The abundance, composition and sources of marine litter were determined on beaches located in the seven countries of the Adriatic-Ionian macroregion, namely Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Greece, Italy, Montenegro and Slovenia. A total of 70,581 marine litter items were classified and recorded through one-year long surveys carried out in 31 sites. The average litter density of 0.67 items/m found within this study is considered to be relatively high. The beaches investigated differed in terms of human-induced pressures; their majority is classified either as semi-urban or semi-rural, while very few beaches could be characterized as urban or remote/natural. The majority of litter items were made of artificial/anthropogenic polymer materials accounting for 91.1% of all litter. Litter from shoreline sources accounted for 33.4% of all litter collected. The amount of litter from sea-based sources ranged in the different countries from 1.54% to 14.84%, with an average of 6.30% at regional level.
在亚得里亚海-爱奥尼亚大区域的七个国家（阿尔巴尼亚、波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那、克罗地亚、希腊、意大利、黑山和斯洛文尼亚）的海滩上，确定了海洋垃圾的丰度、组成和来源。通过在 31 个地点进行为期一年的调查，对总共 70581 件海洋垃圾进行了分类和记录。在这项研究中发现的平均 0.67 件/米的垃圾密度被认为是相对较高的。所调查的海滩在人为压力方面存在差异；它们中的大多数被归类为半城市或半农村，而很少有海滩可以被归类为城市或偏远/自然。大多数垃圾是由人工/人为聚合物材料制成，占所有垃圾的 91.1%。从海岸线来源的垃圾占收集到的所有垃圾的 33.4%。来自海基来源的垃圾量在不同国家的范围从 1.54%到 14.84%，在区域层面的平均值为 6.30%。
