Mid-Atlantic Balloon and Other Debris Beach Monitoring Surveys: NY, NJ, DE, MD, VA; Source: Virginia Coastal Zone Management Program and other state contributors. Originally published in June-July 2021 and revised (this version), January 2023, by the MARCO Ocean Data Portal.
<br></br>
This data layer represents beach monitoring survey locations of balloon and other plastic litter on remote beaches in the Mid-Atlantic. Surveys were initiated in each of the five MARCO states in 2016 along beach transects in the following locations:
<br></br>
Virginia: Fisherman Island Maryland: Assateague Island Delaware: Kitts Hummock Beach and Delaware Seashore State Park New Jersey: Island Beach State Park New York: Jones Beach State Park
<br></br>
Note this layer represents the VA, MD, DE, NJ, and NY survey locations and contains attributes representing total counts by season and year of balloon and other plastic debris. Portal users can click on the lines to return the attributes of the survey transects. More Information: Story Map
<br></br>
A scrollable 'story map' was created by the Virginia Coastal Zone Management Program in cooperation with the participating states in support of the monitoring surveys in the Mid-Atlantic. The story map explores the issue of balloon litter in the coastal and marine environment, as well as provides information about each of the survey locations.
