- Descriptions:
- This visualization product displays the marine litter material categories percentage per trawl per year.<br /><br />EMODnet Chemistry included the collection of marine litter in its 3rd phase. Since the beginning of 2018, data of seafloor litter collected by international fish-trawl surveys have been gathered and processed in the EMODnet Chemistry Marine Litter Database (MLDB). <br />The harmonization of all the data has been the most challenging task considering the heterogeneity of the data sources, sampling protocols (OSPAR and MEDITS protocols) and reference lists used on a European scale. Moreover, within the same protocol, different gear types are deployed during fishing bottom trawl surveys.<br /><br />Unlike other EMODnet seafloor litter products, all trawls surveyed since 2007 are included in this map even if the wingspread and/or the distance are unknown.<br />Only surveys with an unknown number of items were excluded from this product.<br /><br />Harmonization of the material categories between ICES and MEDITS lists has been performed and the following calculation has been applied: <br />Material % = (∑Number of items of each material category*100)/(∑Number of items of all material categories)<br /><br />More information on data processing and calculation are detailed in the document attached.
