NESP MB Project E3 - Microplastics in the Australian marine environment

本记录概述了NESP海洋生物多样性中心项目E3--“澳大利亚海洋环境中的微塑料”的范围和研究成果。此项目不需要任何数据输出。<br/> <br/> <br/> 文献综述将首先确定国际上主要的海洋微塑料研究和政策制定，重点是与澳大利亚海洋环境中的微塑料相关的研究<br/> <br/> 根据这一文献审查，将编写一份备选方案文件，以探讨澳大利亚在减少海洋环境中故意添加和非故意添加的微塑料方面最可行和最有影响力的政策办法(了解能够处理这两类微塑料的政策备选方案将是有益的，因为备选方案是不同的)。<br/> <br/> 这两份报告将构成为期一天的讲习班的基础，该讲习班将把政策制定者、研究人员和相关的行业高峰机构聚集在一起，讨论和建议限制微塑料在环境中的排放/影响的政策和其他备选方案。将起草一份研讨会报告，总结调查结果、建议和下一步行动(包括找出科学和政策方面的差距，以便为今后需要开展的任何工作提供信息)。<br/> <br/> 该报告将提供证据，支持旨在减少微塑料污染的国家政策的制定，包括确定优先行动，以实现澳大利亚2018年国家废物政策。

This record provides an overview of the scope and research output of NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub Project E3 - "Microplastics in the Australian marine environment". No data outputs are expected for this project.<br /> <br /> --------------------<br /> <br /> A literature review will firstly identify key marine microplastics research and policy development internationally, with a focus on research that is contextual to microplastics in the Australian marine environment <br /> <br /> From this literature review, an options paper will be developed to explore the most feasible and impactful policy approaches for the Australian context to reduce both intentionally added and not intentionally added microplastics in the marine environment (it would be beneficial to understand the policy options that can address both categories of microplastics because the options are different). <br /> <br /> These two reports would form the basis of a one day workshop that will draw together policy-makers, researchers and relevant industry peak bodies to discuss and recommend policy and other options to limit the release / impact of microplastics in the environment. A workshop report will be drafted to summarise findings, recommendations, and next steps (including identifying gaps in both science and policy will inform any future work required).<br /> <br /> The report will provide evidence to underpin the development of national policy aimed at reducing microplastic pollution, including by identifying priority actions to deliver Australia’s 2018 National Waste Policy .
