The data are withheld from general circulation and disclosure but access may be obtained on a case-by-case basis through negotiation Description
The data were collected by volunteers during the so-called 'Lenteprikkel' at the Belgian coast, where people collect debris every spring, and the 'fishing for litter'-action where fishing vessels collect waste during their fishing-activities, and take them to shore; and by scientists who did monitoring campaigns at sea to collect or observe the waste in sea and at the coastline. There will also be new monitoring campaigns done by the University of Ghent. Scope Themes: Bottom samples (e.g. core, dredge, grab), Coastal studies (e.g. shores, estuaries), Environmental quality/pollution > Pollution levels & monitoring Keywords: Marine/Coastal, Assessment, Indicators, ANE, Belgium, Belgian Coast, ANE, Belgium, Belgian Continental Shelf (BCS) Geographical coverage ANE, Belgium, Belgian Coast [Marine Regions] ANE, Belgium, Belgian Continental Shelf (BCS) [Marine Regions] Contributors
