The study establishes baseline data on tidal litter dynamics at an urban Indian beach and provides a basis for designing more effective litter management strategies.

Study Type Environmental

In above perspective, present study aimed to quantify the different types of litter and Juhu beach, Mumbai. Marine litter especially plastic waste collected and assessed during the months of February 2018. Quantification was done on weight basis, total quantity and the quantities of segregated plastic were recorded by weighing the material.
