Anthropogenic pollution of marine ecosystems caused by beach debris has become a serious environmental concern in the last few decades. Regarding the raising production of beach debris, the present work aimed to summarize the quantity and quality of beach debris reported from different beach areas of the world. Also, a bibliometric analysis was used to analyze research trends and upgrade knowledge in this research area. Using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA), the eligible papers reviewed regarding beach debris abundance along with their composition from 2010, which were extracted from the Scopus database. The results of the study showed that plastic items represented the dominant material (61.25%), followed by food (5.88%), wood (5.78%), metals (5.2%), and glass (5%). Further, the beaches studied were classified into three degrees, including highly polluted (31.5 items/m), moderate polluted (3.47 items/m), and low polluted (0.37 items/m), based on the average abundance of debris.
在过去几十年里，海滩垃圾造成的海洋生态系统人为污染已成为一个严重的环境问题。鉴于海滩垃圾产量不断增加，本研究旨在总结世界各地不同海滩区域报告的海滩垃圾数量和质量。此外，还采用文献计量分析来分析该研究领域的研究趋势并更新知识。使用系统评价和Meta分析的首选报告项目（PRISMA），对2010年以来从Scopus数据库中提取的关于海滩垃圾丰度及其组成的符合条件的论文进行了综述。研究结果表明，塑料物品是主要物质（61.25%），其次是食品（5.88%）、木材（5.78%）、金属（5.2%）和玻璃（5%）。此外，根据垃圾的平均丰度，所研究的海滩分为三个污染程度等级，包括高度污染（31.5件/米）、中度污染（3.47件/米）和低度污染（0.37件/米）。
