This research project aims to investigate plastic pollution in the marine environment and its ecological impacts. The project will focus on identifying the sources and distribution of plastic debris, as well as the effects of microplastics on marine organisms and ecosystems. We will explore ways to reduce plastic pollution through waste management, policy changes, and technological innovations.
Milestones of this project include conducting surveys to determine the distribution of plastic debris in the marine environment, assessing the impacts of plastic on marine organisms and ecosystems, and developing and testing new technologies to remove plastic debris from the ocean.
The potential applications of this research are significant. This research could inform policymakers and industry leaders to take action to reduce plastic waste and implement more sustainable practices. The development of new technologies to remove plastic debris from the ocean could have significant environmental and economic benefits. Additionally, this research could increase public awareness about the harmful effects of plastic pollution on marine life and ecosystems, and encourage individuals to adopt more sustainable behaviors.
Overall, this research project has the potential to drive significant change towards reducing plastic pollution in the marine environment, improving the health of marine ecosystems, and promoting sustainable practices.
