Description of the Resource

Title
Knowledge wave on marine litter from aquaculture sources - report
Description
The aim of this report is to provide an overview of the available knowledge on marine litter originating from the aquaculture sector and reported in the marine environment of the North Sea region, the Mediterranean region, and the Baltic region. It presents the mapping of aquaculture facilities, and a description of all aquaculture related items that can be observed as litter in the marine and coastal regions. The litter inventory was generated by a genuine screening of the available literature and litter databases (e.g. OSPAR, HELCOM, Marine Litter Watch) and is being extended during the course of the AQUA-LIT project on the basis of discussions with stakeholders and aquaculture farmers.
