Abstract
⺠Trends in marine debris can be monitored by plastics in stomachs of seabirds. ⺠In the North Sea 95% of Fulmars has plastic in the stomach (35 particles; 0.31 g). ⺠The policy target is that less than 10% of Fulmars has over 0.1 g of plastic. ⺠Currently 58% of North Sea fulmars exceeds the 0.1 g critical limit. ⺠Over the past 30 years industrial plastics decreased and user plastic increased.
