这项研究测量了巴哈马群岛南埃留瑟拉海滩上搁浅的海洋垃圾的空间分布。采用公民科学、获取模型、相对暴露指数和预测制图等方法确定海洋垃圾来源和丰度。公民科学家量化了南埃留瑟拉三个海岸暴露区域(大西洋、大巴哈马海岸和埃克苏马湾)内16个海滩上的碎片类型和丰度。2013年3月至5月至11月期间，在同一地点使用全球定位系统对每个海滩上的海洋垃圾(类似于2.5厘米或更大)进行了两次监测。大约93%的碎片是塑料碎片(
This study measured spatial distribution of marine debris stranded on beaches in South Eleuthera, The Bahamas. Citizen science, fetch modeling, relative exposure index and predictive mapping were used to determine marine debris source and abundance. Citizen scientists quantified debris type and abundance on 16 beaches within three coastal exposures (The Atlantic Ocean, Great Bahama Bank and The Exuma Sound) in South Eleuthera. Marine debris, (similar to 2.5 cm or larger) on each beach was monitored twice between March May and September November 2013 at the same locations using GPS. Approximately, 93% of all debris items were plastic with plastic fragments (
