Working Group 42 on Indicators of Marine Plastic Pollution

Review results show that the North Pacific is the most polluted ocean, but existing data are still limited to allow for analyzing the spatial trends and pollution trend in the region. [...] Jennifer Lynch filled in on the progress of the paper. [...] The first draft of the paper has been sent to all the co-authors for review. [...] We discussed the FO (frequency of occurrence) data presented in the slides and also the rubric number assignment. [...] After all the papers are in, we will ask the journal to bundle all the papers together in a virtual special issue and an announcement will be posted on the journal’s website.
