This study aims to characterize the benthic ML on NW Mediterranean fishing grounds and examine the relationship between land-based sources and the ML spatial distribution. Marine litter was collected onboard commercial bottom trawlers operating along the Catalan margin. Plastic was the most abundant fraction of litter, accounting for up to 63% of the total weight. The key factors influencing the spatial distribution of ML included sampling area, proximity to river mouths, and distance to submarine outfalls. The influence of the fishing effort on the spatial distribution of ML was also analyzed, but no significant correlation was identified. Higher ML concentrations were found in front of Barcelona (up to 201.94 kg km2), while lower amounts were observed in northern and southern boundaries of the study area. The results emphasize the need for better land waste management strategies to reduce litter accumulation in fishing groundsThis work was developed within the Catalan Institute for Ocean Governance Research (ICATMAR). The trawl surveys were financed by European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF) and the Catalan General Directorate of Marine Policy and Sustainable Fisheries by projects PESCAT (ARP029/18/00003) and CGCAT (ARP140/20/000006)With the institutional support of the ‘Severo Ochoa Centre of Excellence’ accreditation (CEX2019-000928-S)Peer reviewedElsevierInstitut Català de Recerca per a la Governança del MarEuropean Maritime and Fisheries FundGeneralitat de CatalunyaAgencia Estatal de Investigación (España)Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas [https://ror.org/02gfc7t72]202520252025info:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501Publisher's versioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionhttp://hdl.handle.net/10261/398190reponame:DIGITAL.CSIC.
