Zusammenfassung englisch
There have been numerous anthropogenic-driven changes to our planet in the last half-century. One of the most evident changes is theubiquity and abundance of litter in the marine environment. The EU Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD, 2008/56/EC) establishesa framework within which EU Member States shall take action to achieve or maintain good environmental status (GES) of theirmarine waters by 2020. GES is based on 11 qualitative descriptors as listed in Annex I of the MSFD. Descriptor 10 (D 10) concernsmarine litter. As a follow-up to the related Commission Decision on criteria and methodological standards (2010/477/EU) in which 56indicators for the achievement of GES are proposed, the EC Directorate-General for the Environment, on the request of the EuropeanMarine Directors, established a Technical Subgroup on Marine Litter (TSG ML) under the Working Group on GES. The role of TSG MLis to support Member States through providing scientific and technical background for the implementation of MSFD requirementswith regard to D 10. Started in 2011, TSG ML provides technical recommendations for the implementation of the MSFD requirementsfor marine litter. It summarizes the available information on monitoring approaches and considers how GES and environmental targetscould be defined with the aim of preventing further inputs of litter to, and reducing its total amount in, the marine environment. Italso identifies research needs, priorities and strategies in support of the implementation of D 10. The work of TSG ML also focuses onthe specification of monitoring methods through the development of monitoring protocols for litter in the different marine compartments,and for microplastics and litter in biota. Further consideration is being given to monitoring strategies in general and associatedcosts. Other priorities include the identification of sources of marine litter and a better understanding of the harm caused by marine litter.
