Tackling Marine Debris in the 21st Century
C
Selected Literature on Quantities and Impacts of Marine Debris
The following tables are a review of peer-reviewed published literature only. Only those studies involving numerical data (versus graphical) were used herein; as such, this represents a selected set of data. When replicate data were presented (e.g., by site, by time), they were summarized by the topmost treatment variable to derive means and ranges. Only those studies reporting debris impact (Tables IV and V) with sample size greater than 20 for a given species were included herein.
