The Litter Trackers: Reducing Littering by Education
Most litter that ends up in Port Phillip Bay comes from the catchments. Education is an integral tool for achieving long-term change in community behaviors and reducing litter in waterways and the Bay. The Litter Trackers program will be the first study of its kind in Victoria to deploy GPS-tracked litter at 20 sites within Port Phillip Bay catchments to demonstrate the life of litter once it leaves a person's hand and reaches our waterways. This project will provide educational tools that can be used in schools, councils and by government.
Project timeline: 2018 - 2019
Key contributors: Kavitha Chinathamby, Jacki Myers, Vincent Pettigrove
