2012 Bulletin on Coastal Oceanography  
A brief description of previous research projects with respect to beach-litter issues is given in this review. In addition, we introduce our research project, which establishes a beach-litter monitoring system using webcams, and which develops an inverse method to identify litter sources. Also proposed in this review is an effective beach-litter clearance procedure, and possible contributions of oceanographers on the beach-litter issue.
