Marina:

if still of interest (and not too old...?)- the attached fiile gives you an overview on the legislation and initiatives on marine litter. Additionally the Annex addresses possible financing of connected Projects as well as a listing of related  financed Research Programs like MARLISCO („MARine Litter in Europe Seas: Social AwarenesS and CO-Responsibility“) and (CLEANSEA).

greetings Michaela

Thank you so much Michaela.

Hello Marina, If you consider microplastics as marine litter too, take a look at these two recent assessments:

1) FAO ("Microplastics in fisheriesand aquaculture Status of knowledge on their occurrence and implicationsfor aquatic organisms and food safety')

2) GSESAMP ("SOURCES, FATE AND EFFECTS OF MICROPLASTICS IN THE MARINE ENVIRONMENT: A GLOBAL ASSESSMENT")

Hope this may help

Regards

Javier

Pd/ I Could send you a pdf-copy if you can't get them

Thank you Javier!

Actually, I do have a copy of the GESAMP assessment n.90 and n. 93 and I find it very useful for my research.

I will look for the FAO report, which could be interesting for other sections of my work.

Dear Researcher:Pl look up EU-MV Reporting instructions as given by UN, IMO Guidelines for Marine Cargo shipping and Oil Industries activities in the ocean/ seas. Many stringent guidelines have been issued in this regard with reporting of the activities performed etc.. well wishes.
