Data quality processing informationThe methodology followed the “Methodology for Monitoring Marine Litter on Beaches (Macro-Debris >2.5cm)” that was prepared within the framework of the DeFishGear project and has been prepared based on the EU MSFD TG10 “Guidance on Monitoring of Marine Litter in European Seas (2013)”, the OSPAR “Guideline for Monitoring Marine Litter on the Beaches in the OSPAR Maritime Area (2010)” and the NOOA “Marine Debris Monitoring and Assessment: Recommendations for Monitoring Debris Trends in the Marine Environment (2013), taking into consideration the draft “UNEP/MAP MEDPOL Monitoring Guidance Document on Ecological Objective 10: Marine Litter (2014)”, with some modification related to the size of the sampling unit.
