Deep Dive is a system for beach litter analysis and data collection in the Arctic. To solve the problem of beach litter, decisionmakers need to understand the sources and causes of litter. Most beach litter monitoring protocols do not provide this information., and the Deep Dive method is designed to fill this gap.

DEEP DIVE

The Deep Dive method enables a better understanding of where beach litter comes from and why it ends up on shorelines – knowledge that can be used to improve practices and policies and ultimately help clean up our seas. This free platform is designed for researchers, university students, and others interested in conducting beach litter research in the Arctic.
