CSIRO Marine Debris Research Program
Approach
12+ years of work; 65+ pubs/reportswww.csiro.au/marine-debris
Engagement• 8,000+ citizen scientists from Schools, Educators, Volunteers and Industry Leaders• Content for schools, linked to national curriculum• Engagement w/ government and industry on effective, affordable solutions

Designing a program
• Goals – what are you trying to achieve? What do you want to know?• Will your program (method) get you the intended outcomes?
• Limits – what can’t you do with the approach you’re taking?
• Know your biases – account for them
What method to use?

What drives debris loads?Urbanization
• Distance to public transport, nearest road• Regional and local population• Regional and local road density by type
Land use• Reserves, Agriculture, Housing, Water, etc.
Socio-economics• Economic advantage/disadvantage• Education and employment levels• Economic resources
Site type

Global Plastics Leakage Project
Objectives1. Validate estimates of pollution2. Identify hotspots for loss3. Investigate drivers4. Global baseline (+national/regional)5. Measure successes/change

Capacity building: field and analysis training
Sampling to estimate:1. Load of solid waste on land as a source2. Volume lost to the ocean3. Leakage points
Developing models for:1. Predicting sources2. Pollution plume
Springboard for policy evaluation, a global baseline, and national monitoring

3 Main Questions
1) What is the relationship between debris in the marine environment and debris from nearby sites?
2) Are there identifiable sources and pathways through which debris reaches and moves to the coast?
1) What investments in facilities, policies, outreach, etc. will help reduce waste in the environment?
