Marine litter is one descriptor in the EU Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD). This study provides the first account of an MSFD indicator (Trends in the amount of litter deposited on coastlines) for the north-western Adriatic. Five beaches were sampled in 2015. Plastic dominated in terms of abundance, followed by paper and other groups. The average density was 0.2 litter items m(-2), but at one beach it raised to 0.57 items m(-2). The major categories were cigarette butts, unrecognizable plastic pieces, bottle caps, and others. The majority of marine litter came from land-based sources: shoreline and recreational activities, smoke-related activities and dumping. Sea-based sources contributed for less. The abundance and distribution of litter seemed to be particularly influenced by beach users, reflecting inadequate disposal practices. The solution to these problems involves implementation and enforcement of local educational and management policies.
海洋垃圾是欧盟海洋战略框架指令（MSFD）中的一个描述指标。本研究首次给出了亚得里亚海西北部MSFD指标（海岸线上垃圾沉积量的趋势）的相关情况。2015年对五个海滩进行了采样。就数量而言，塑料占主导地位，其次是纸张和其他类别。平均密度为0.2件垃圾/平方米，但在一个海滩上该密度升至0.57件/平方米。主要类别有烟头、无法辨认的塑料碎片、瓶盖等。大多数海洋垃圾来自陆地源：海岸线和娱乐活动、与吸烟相关的活动以及倾倒。海洋源的贡献较小。垃圾的数量和分布似乎特别受海滩使用者的影响，这反映出处置方式不当。解决这些问题需要实施和执行地方教育及管理政策。
