IOCCG Task Force on Remote Sensing of Marine Litter and Debris
Core Topic 1: Technologies
The Technologies core topic aims to:
- Define an internationally coordinated roadmap for remote sensing systems to support marine plastic litter detection.
- Assess the capabilities of current remote sensing technologies to detect, quantify, characterise and track marine plastic litter.
- Identify the complementarity/synergy of EO with current and future platforms that could be used for marine plastic detection.
- Identify the experimental/modelling approaches needed to refine requirements for future marine litter missions.
