AMDI Data Collection
Education
Free
The Australian Marine Debris Initiative® Database enables citizen scientists and organisations who are running clean-up events to collect data on what they are finding with a consistent methodology so it can be collated into a standardised national database on marine debris and litter.
The AMDI® Database provides a comprehensive overview of what amounts and types of debris are impacting coastlines and estuaries around the country, and is the most comprehensive marine debris database in the southern hemisphere.
