This study focused on Tunisia and Germany, identifying key indicators through field monitoring and analysis. In Tunisia, beach litter was mostly plastic (54–70%), mainly from tourism. A benchmark with Germany highlighted management gaps. Biodegradability tests showed palm leaf, sugar cane, and paper degrade faster than PLA, CPLA, and PS. Results stress the need for data-driven strategies to reduce coastal pollution effectively. %L 500 %9 theses %9 Text %9 Hochschulschrift %R 10.18453/rosdok_id00005265 %U https://purl.uni-rostock.de/rosdok/id00005265 %U https://doi.org/10.18453/rosdok_id00005265
