Ultimately, to evaluate \nany campaign, or initiative, or policy, we need to see a change in the \namount of debris washing ashore or a decrease in the number of \nparticular items, such as plastic bags, in the marine environment or \nGreat Lakes.\n\nThis change can be tricky to detect, given that we need a baseline \nunderstanding of how much and what types of debris are out there in the \nfirst place. Determining a baseline is not as simple as going to the \nbeach once or twice and looking for trash \u2013 it requires going back to \nthe same spot over time and recording data in the exact same way. We \nalso need to know how environmental factors, such as winds and coastal \ncurrents, impact the way debris moves and builds up on certain shorelines.\n\nTo gather this kind of information, the NOAA Marine Debris Program (MDP) \ndeveloped standard techniques for assessing debris on shorelines, on \nwater surfaces, at-sea, and in benthic environments, and the guidelines \nare now available for the public\u2019s use. They were developed over several \nyears, based on literature reviews, discussions with experts, and field \ntesting by the MDP and contractors.\n\n<a href=\"http:\/\/marinedebris.noaa.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/Lippiatt%20et%20al%202013.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/marinedebris.noaa.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/Lippiatt%20et%20al%202013.pdf<\/a><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; http:\/\/marinedebrisblog.wordpress.com\/2014\/01\/09\/monitoring-and-assessment-using-standard-techniques-to-measure-our-progress\/ Monitoring and Assessment: using standard techniques to measure our progress January 9, 2014 by NOAA Marine Debris Program By: Sherry Lippiatt How do scientists and policy makers figure out if efforts to prevent trash from becoming marine debris are working?
