Marine Litter Audit Guidebook

Clean Cities, Blue Ocean’s Marine Litter Audit Guidebook provides practical guidance on measuring the rate, extent, and composition of litter that is intentionally deposited on, or washes onto, a beach area to measure the extent and impacts of marine litter on beach-front areas in communities.

The Guidebook provides instructions on how to conduct a baseline audit of litter on beach fronts (and potentially other waterways) that can be used to develop programs to prevent litter at its source. This Guidebook is therefore intended to provide a statistically credible, yet easy-to-use tool for local communities to better understand the incidence of litter, and once the data has been collected, develop cost-effective solutions to prevent litter from negatively impacting human health and the environment.
