The ingestion of plastic debris has been reported in all seven marine turtle species, affecting vital processes throughout their entire life cycle and key habitats. Consequently, this emerging threat recognized as a priority conservation concern. potential health impacts range from cryptic sublethal effects to severe injury death. A comprehensive understanding these the involved, at both individual population levels, is crucial for evaluating vulnerability turtles pollution. Aiming guide researchers stakeholders initial stages project development, study discusses essential components establishing achieving research on turtles. Drawing diverse efforts globally, manuscript compiles most common approaches established methodologies, while resource availability capabilities, outline globally applicable best practice framework designing implementing monitoring initiatives
