Scotland has a long coastline, as Quintin Lake would probably tell you.
Much of this is not very accessible, so there has been an effort made to map the coast, and in particular to explore the litter that is washing up on some remote coastlines and beaches, to assess the extent of the problem. I remember at least 25 years ago, visiting Skye, and finding plenty of gear, fish crates and other plastics on beaches.
The mapping project has involved flights and photographs being taken. See this BBC article for mapping and photographs....
The resulting Scrapbook project has created an interactive map of litter hotspots which can be explored.
