These days, marine litter is a fundamental, all-encompassing issue brought on by human activity, whether deliberate or not. Bangladesh's marine litter has been the subject of very little research. In the South Asian Seas (Region), the Department of Environment has been tasked with preparing a Country Report on Marine Litter in Bangladesh as part of the South Asia Co-operative Environment Programme . The University of Dhaka surveyed Bangladesh's coastal region to prepare the country report. The extent and severity of marine litter and plastic pollution at Bangladesh's Cox's Bazar Sea Beach are examined in this article, along with the laws and policies the Bangladesh Government has implemented to address the growing threat posed by marine litter.
