Abstract
There is currently limited information about
abundance, composition, and distribution of plastic
pollution in the Arctic. In an effort to reduce this
knowledge gap, AMAP has developed a Monitoring
Plan for a coordinated pan-Arctic environmental
monitoring program and an accompanying
comprehensive set of technical Monitoring
Guidelines. Together, these will provide valuable
information and guidance for national and regional
institutions to consider when implementing their
respective plastics monitoring initiatives.
