Stratifying the Shoreline: A Modified OSPAR Framework to Monitor Event-Driven Beach Litter
Summary
Researchers adapted the OSPAR beach litter monitoring framework with stratified spatial sampling to capture the intense, event-driven pollution pulses that occur on urban beaches during large coastal gatherings, improving sensitivity over standard monitoring methods.
Urban beaches are increasingly vulnerable to litter accumulation, especially during large-scale coastal events that create short-lived but intense pollution pulses. Despite growing interest in marine litter monitoring, traditional methods often lack the spatial and temporal sensitivity require...
