A rough clip showing the process of collecting beach stranded marine debris on the rough shores of sub Antarctic Macquarie Island. Macquarie island is an island with lots of marine life that has been impacted by marine debris. All of the animals that are living on Macquarie island are finding it very hard to live around all this disgusting and disgraceful amount of rubbish that is not only destroying them but destroying their environment that they have to live in!
Full description
Marine debris records from beaches on Heard and Macquarie Islands and floating debris spotted on voyages.Data were collected by observers surveying beaches either methodically or opportunistically, and by observers spotting debris as it floated past ships.
The data were originally collated into a searchable database, but the application is no longer supported by the Australian Antarctic Data Centre. An extract of the data is attached to this metadata record. The extract is in Excel format, and each worksheet is a copy of a database table.
