debris issue was a part of the larger solid waste management problem and that lessons learned from dealing with solid waste should be incorporated into marine debris education programs. The many recommendations arising from the SICMD included recognition of the marine debris problem as a symptom of the worldwide waste disposal crisis; expansion of marine debris and solid waste disposal education to people and institutions worldwide; development of a set of standard methods for marine debris surveys; and evaluation of economic impacts of marine debris. 2 Having identified and described the problem at the first two Conferences, in late 1992 the MERP began making plans for the Third International Conference. on Marine Debris (TICMD), with the focus on solution of the problem. Miami, Florida, was selected as the site because of its ease of accessibility. The Conference would synthesize all information relevant to the four main sources of marine debris and use that information and the expertise of the participants to develop practical framework plans for controlling marine debris worldwide& To achieve these goals, the Steering Committee organized the Conference into six, non-concurrent plenary sessions addressing the following topics: 1) Amounts, Types and Distribution of Marine Debris; 2) Impacts of Marine Debris; 3) Sources of Marine Debris: Vessels; 4) Sources of Marine Debris: Recreational Use; 5) Sources of Marine Debris: Coastal Urban Discharges; and 6) Sources of Marine Debris: Rural Coastal and Upland Discharges. Each plenary session included a poster session and a Working Group to synthesize the information and produce Working Group reports and framework plans for controlling marine debris. Because of the Conference's format, opportunities for presenting plenary papers were necessarily limited; The Steering Committee decided that organization and facilities should be such that large numbers of poster presentationscould be accommodated and that poster abstracts and manuscripts should be incorporated into a volume of the proceedings independent of the plenary papers. The following poster abstracts and manuscripts are reproduced as presented at posters at the Conference (with minor editing) and do not reflect the policies or position of the NOAA/NMFS.
