Abstract
The ever-increasing amount of marine debris in the Southern Ocean gives cause for concern, but the subject is little studied. I surveyed beaches on Tristan da Cunha, Inaccessible, Gough, and the Prince Edward Islands, in the African sector of the Southern Ocean, for stranded artefacts during 1984. The types of debris, their origin, and probable fate, were recorded and are reported in this paper.
