AB Sustained observations are required to determine the marine plastic debris mass balanceand to support effective policy for planning remedial action. However, observations currently remainscarce at the global scale. A satellite remote sensing system could make a substantial contributionto tackling this problem. Here, we make initial steps towards the potential design of such a remotesensing system by: (1) identifying the properties of marine plastic debris amenable to remote sensingmethods and (2) highlighting the oceanic processes relevant to scientific questions about marineplastic debris. Remote sensing approaches are reviewed and matched to the optical properties ofmarine plastic debris and the relevant spatio-temporal scales of observation to identify challengesand opportunities in the field. Finally, steps needed to develop marine plastic debris detection byremote sensing platforms are proposed in terms of fundamental science as well as linkages to ongoingplanning for satellite systems with similar observation requirements.
