Beaches in the Gulf of Alaska were monitored in 1994 for trends in abundance, deposition rate, and sources of entanglement debris (trawl web, rope, monofilament gill net, and packing straps) and other plastics that had washed ashore. This study was a continuation of Alaska beach surveys conducted periodically since 1972.
