Reducing litter in Sydney Harbour

New technologies will be installed across Sydney Harbour under a pilot to prevent plastic pollution ending up in our oceans.

We analysed data from 29,798 clean-ups around the world to uncover some of the worst litter hotspots

Litter hotspots were associated with socioeconomic factors such as a concentration of built infrastructure, less national wealth and the level of lighting at night.

Diving deep into the shallow reefs of Ningaloo Reef

We are mapping the shallow reefs of Ningaloo Reef to understand more about coral growth and marine ecosystem health.

We estimate there are up to 14 million tonnes of microplastics on the seafloor. It’s worse than we thought

The amount of microplastics on the seafloor is up to 35 times more than the estimated weight of plastic pollution on the ocean’s surface.
