Economic Impacts of Marine Litter
Description
The main objective of this document is to investigate the economic impact of marine litter on coastal communities throughout the Northeast Atlantic region. This study updates and extends the pilot project carried out by KIMO International in 2000, which investigated the financial and social costs of marine litter (Hall 2000). Using a similar methodology to Hall (2000), this study examines how marine litter affects key industries that rely on the marine environment including: 1) Agriculture, 2) Aquaculture, 3) Fisheries, 4) Harbours, 5) Industrial seawater users, 6) Marinas, 7) Municipalities, 8) Power stations, 9) Rescue services, 10) Voluntary organisations, 10) Water Authorities
