State of the Environment and Conservation in the Pacific Islands: 2020 Regional Report: Indicator 12 - Marine Plastic Pollution
- Description:
- Pacific data are limited, but existing data show high proportions of plastic in the waste stream (Table 29.1), as marine litter, and as microplastics present throughout Pacific marine ecosystems, including in the guts of fish and their prey (SPREP 2016, Markic et al. 2018). In a 2011 study, plastics formed 12% of the waste stream in Honiara (SPREP 2017).
