TermCoord:
According to the European Commission, more than 80% of marine litter is plastics. Together they constitute 70% of all marine litter items. Due to its slow decomposition, plastic accumulates in seas, oceans and on beaches in the EU and worldwide. Plastic residue is found in marine species – such as sea turtles, seals, whales and birds, but also in fish and shellfish, and therefore in the human food chain.
Example sentences:
Marine litter presents a huge problem in our oceans, with some scientists warning that, by 2050, the quantity of plastics in the oceans will outweigh fish. (International Maritime Organization)
During the discussion it became clear that a mix of measures needs to be established on different levels in order to successfully reduce marine litter. For this, a stronger horizontal coordination between the different policy fields and administrative departments relevant for the sources and management of marine litter is indispensable. (Ecologic)
Within marine litter, plastics typically constitute the dominant pollutant item and sometimes can account for up to 100% of marine litter pollution in a specific area (Galgani, Hanke, and Maes, 2015; Williams and Simmons, 1997; Worm et al., 2017). (BioOne)

Our seas and oceans are increasingly becoming the waste dump of the planet. Man-made litter is contaminating marine habitats and posing serious environmental, economic and health problems. A new Commission policy paper aims to raise awareness of the problem and to stimulate debate on ways to tackle it.
Marine litter is the result of a wide range of land and sea-based activities and sources. That very diversity, along with insufficient knowledge and data of the many facets of the phenomenon, increases the complexity of finding appropriate responses.
Definition from
Site oficial al Uniunii Europene:
Deșeurile marine sunt rezultatul unei game extinse de activităţi și de surse de factură terestră și maritimă. Tocmai această diversitate, alături de insuficiente cunoștinţe și date legate de multiplele faţete ale fenomenului, mărește complexitatea găsirii unor răspunsuri adecvate.
Example sentences:
Aceste deșeuri pot fi materiale plastice, metal, lemn, cauciuc, sticlă sau hârtie. Se estimează că aproximativ 15% din gunoiul marin plutește la suprafaţa mării, același procent rămâne în coloana de apă și 70% ajunge pe fundul mării. Plasticul este cel mai însemnat și mai nociv exemplu. (Comisia Europeană)
