Marine debris is a significant global issue, with the amount of waste released into our oceans growing exponentially each year. Preliminary work in Australia has shown that entanglement and ingestion of debris is a serious threat to endangered sea turtles. The project aims to determine the impact debris is having and provide ways to reduce this impact.

海洋废弃物是一个重大的全球性问题，每年排入海洋的废物数量呈指数级增长。澳大利亚的初步工作表明，残骸的缠绕和吞食对濒危海龟构成严重威胁。该项目旨在确定碎片的影响，并提供减少这种影响的方法。
