Abstract
INDICIT project aims to filling the gaps of knowledge necessary for the definition of the indicator “Macro-debris ingested by sea turtles” criteria, through the collection of standardized data at a large scale, with the involvement of a large network of trained stakeholders. INDICIT project objectives are: (i) Refine/create networks of stakeholders able to collect data on the basis of standard protocols; (ii) Interpret the results of the statistical analyses of these standardized data, in order to provide the necessary knowledge to better define the indicator biological criteria and constraints; (iii) Co-decide among biologists, researchers and the representatives of environmental policies one or several GES and its/their scales of application; and (iv) Disseminate the co-built standardized tools for the monitoring of marine litter quantities and impacts.
