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), August 2023, by the MARCO Ocean Data Portal. The 8/2023 update includes the spring 2023 debris numbers for NY, NJ, DE, and MD, and the February 2023 numbers for Virginia. <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>
New York: Jones Beach State Park<br>
New Jersey: Island Beach State Park<br>
Delaware: Kitts Hummock Beach and Delaware Seashore State Park<br>
Maryland: Assateague Island<br>
Virginia: Fisherman Island<br>
<br></br>
The survey lines contain attributes representing total counts by season and year of balloon and other plastic debris. Portal users can click on the line to return the attributes of the survey transect. <br></br>
<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, and explores the issue of balloon litter in the coastal and marine environment, as well as providing an in-depth look at each of the survey locations.
