Human litter in marine habitats

Human litter can be found in all marine habitats, from beaches to the most remote points in the oceans. Shown are some of the litter items from the survey, including a cargo net entangled in a cold-water coral colony at 950 m depth, and a Heineken beer can in a canyon also at 950 m.
