Recording Shoreline Litter Distribution

Shoreline litter mapping is a density product, not a count. What matters is where litter concentrates and how that changes after a cleanup or a storm.

2 of 10Method note

Overview

  • Report as density along the shoreline segment rather than as an absolute item count.
  • Keep segment boundaries fixed between surveys so that change is measurable.
  • Separate litter from natural wrack and vegetation; mislabelling natural material undermines the dataset.
  • Tide state at capture changes the visible shoreline width and must be recorded.
