项目摘要

The 3SIP2C project is focused on quantifying the types and amount of plastic waste entering the coastal margin of Vietnam, and understanding the pathways and destination of that plastic into the wider environment and marine life, and how this plastic impacts upon business activities such as aquaculture, fisheries, tourism and coastal communities. Vietnam's 3260 km coastline stretches across 28 coastal provinces and supports rural livelihoods that are engaged in coastal tourism, fisheries and aquaculture industries that are between them worth more than US$17 billion per year. These industries are themselves contributors to the plastic waste problem, but are also impacted by that waste, such that it represents a risk to civil society and business performance, health and safety. Our project will focus on plastic waste comprised of large (>50 mm), macro- (5 - 50 mm) and micro-plastics (<5 mm). The project is organised into five work packages, with Capacity Building and Engagement acting as the unifying theme throughout our proposed science, policy and governance programme. Our work packages flow from a fundamental understanding of the physical processes that transport plastics into coastal areas using 3 dimensional particle tracking models that account for seasonal changes in transport processes, and that account for the effects of tides, waves and freshwater inundation on these processes. We will couple this with a broadscale sampling strategy designed to gain insight into the characteristics and quantities of those plastics and the contaminants that are transported into the coastal system. This will be linked to a work package focused primarily on understanding the impacts and causes of large plastics on businesses and civil society associated with coastal communities, which will involve engaging citizens in collection of data on the distribution of large plastic through 'fishing for plastic' and the use of App technology. We take a deeper dive into the pathways by which macro and micro-plastics interact with the environment and interact with organisms, particularly those relevant to businesses such as fisheries and aquaculture. We will use experiments to understand how those plastics and their associated contaminants relate to health and disease threats in e.g. coastal aquaculture systems. We will interrogate the existing national and international legislations and policies that address the issue of plastics in supply chains and investigate where shortcomings in the integration of policies leads to shortfalls in their successful implementation. Finally, using a broad suite of techniques such as discourse analysis, focus groups, round-table discussions, gamification and citizen science, we will greatly increase awareness of the issues associated with plastic pollution and the effective solutions that could reduce its occurrence or its impacts on society. This engagement will interface with citizens at local, regional and national levels, and with managers and Government officials in relevant ministries. This proposal is ambitious with a multidisciplinary team from 8 research institutions and 7 partners in Vietnam covering all regions of the coastline, and HWU in the UK. Our engagement, impact and delivery are further strengthened by strategic partnerships with the wider non-academic collaborations through retailers (The Cooperative, UK; Sainsbury's), major seafood importers and processors (Labeyrie Fine Foods - Lyons Seafood) and a Vietnamese business consortium (IDH-Vietnam) and Vietnamese NGOs Centre for Marine Life, Conservation & Community Development (MCD), and global NGOs the Global Ghost Gear Initiative (GGGI) and Global Aquaculture Alliance (GAA). These partners provide the necessary access, expertise and impact translation to realise potential solutions that deliver demonstrable reductions in the causes and consequences of plastic waste in the environment.

3SIP2C项目的重点是量化进入越南沿海边缘的塑料废物的类型和数量，以及了解该塑料进入更广泛的环境和海洋生物的途径和目的地，以及这种塑料如何影响水产养殖，渔业，旅游业，沿海社区等商业活动。越南的3260公里海岸线遍布28个沿海省份，并支持从事沿海旅游，渔业和水产养殖行业的农村生计，它们每年价值超过170亿美元。这些行业本身就是塑料废物问题的贡献者，但也受到废物的影响，因此它代表了公民社会和商业绩效，健康和安全的风险。我们的项目将集中于由大型（> 50毫米），宏观（5-50毫米）和微塑料（<5 mm）组成的塑料废物。该项目分为五个工作包，其能力建设和参与成为我们拟议的科学，政策和治理计划的统一主题。我们的工作包从对物理过程的基本理解中流动，这些过程使用3维粒子跟踪模型将塑料运输到沿海地区，这些模型解释了运输过程的季节性变化，这说明了潮汐，波浪和淡水淹没对这些过程的影响。我们将将其与广泛的抽样策略相结合，旨在深入了解这些塑料的特征和数量以及运输到沿海系统的污染物的特征和数量。这将与一个工作套餐有关，重点是了解大型塑料对与沿海社区相关的企业和民间社会的影响和原因，这将涉及使公民通过“捕捞塑料”和应用程序技术的使用来收集有关大型塑料的数据。我们深入研究了宏观和微塑料与环境相互作用并与生物体相互作用的途径，尤其是与渔业和水产养殖等企业相关的途径。我们将使用实验来了解这些塑料及其相关污染物与例如健康和疾病威胁的关系如何沿海水产养殖系统。我们将询问现有的国家和国际立法和政策，以解决供应链中塑料问题的问题，并调查政策整合中的缺点导致其成功实施的短缺。最后，使用一系列技术，例如话语分析，焦点小组，圆桌讨论，游戏化和公民科学，我们将大大提高人们对与塑料污染相关的问题以及可能减少其发生或对社会影响的有效解决方案的认识。这种参与将与地方，地区和国家一级的公民以及相关部门的经理和政府官员互动。该提议雄心勃勃，来自8个研究机构的一个多学科团队和越南的7个合作伙伴，涵盖了海岸线的所有地区，而英国的HWU。 Our engagement, impact and delivery are further strengthened by strategic partnerships with the wider non-academic collaborations through retailers (The Cooperative, UK; Sainsbury's), major seafood importers and processors (Labeyrie Fine Foods - Lyons Seafood) and a Vietnamese business consortium (IDH-Vietnam) and Vietnamese NGOs Centre for Marine Life, Conservation & Community Development (MCD), and global非政府组织全球幽灵装备计划（GGGI）和全球水产养殖联盟（GAA）。这些合作伙伴提供了必要的访问，专业知识和影响翻译，以实现潜在的解决方案，从而可以减少环境中塑料废物的原因和后果。
