Title
Regional maps of aquaculture litter
Description
Sea basin maps generated for visualising information on the geographic position of aquaculture facilities, in combination with the quantitative data of aquaculture-related litter. These maps are provided for the three sea basins and give an initial indication of the source-sink story of aquaculture-related litter, which are a useful tool for the various stakeholders and policy makers. These maps are a result of the collection of results from these three different databases (OSPAR, HELCOM and Marine LitterWatch) where the information was recalculated per category to an average number of collected items per 100 meter beach, and was later transformed into its visualization on three regional maps representing the North Sea, Baltic Sea and the Mediterranean Sea basins.
