Plastic waste at the coastal wetland in Martil beach in the North-East of Morocco is one of the problems that have appeared recently. This study aims to characterize the marine debris in the coast of Martil during the year 2015. The sampling is seasonally by type and size. The result shows, for the macro debris, the abundance of plastic (57%), lumber and paper (21.93%), cloth and fabric (7.8%), glass (5.42%), metal (4.40%), and rubber (3.4%). Micro debris is also present in the area in several forms such as wood, plants, and others by 75,63%. This was followed by the foam (26,95%), line (7,8%), and the film (1,23%). The seasonal variation (S1: January-March and S3: July to September) are the most polluted months of the year. The sources of marine debris are mainly tourism (beach users), land (run off), and commercial fishing in the four seasons of the year.
摩洛哥东北部马蒂尔海滩的沿海湿地存在塑料垃圾问题。本研究旨在描述 2015 年马蒂尔海滩的海洋废弃物特征。根据类型和大小，进行季节性采样。结果表明，在大块废弃物中，塑料（57%）、木材和纸张（21.93%）、布和织物（7.8%）、玻璃（5.42%）、金属（4.40%）和橡胶（3.4%）的含量较高。该地区还存在微塑料，主要形式有木头、植物等，占比为 75.63%。其次是泡沫（26.95%）、绳索（7.8%）和薄膜（1.23%）。污染最严重的月份是 S1（1 月至 3 月）和 S3（7 月至 9 月）。海洋废弃物的来源主要是旅游（海滩使用者）、陆地（径流）和全年的商业捕鱼。
