Marine debris is an international preoccupation. "Beach Sweeps" programs are taking place in coastal regions around the world. Although it is important to increase public participation in shore clean-ups, it is even more important to reduce and eventually eliminate the need for these programs. That's where we make use of the debris inventory list.
Inventory results will be used in the fight to reduce marine debris at the source. Inventories help scientists and governments determine the origin and the path travelled by marine debris. This helps in finding solutions that should eliminate the problem before it even occurs. For these reasons, we encourage the participants to keep a detailed inventory list of the debris found and to return it to the appropriate organisation at the end of the activity.
