The framework addresses the difficulties of surveying benthic litter in estuaries, offering recommendations for monitoring these environments. It identifies key strategies to improve the monitoring of benthic litter, and reduce the volume of litter in benthic habitats. The framework builds upon extensive experience within OceanWatch Australia in the management of litter issues in the marine environment, and is aligned with our vision of Australia’s marine environment being healthy, productive, valued, and used in a responsible way.
