Marine litter (ML), encompassing human-made objects in marine ecosystems, poses significant threats to the coasts of some Adriatic islands, despite their remoteness and sparse populations. These reliant on tourism, are particularly vulnerable ML pollution. This study hypothesized that natural features islands influence distribution. It employes an integrated geographic approach combining results field survey (via sea kayaking) with various indicators which include: (1) coastal orientation number density bays, (2) vegetation exposure biomass share, (3) island area (4) bay openness quantity, (5) plastic prevalence ML. Focusing Lošinj, Pašman, Vis, Kornati Elaphiti archipelago, analyzed data collected over six years (2018–2023). Results highlighted NW-SE W-E orientations susceptible accumulation, especially southern Adriatic. Linear Fitting Regression analyses revealed a stronger correlation between polluted bays surface smaller (<10 km2) compared larger (>10 km2). The following findings underscore need for international collaboration stringent policies mitigate pollution, ensuring protection ecosystems sustainability local communities.
