Data quality processing informationSurveys performed followed the “Methodology for Monitoring Marine Litter on the Seafloor (continental shelf) – bottom trawl surveys” that were prepared within the framework of the marine litter monitoring approach based on the EU MSFD TG10 “Guidance on Monitoring of Marine Litter in European Seas (2013)”, the NOOA “Marine Debris Monitoring and Assessment: Recommendations for Monitoring Debris Trends in the Marine Environment (2013) and the “MEDITS International bottom trawl survey in the Mediterranean, Instructional Manual”, taking into consideration the draft “UNEP/MAP MEDPOL Monitoring Guidance Document on Ecological Objective 10: Marine Litter (2014)”. All items visible with the naked eye collected from the haul were entered on the data sheet developed in the framework of the DeFishGear project.
