Key Points

The aim is to assess the categories, amount, and sources of beach litter on the Georgian Black Sea coast.
Conducted monitoring across six beach sections based on a strategic selection.
Measured waste composition and cleanliness using the Clean Coast Index (CCI).
Considered local waste management activities during data collection.
Plastic waste constituted 73% to 98% of total beach litter, averaging 90.5%.
Non-plastic waste accounted for 9.75%, with metal waste averaging 3.4%.
Study results were based on marine litter research conducted from 2015 under various scientific projects.
