Abstract
Marine debris is defined by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) as any persistent, manufactured or processed solid material discarded, disposed or abandoned in the marine and coastal environment (Butterworth et al., 2012). There are many types or categories of marine debris such as plastic, rubber, metal, glass, timber (Ribic et al., 1992) and plastics are the most common marine debris worldwide. The sources of marine debris can be either from land-based, ocean-based and common sources (Sheavly, 2005). About 80% of marine debris is washed off from land, blown by winds, or deliberately discarded from shore whereas approximately 20% originated from vessels and offshore platforms (Potts & Hastings, 2011; Mobilik & Hassan, 2015).
