How Much is Too Much? The Development of a Microplastic Pollution Significance Threshold for the Port Phillip Bay
PubblicoContenuto scaricabile
open in viewerThe goal of this project was to help the Port Phillip EcoCentre design a microplastic pollution threshold model for Port Phillip Bay, contributing to the emerging effort to fight microplastic pollution. We developed a system with three main aspects: sampling and measurement, species sensitivity, and enforcement. Additionally, we created collateral on sampling and enforcement for educating those who can make change, as well as a flow chart to help waterkeepers identify levers for change in their communities. Finally, we devised a poster to help raise awareness of microplastic pollution in both the general population and the angling community. The design of a significance threshold system will be a crucial step in helping to protect Port Phillip Bay.
