What is the LSSI?

The LSSI is the Land Sea Source Index

The LSSI is an estimate of what percentage of marine debris collected at a site comes from land-based sources versus offshore ocean sources.

This helps you identify if you are dealing with a litter issue at your site or a true marine debris issue. The mitigation strategies will be very different based on the sources of the marine debris you are collecting.
