Met weghalen strandzwerfafval maken we de zeeën schoon
Eunomia has launched an infographic to explain the problem of marine plastic litter - to illustrate where it comes from, where it ends up and the best ways to address it. The infographic brings together some of the key findings from recent research. 94% of the plastic that enters the ocean ends up on the sea floor. Barely 1% of marine plastics are found floating at or near the ocean surface, with an average global concentration of less than 1kg/km2. The amount estimated to be on beaches globally is five times greater, and importantly, the concentration is much higher, at 2,000kg/km2. By removing beach litter, we are therefore cleaning the oceans (Nieuwsbericht Eunomia, 24 mei 2016).
