Land-based litter accumulates on coastlines and in the ocean
#00080
Litter from streets, rivers and beaches concentrates along coastlines and in the sea — the ultimate sink for land-based debris. Once there it is dispersed, hard to recover, and lethal to marine wildlife through entanglement and ingestion.
#00095Organised coastal cleanups with standardized item-level data logging
Run recurring beach and waterway cleanups where volunteers log every item by type on a standardized card or app, building a comparable marine-debris database that identifies hotspots and supplies evidence for upstream policy (bans, deposits, producer responsibility).
