The group develops guidance on seafloor litter and microplastic monitoring and assessment to support the data needs of our member countries and the wider science and assessment community internationally.
The group is working towards a proposal on a seafloor litter and microplastics research and monitoring strategy for ICES, in conjunction with member countries, a range of regional organisations and the ICES Data Centre. Their work will advance our understanding of the prevalence and impacts of marine litter and microplastics.
