1. Limited beach selection in Croatia
• 95% of Croatian coast is rocky
• Mostly short (under 100 m) and pebble beaches
FIELD OBSERVATIONS AND REMARKS:

2. Acumulation of waste on certain positions along the beach
• Mostly in corners (outside the transects) or on certain spots along the beach (which influences the results if only 1m transects are done)
FIELD OBSERVATIONS AND REMARKS:

3. Long term volunteer mobilization is questionable

4. Working with trawlers (marine bottom litter monitoring)
• We are bounded by fishery law – operating only on fishing grounds – litter removed by trawlers on daily basis
