Expert elicitation synthesizes opinions of experts while\nassessing uncertainty around those views. Your professional judgment,\nalong with your colleagues around the world, will be captured using the\nsurvey instrument and data will be analyzed to determine the relative\nthreat posed by the most persistent forms of debris on beaches and in\nthe marine environment. A manuscript will be composed from the findings\nof this research and submitted for publication.\n\nThe following questions are designed to capture information on your\nexpert judgment regarding the threat of specific ocean trash items\nacross marine taxa. Based on your professional experience and judgement,\nthe focus is on what threats and impacts you conclude are occurring, and\nthe severity and specificity of those impacts.
