Trash Talk: What Is Marine Debris?

A net floating in water tangled in plastic. Caption: We call that derelict fishing gear,

Anything people use every day can become marine debris if its is not disposed of properly, and the most common items found during shoreline cleanups are plastics. Sometimes the debris is so tiny that it can barely be seen in the water. Marine debris is more than just trash in the ocean. Part of the "Trash Talk" series.
