Waste and Marine Litter

Waste and litter are a significant issue for natural systems, with impacts on ecosystems, fisheries and human health.

In progress Programme

Addressing Marine Litter - A Systemic Approach

The impacts of marine plastic pollution range from ecological to socioeconomic, and cost the world at least US$8 billion dollars per year.

In progress Marine

Marine litter predictive mapping

This pilot project develops a shoreline map to define coastal areas with different likelihood of accumulating beach litter.
