Özet

Marine litter is one of the most important pollution problems of today. It has been observed in all marine ecosystems and has a big pressure on marine coastal environment. The Black Sea is one of the most important European seas and gets its share from this pollution. Sinop, located right at the middle of the southern Black Sea coast, is a settlement with prominent fishing and tourism and no industrial pollution. The most important components of marine pollution in the city are domestic solid wastes, urban sewage systems and fishing and shipping activities. In addition to these components, physical factors such as currents, waves and winds cause pollution pressure in the region. In this research, pollution pressure from marine litter has been focused on Sinop, which is a small city with a relatively low population and pollutant load.
