| Summary: | Marine debris is defined by the United Nations
Environment Programme (UNEP) as any persistent,
manufactured or processed solid material discarded,
disposed or abandoned in the marine and coastal
environment (Butterworth et al., 2012). There are
many types or categories of marine debris such as
plastic, rubber, metal, glass, timber (Ribic et al.,
1992) and plastics are the most common marine
debris worldwide. The sources of marine debris
can be either from land-based, ocean-based and
common sources (Sheavly, 2005). About 80% of
marine debris is washed off from land, blown by
winds, or deliberately discarded from shore whereas
approximately 20% originated from vessels and
offshore platforms (Potts & Hastings, 2011; Mobilik
& Hassan, 2015). |
