The map shows the spatial distribution of Floating Macrolitter Loading from Europe into the ocean based on mean-based modelled estimates calculated using the RIMMEL database. The coloured dots represent litter loading predicted on the basis of the Mamanaged Waste in each individual drainage basin, including permanent rivers, non-permanent rivers and streams.
