海洋环境指标的作用是明确的;选择指标来为管理提供信息和制定公认的框架，则证明更加难以实现。负责东北大西洋环境保护的奥斯巴委员会自1998年以来一直采用生态系统方法，试行一套生态质量目标，作为北海生态系统健康的指标。本文提出了一个生物多样性监测和评估框架，并讨论了与海洋垃圾指标有关的具体问题，这些指标是框架矩阵中的一个单元。在不久的将来，欧洲海洋立法将推动制定该地区的环境指标，进一步统一指标集应能提高其效用。
The role of marine environmental indicators is clear; selecting indicators to inform management and for the development of accepted frameworks is proving more elusive. The OSPAR Commission, charged with the environmental protection of the Northeast Atlantic, has been applying an ecosystem approach since 1998, applying on a trial basis a system of ecological quality objectives as indicators of ecosystem health for the North Sea. This paper presents a framework for biodiversity monitoring and assessment, and discusses specific issues associated with marine-litter indicators, representing a cell within the matrix of the framework. In the immediate future, European marine legislation will drive the development of environmental indicators in the area, and further harmonization of indicator sets should enhance their utility.
