The abundance and composition of marine debris including floating marine debris (FMD), seafloor marine debris (SMD) and beached marine debris (BMD) were investigated in coastal seawaters/beaches around the northern South China Sea during 2009 and 2010. The FMD density was 4.947 (0.282-16.891) items/km², with plastics (44.9%) and Styrofoam (23.2%) dominating. More than 99.0% of FMD was small or medium size floating marine debris. The SMD and BMD densities of were 0.693 (0.147-5.000) and 32.82 (2.83-375.00) items/km², respectively. SMD was composed of plastics (47.0%), wood (15.2%), fabric/fiber (13.6%) and glass (12.1%), while BMD was composed of plastics (42.0%) and wood (33.7%). More than 90% of FMD, 75% of SMD and 95% of BMD were not ocean-based sources but land-based sources, mostly attributed to coastal/recreational activity, because of the effect of human activities in the areas.
于 2009 年和 2010 年期间，在南海北部沿岸海域/海滩调查了海洋垃圾（包括漂浮海洋垃圾[FMD]、海底海洋垃圾[SMD]和海滩海洋垃圾[BMD]）的丰度和组成。FMD 的密度为 4.947（0.282-16.891）个/km²，其中塑料（44.9%）和泡沫塑料（23.2%）占主导地位。超过 99.0%的 FMD 为小或中等尺寸的漂浮海洋垃圾。SMD 和 BMD 的密度分别为 0.693（0.147-5.000）和 32.82（2.83-375.00）个/km²。SMD 由塑料（47.0%）、木材（15.2%）、织物/纤维（13.6%）和玻璃（12.1%）组成，而 BMD 由塑料（42.0%）和木材（33.7%）组成。超过 90%的 FMD、75%的 SMD 和 95%的 BMD 不是海洋来源，而是陆地来源，主要归因于人类活动在这些地区的影响，这些垃圾大多来自沿海/娱乐活动。
