Marine litter is anthropogenic waste that has been released in water bodies or on land. Beach litter can become part of marine litter and vice versa due to water, wind and wave action.

Analysis of the records on stranding of marine mammals during the 216 year period from 1800 to 2016 indicated that 25 species consisting of 5 baleen whales, 4 toothed whales, 14 dolphins and one each of finless porpoise and sea cow were reported as stranded along the Indian coast. The number of stranding records was only 21nos, (0.2 per year or one stranding in every 5 year) during the period 1800 to 1889 while it increased to 243 (2.4 nos per year) in the succeeding century and during the 16 years since 2000, 115 (7.2 per year) stranding have been reported. This alarmingly high rate is a matter of concern and has to be prevented or reduced at the earliest. Among the five groups highest stranding was among dolphins (39%) followed by baleen whales (23%), sea cow (22%), toothed whales (11%) and finless porpoise (5%). The stranding of baleen whales was recorded in all the m...

It is reported that the unintentional capture of turtles in shrimp trawls is the most important factor leading to the mortality of sea turtles. Globally, several conservation measures are in place for conserving populations of the iconic sea turtles. This includes India where several identified turtle nesting sites are protected through appropriate restrictions on fishing and other anthropogenic activities. The history of conservation of sea turtles in India and recent linking use of Turtle Excluder Device (TED) in shrimp trawls to shrimp imports by the USA, is discussed.
