Quantitative data on marine litter were collected during Medits surveys carried out in the central and southern Tyrehenian sea (FAO-GSA 10) from 2017 to 2019. Plastic was the most abundant category in all years, occurring in 94,76% of the hauls. Preliminary analysis of geographical distribution of litter in GSA 10 showed relatively even distribution of light plastic.

Abstract

Quantitative data on marine litter were collected during Medits surveys carried out in the central and southern Tyrehenian sea (FAO-GSA 10) from 2017 to 2019. Plastic was the most abundant category in all years, occurring in 94,76% of the hauls. Preliminary analysis of geographical distribution of litter in GSA 10 showed relatively even distribution of light plastic.
