	<span lang="EN-US">In this study, 28 trawl operations were
carried out from four different bays (Gulf of Kusadasi, Gulf of G¨ıll¨ık, Gulf of
Gokova and Marmaris) in eastern Aegean Sea between December 2008 and March
2011. Sampled litters were separated by materials: glass, plastic, metal,
wooden and others. Totally, as percentage, plastic material comprises the
biggest group (48%) and it is followed by metal (25%), glass (12%), others
(12%) and wooden (3%). Also regional litter densities were calculated for
regions as 1692.0 item/km<sup>2 </sup>for Marmaris, 796.0 item/km<sup>2</sup> for
Gulf of G¨ıll¨ık, 175.0 item/km<sup>2</sup> for Gulf of Kusadasi, and 58.0
item/km<sup>2</sup> for Gulf of Gokova.</span>
