This report synthesizes the findings of 57 published articles, unpublished datasets, and grey literature reports (Appendix 1). Unlike existing regional studies2 that use a single key metric to report plastic pollution figures and trends or that simply list all known findings, Regional report on plastic pollution in Newfoundland and Labrador, 1962-2019 aims to create a thicker description of plastics at a regional scale to encompasses all sources, data, and types of information on plastics.
