Median garbage parts 2012-2017

Data of beach waste monitoring on the Schleswig-Holstein Baltic coast. Monitoring along the Fehmarn coast was organised by NABU and carried out with the help of volunteers. The number of garbage parts shown is derived from the median of the recorded waste parts on 100 m transects during the said period. Up to 4 coverages per monitoring year are carried out, with the monitoring year covering data from the beginning of December of the previous year until the end of November of that year. The collection of beach waste is carried out according to the OSPAR Beach Litter Guideline (2010).
