dc.descriptionHELCOM marine litter project is the first effort in the region to look into the scale of the problem, the availability of information and the actions needed in the Baltic Sea area. Lack of comparable and reliable data is a major gap in marine litter issues in the Baltic Sea. There is dispersed information collected with different practices, the practice depending on the reporting organization or authority. Therefore, HELCOM has prepared a Recommendation for the harmonization of methods of sampling and reporting the amount and type of marine litter on the beach within the Baltic Sea region, and a survey form for reporting marine litter, in order to get more harmonized data from different initiatives in the future. Amendments to the HELCOM Recommendation 28/1 on Application of the no-special-fee system to ship-generated wastes in the Baltic Sea area has been prepared by the project to include the litter caught in the fishing nets to the no-special-fee system.en
