Now we have AUSMAP – the Australian Microplastic Assessment Project.\nAUSMAP is a global first, nationwide citizen science that engages and educates the community to collect scientifically reliable data on microplastics from shorelines across the country – from coasts to catchments – to identify litter hotspots and assist in source reduction.\nAUSMAP is a powerful management tool that forms the basis to develop & implement regional litter prevention strategies for stakeholders to use, & act on.\nWe need to know how much is out there before we figure outwhat to do with it. And we need large numbers of Australians to engage with behaviour change so we can stopany more plastic from entering our waterways and design effective mitigation strategies.\nThat’s why we need you in our AUSMAP collaborative citizen science project!\n
