Title (original)
Seabirds and marine plastic debris in Norway and Svalbard: A synthesis and recommendations for monitoring
Description
To improve our understanding of seabirds and marine plastic in Norway and Svalvard region, the Circular Ocean project completed a synthesis of the published and grey literature to obtain information on all known documented cases of plastic ingestion and nest incorporation by this group. This synthesis highlights important gaps in the current knowledge and recommend multi-jurisdictional collaboration to obtain a more comprehensive and current understanding of how marine plastic is affecting seabirds across Norway and Svalbard.
