Plastic waste in rivers and seas: how good management can mitigate pollution
Most of the waste found in the marine environment derives from a land-based origin that is transported towards coastal-marine ecosystems through rivers and canals. By managing the interception of waste in waterways as they pass through urban areas, plastic pollution along coastal and marine waterways can be greatly mitigated.
