gear and fish aggregating devices (man-made floating objects designed to attract fish, known as FADs) that are constructed from durable synthetic fibers can be lost or abandoned at sea. As marine debris, derelict fishing gear can be particularly hazardous to marine life. Current regulations do not include account-ability measures for gear l...
Although there is clear evidence that marine debris is a problem, there has not been a coordi-nated or targeted effort to thoroughly document and understand its sources, fates, and impacts. This confounds the ability to prioritize mitigation efforts and to assess effectiveness of measures that have been implemented. Overarching Recommendation: The...

Marine debris from ships and other ocean-based sources-including trash and lost fishing gear-contributes to the spoiling of beaches, fouling of surface waters and the seafloor, and harm to marine animals, among other effects.
5 days ago · Our oceans are filled with items that do not belong there. Huge amounts of plastics, metals, rubber, paper, textiles, derelict fishing gear, derelict vessels, and other lost or discarded items enter the marine environment every day. This makes marine debris one of the most widespread pollution.
