About
Cefas awarded a contract to ABP Marine Environmental Research for a literature review and analysis of available information to understand the impact of marine plastic on Marine Protected Area (MPA) habitats and features.
The review focused on the English and Welsh inshore and offshore MPA network, examining the effects of macro and micro litter, and where direct evidence was lacking, considered proxy species and habitats to assess applicability.
The work identified gaps in evidence to guide further investigation.
The contract value was £34,000.
