English term

marine litter

GBK English to Czech Science Environment & Ecology
Definition from TermCoord:
According to the European Commission, more than 80% of marine litter is plastics. Together they constitute 70% of all marine litter items. Due to its slow decomposition, plastic accumulates in seas, oceans and on beaches in the EU and worldwide. Plastic residue is found in marine species – such as sea turtles, seals, whales and birds, but also in fish and shellfish, and therefore in the human food chain.
Example sentences:
Marine litter presents a huge problem in our oceans, with some scientists warning that, by 2050, the quantity of plastics in the oceans will outweigh fish. (International Maritime Organization)
During the discussion it became clear that a mix of measures needs to be established on different levels in order to successfully reduce marine litter. For this, a stronger horizontal coordination between the different policy fields and administrative departments relevant for the sources and management of marine litter is indispensable. (Ecologic)
Within marine litter, plastics typically constitute the dominant pollutant item and sometimes can account for up to 100% of marine litter pollution in a specific area (Galgani, Hanke, and Maes, 2015; Williams and Simmons, 1997; Worm et al., 2017). (BioOne)

mořský odpad

Definition from own experience or research:
Odpadky, nepořádek a binec, který si v oceánu úmyslně zapomnělo prase jménem člověk (praseti se omlouvám), případně ho tam těm prasatům pomohly odnést za nic nemohoucí větry, deště nebo řeky.
Example sentences:
