A monitoring program was carried out in autumn 2015 along the Mediterranean coast of Morocco, at sites including urban, village and remote/rural beaches. Artificial Polymer Materials (APM) represented 70.64% of all collected items and included plastic (16 categories), foamed plastic (3) and other APM materials (2). Plastic items represented the dominant debris with 5356 items, i.e. 94.53% of all APM debris, foamed plastics presented 191 items (i.e. 3.37%) and other APM summed 119 items, i.e. 2.1% of all APM. Urban areas presented 49.63% of all APM recollected items with cigarette butts representing 32% of total APM items. Village areas presented 40.43% of total APM recollected items with cigarette butts representing 14.1%. Remote and rural beaches recorded 9.94% of total APM items and no cigarette butts were observed. Despite the efforts of local administrations, which introduced litter bins and enforced mechanical and manual cleaning operations, debris were essentially related to beachgoers.
