Marine litter predictive mapping
This pilot project develops a shoreline map to define coastal areas with different likelihood of accumulating beach litter.
Marine litter and plastic pollution are global issues that affect the whole world. The challenges therefore need to be solved through international cooperation and global action.
GRID-Arendal supports the development of new global solutions to combat marine litter. Through policy briefs, capacity building and awareness raising we inform policy-makers and motivate them to act. We work closely together with the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), governments and organizations to support actions towards the long-term elimination of plastic into the environment.
