it is difficult to avoid the generation of this kind of debris.

Explanation:

Land - based marine debris comes from activities on land near shorelines. Common trash from shoreline and recreational activities like beach - going, picnics etc., and litter washed down storm drains are examples. Waste from commercial cruise ships is sea - based debris. Land - based debris is not necessarily 30% of marine debris and it's not always difficult to avoid generation.

Answer:

It includes common trash, debris, and litter generated during shoreline and recreational activities such as beach going, picnics, sports, games, festivals, and litter washed down storm drains.
