Scottish Marine and Freshwater Science Vol 10 No 4 | Pilot Scottish Beach Litter Performance Indicators (SBLPI)
2019
Marine Scotland,
The SGLPIs are generated using data generously provided by the Marine Conservation Society (MCS) Beachwatch programme. This extensive citizen-science programme is a fundamentally important monitoring activity needed to understand man’s impact on our marine environment. More details of the programme can be found at https://www.mcsuk.org/beachwatch/. Many thanks to MCS and all the volunteers who have painstakingly collected the data over the last decade.
اظهر المزيد [+] اقل [-]A range of pilot Scottish Beach Litter Performance Indicators (SBLPIs) are proposed which aim to allow the Scottish Government to monitor the state of litter on its beaches, as well as judge the success of its policies in reducing sources of marine plastics and litter. The SGLPIs will form the basis of adding aspects of beach litter assessment to the 2019 update of Scotland’s Marine Atlas and the Marine Scotland MAPS NMPi (National Marine Plan interactive) interactive tool, part of the Marine Scotland Open Data Network, which has been designed to assist in the development of national and regional marine planning. The pilot indicators were initially prepared for the Scottish Government Litter Evidence and Analysis Group, November 2018.
