  <dc:description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">This dataset contains 2 csv files. The file Belize Marine Litter Data.csv 
contains data on litter found on marine beaches, river banks and along city 
canals in Belize between May and June 2019. The number of items and the weight 
in kg is reported for each litter category. The list of litter categories was 
obtain merging OSPAR and Tangaroa Blue protocols with the addition of 
region-specific items. Item categories marked with ^ were added during the 
operations in South Pacific, while item categories marked with ^^ were added 
during the operations in Belize. An array of metadata (location names, survey 
date, GPS coordinates in decimal degrees) is also reported per each data 
point.

The file Belize Marine Litter Metadata.csv reports other metadata collected 
during the surveys following the OSPAR protocol to describe factors 
potentially influencing litter characteristics. A READ-ME text file contains a 
legend of the columns of the csv files.</dc:description>
