"An investigation of sailing activities as a possible pathway for marine plastic litter in the southern North-Sea region"^^ . "Over eight million metric tons of plastic end up in the world’s oceans annually, threating ecosystems and leading to environmental degradation. In order to develop strategies that can limit the amount of plastic ending up in the environment and minimizing the consequences for numerous receptors, it is necessary to identify possible sources and pathways. The sailing sport is considered a large industry operating in the southern North-Sea region. Numerous policies and regulatory measures have already been implemented, legally prohibiting plastic and other types of trash entering the marine environment through sailing activities. Responding to the increasing number of new pathways and sources for marine litter, this research investigates to what extent the sailing sport along the coastline of Lower-Saxony Germany contributes to the problem of plastic pollution in the marine environment and how possible points of entry can be managed."^^ .
