Status and future recommendations for recording and monitoring litter on the Arctic seafloor
<jats:p> Marine litter in the Arctic Basin is influenced by transport from Atlantic and Pacific waters. This highlights the need for harmonization of guidelines across regions. Monitoring can be used to assess temporal and spatial trends but can also be used to assess if environmental objectiv...
