Collecting marine litter during regular fish surveys

This report presents the results of the marine litter monitoring on the IBTS survey of 2014 and the BTS survey of 2013. Since 2013 marine litter is collected during the International Bottom Trawl Survey (IBTS) and Dutch Beam Trawl Survey (BTS) following a protocol developed by ICES. The composition and the distribution of the sea floor marine litter from the catch is analysed and the results are compared with the results from the IBTS and BTS surveys of last year.
