I. Abstract
This request is for extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
This data collection project will be
coordinated by the NOAA Marine
Debris Program, and involve
recreational and commercial vessels
(respondents), shipboard observers
(respondents), NGOs (respondents) as
well as numerous experts on marine
debris observations at sea. The
Shipboard Observation Form for
Floating Marine Debris was created
based on methods used in studies of
floating marine debris by established
researchers, previous shipboard
observational studies conducted at sea
by NOAA, and the experience and input
of recreational sailors. The goal of this
form is to be able to calculate the
density of marine debris within an area
of a known size. Additionally, this form
will help collect data on potential
marine debris resulting from future
severe marine debris generating events
in order to better model movement of
the debris as well as prepare (as needed)
for debris arrival. This form may
additionally be used to collect data on
floating marine debris in any water
body.
II. Method of Collection
Respondents have a choice of either
electronic or paper forms. Methods of
submittal include email of electronic
forms, and mail and facsimile
transmission of paper forms.
