We are trying to detect marine plastic debris using satellites. To be able to test out our method, we need your help spotting clumps or accumulations of floating plastic litter. This short form is to document your sightings of accumulation of floating marine litter in the coast and at sea, to help us validate what the satellites can observe, to help monitoring the floating marine litter.

Please fill in this very short form (2 pages, 10 Questions in total) for EACH patch (a floating amalgam, not individual items!!) of floating plastic or debris that you want to report. This is a completely voluntary contribution, and you can stop filling the questionnaire at any time. Only when you hit "submit" at the end, your responses will be recorded.

Please do not submit any personal information to this form. No personal information is collected automatically.

Many thanks for your help!!
