Finding time-efficient and cost-effective data collection methods is a challenge when addressing aquatic litter pollution on a global scale. In this study, we analysed data on aquatic benthic debris collected worldwide by volunteer scuba divers through the Dive Against Debris® citizen science initiative, examining its relationship with spatial and socio-economic factors. Plastic-dominated litter was found in both marine (64 %) and freshwater (48 %) environments, followed by metal and glass. Lower litter abundances have been recorded in high income countries such as in Europe, Central Asia and North America. Plastic fragments and fishing lines were the most abundant seafloor litter items, while takeaway containers (aluminium cans, glass bottles) were dominant in freshwater environments. Single-use plastics, including objects for food and beverage consumption, accounted for about 1/3 of the total benthic aquatic debris. Our findings highlight the need to prioritise the fishing industry and change our fast-paced modern lifestyle. Citizen science initiatives, once data cleanup is conducted to overcome any bias, can provide valuable tools for better understanding and quantifying marine litter pollution. The outcomes gained can be leveraged to improve consumer awareness and inform environmental policies aimed at addressing aquatic litter pollution more effectively.

合成聚合物：对水生底栖环境的全球威胁
在全球范围内解决水生垃圾污染问题时，寻找省时且经济高效的数据收集方法是一项挑战。在这项研究中，我们分析了志愿潜水员通过 Dive Against Debris® 公民科学计划在全球范围内收集的水生底栖碎片的数据，研究了其与空间和社会经济因素的关系。在海洋（64％）和淡水（48％）环境中都发现了以塑料为主的垃圾，其次是金属和玻璃。欧洲、中亚和北美等高收入国家的垃圾丰度较低。塑料碎片和鱼线是最丰富的海底垃圾，而外卖容器（铝罐、玻璃瓶）在淡水环境中占主导地位。一次性塑料，包括用于食品和饮料消费的物品，约占底栖水生垃圾总量的 1/3。我们的研究结果强调需要优先考虑渔业并改变我们快节奏的现代生活方式。一旦进行数据清理以克服任何偏见，公民科学举措就可以为更好地理解和量化海洋垃圾污染提供有价值的工具。所获得的成果可用于提高消费者意识，并为旨在更有效地解决水生垃圾污染的环境政策提供信息。
