Marine debris is a waste generated by humans. It is a large drifting object floating in lakes, oceans or waterways, intentionally or unintentionally. Floating marine debris often accumulates in the center of the cyclone and on the coastline. Beach trash or wet beaches accumulate on the beach and are known as beach trash.

This problem has become more and more serious as humans have recently used plastics extensively. Because many types of plastics do not decompose, they pose a serious threat to fish, seabirds and marine animals, and international laws and policies have been adopted in efforts to prevent marine debris. Depending on the relevance of the issue, some countries have developed more specific protection policies.
