Coastal Littering

Greetings,

I am currently working with my colleagues to enact a coastal anti-littering campaign in New Hampshire. We have already received data concerning types and amounts of debris on a local beach, but we are trying to integrate community-based social marketing to achieve better results. As a result, I was hoping that someone might be able to provide information about behaviors of people who litter at the beach and their barriers or motivations. Any information concerning current or successful programs for anti-littering campaigns is also greatly appreciated.

Thanks for any help,
