This record provides an overview of the scope and research output of NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub Emerging Priorities project - "Assessing the effectiveness of waste management in reducing the levels of plastics entering Australia’s marine environment". For specific data outputs from this project, please see child records associated with this metadata.<br /> <br /> --------------------<br /> <br /> This project will contribute to better understanding where to target investment in abatement measures by providing information on the extent of the leakage of plastic materials into the marine environment, where the greatest leakages are and in what quantity, and what form they take (e.g. plastic bags, packaging, takeaway containers). It will also identify what type of facilities, policies and outreach strategies governments (state and local) have in place and undertake an assessment of their effectiveness. <br /> <br /> The objectives of this project are to:<br /> 1. Investigate the relationship between plastic debris in the marine environment and litter data from nearby sites;<br /> 2. Determine whether there are identifiable pathways through which plastic debris moves into the marine environment;<br /> 3. Investigate whether particular investments in facilities, policies or outreach are effective in reducing plastic debris on coasts and in oceans and where investment should be directed in the future; and<br /> 4. Initiate an internal department workshop to socialise the outcomes of the research across the relevant arms of the department, including staff involved in approvals, waste, protected species, and parks, and explore the utility of existing data to address the Department’s needs, including those arising from the TAP and the Senate Inquiry.<br /> <br /> Planned Outputs<br /> • A written report and plain English summary for use by state, territory and local governments, which:<br /> - Synthesises existing knowledge on the relationship between debris in the marine environment and litter data from nearby sites, the types of litter and the pathways through which litter moves into the marine environment.<br /> - Summarises existing coastal debris/litter survey methodologies with discussion of applications of each. <br /> • A list of the activities and programs associated with plastic waste reduction (including facilities, policies and outreach),<br /> • A publically accessible analysis and summary of different survey methods aiming to reduce debris inputs to the marine environment. <br /> - The cost of the activities and programs<br /> - Ranking of activities and programs regarding their effectiveness in reducing plastic waste in the marine environment.<br /> • Conclusions on where marine debris hot spots are in Australia’s marine environment and effective mitigation strategies. <br /> • Recommendations on where more information (scientific, policy, infrastructure, community engagement) is required to obtain a better understanding of the problem and possible solutions. This may include identifying knowledge gaps and needs for further analysis

该记录概述了NESP海洋生物多样性中心新兴优先事项项目的范围和研究成果-“评估废物管理在减少进入澳大利亚海洋环境的塑料水平方面的有效性”。有关此项目的特定数据输出，请参阅与此元数据关联的子记录。<br /> <br /> --------------------<br /> <br /> 该项目将有助于更好地了解减少措施的投资目标，提供关于塑料材料泄漏到海洋环境中的程度、最大泄漏的地方、数量和形式（例如塑料袋、包装、外卖容器）的信息。它还将确定政府（州和地方）已经实施的设施、政策和外联战略的类型，并对其有效性进行评估。<br /> <br /> 该项目的目标是：<br /> 1.调查海洋环境中的塑料碎片与附近地点的垃圾数据之间的关系;<br /> 2.确定是否存在塑料碎片进入海洋环境的可识别途径;<br /> 3.调查对设施、政策或外联的特定投资是否能有效减少沿海和海洋中的塑料垃圾，以及未来应将投资投向何处;<br /> 4. 启动一个内部部门研讨会，以社会化的研究成果，跨部门的相关武器，包括参与审批，废物，受保护物种和公园的工作人员，并探讨现有数据的效用，以满足部门的需求，包括那些从TAP和参议院调查所产生的。<br /> <br /> 计划产出<br /> ·书面报告和简明英语摘要，供州、地区和地方政府使用，其中：<br /> - 综合关于海洋环境中的废弃物与附近地点的垃圾数据之间的关系、垃圾类型和垃圾进入海洋环境的途径的现有知识。<br /> - 总结了现有的沿海垃圾/垃圾调查方法，并讨论了每种方法的应用。<br /> ·与减少塑料废物相关的活动和计划清单（包括设施，政策和推广），<br /> ·对旨在减少碎片进入海洋环境的不同调查方法的分析和摘要，可供查阅。<br /> - 活动和方案的费用<br /> - 对减少海洋环境中塑料废物的活动和方案进行排名。<br /> ·关于澳大利亚海洋环境中的海洋废弃物热点和有效减缓战略的结论。<br /> ·就需要更多信息（科学、政策、基础设施、社区参与）以更好地了解问题和可能的解决方案提出建议。这可能包括查明知识差距和进一步分析的需要
