Description

Working regionally with Malaysian and Thai partners, this project will build capacity, generate knowledge, and test innovative solutions under three interlinked, interdisciplinary themes: 1. Modification and transformation of plastics in the environment, 2. Hazard, risk, and impacts, 3. Intervention, mitigation, and adaptation. This project will deliver new knowledge of the flow and life cycle of plastic waste within the Southeast Asian region, the levels of plastic pollution currently pervading this region, and the risk that macro- and microplastic pollution poses to SE Asian coastal ecosystems and wildlife, ecosystem functions, and the livelihoods they support. Trialling of interventions, mitigation, and adaptation approaches will be of benefit to public policy, conservation, materials engineering, business, fisheries, environmental education, and economics.
