How Plastic Waste Gets to the Ocean<\/h2>\r\nEleven million metric tons of plastic reach the ocean each year, and that number could triple by 2040 if large-scale solutions aren\u2019t developed quickly, according to research by The Pew Charitable Trusts and sustainability consultancy SYSTEMIQ.\r\n\r\n\u201cThe common perception is that most ocean plastic is in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, which is estimated to be twice the size of Texas,\u201d Nettleton said, referring to the largest of five garbage patches in the world\u2019s oceans.\r\n\r\nHowever, according to a recent Florida State University study published in Frontiers in Marine Science<\/em>, from 2010 to 2019, about 75 percent of mismanaged plastic waste turned up on beaches."},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":544512,"image_position":"left","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"\u201cPlastic ends up on shorelines because the majority of ocean plastic comes from land, and most of that comes from rivers,\u201d Nettleton said.\r\n\r\nOpenOceans Global seeks to identify how plastic flows into the ocean and accumulates on those shorelines. According to a study funded by the nonprofit The Ocean Cleanup and published in Science Advances<\/em>, about 80 percent of plastic that traverses rivers and ends up in oceans comes from more than 1,000 rivers\u2014many of which are in Asia, Latin America, and Africa. Researchers found that small urban rivers in places with poor trash management practices convey the most plastic pollution to the ocean. But this doesn\u2019t mean that the trash necessarily originates there. Many countries with upper-income economies\u2014such as the United States, Japan, and France\u2014outpace the rest of the world in plastic consumption and then ship more than a million tons of recyclable plastic overseas each year, often to places with trash management issues.\r\n\r\n\u201cWe think there are ways to stop plastic waste from reaching the ocean if we know where it comes from geographically,\u201d said Nettleton. \u201cEven though the United States and other developed nations produce most of the plastic, the Florida State study found that 55 percent of ocean plastic reaches the ocean from five countries: China, the Philippines, India, Brazil, and Indonesia. If the Philippines sends almost 16 percent of the world\u2019s plastic to the ocean via its rivers, as this study discovered, the world could focus on developing solutions for this one country and bring global resources behind it to get the Philippines as close to a zero ocean plastic contribution as possible. We could see which solutions work best there\u2014whether it\u2019s implementing river intervention technologies to stop the plastic from reaching the ocean, developing new products to replace plastic, or implementing new processes for trash management\u2014and then replicate those models in other high-plastic polluting countries.\u201d"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

A Global View of Where Plastic Pollution Originates<\/h2>\r\nTo get started with this ambitious project, the team at OpenOceans Global employed ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World to develop a map that focuses on where plastic litters the world\u2019s coastlines.\r\n\r\n\u201cYou can click on the map and see the rivers of the world, major ocean currents, and a highly detailed point-in-time snapshot of ocean currents,\u201d said Nettleton. \u201cThese tools help people better understand how plastic debris travels.\u201d"},{"acf_fc_layout":"sidebar","layout":"standard","image_reference":null,"image_reference_figure":"","spotlight_image":null,"section_title":"","spotlight_name":"","position":"Right","content":"Carl Nettleton believes that geospatial practitioners\u2014especially Esri users\u2014would make ideal citizen scientists for the OpenOceans Global project.\r\n\r\n\u201cThey work in a unique mix of science and technology and tend to really care about the environment,\u201d he said. \u201cThere are Esri users in almost every country around the globe, and many of them live near or travel to coastlines that have been pervasively fouled by plastic. We are asking Esri users to play an essential role in populating the Ocean Plastic Map<\/em>.\u201d\r\n\r\nTo get started, go to the OpenOceans Global website<\/a> and fill in the form to identify plastic-plagued coastlines. The form can be used on smartphones, tablets, and desktop and laptop computers.","snippet":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"Map users can activate layers that show the top 20 rivers that contribute plastic to the ocean and where plastic collects in ocean gyres. They can also see the survey data that citizen scientists contribute about plastic pollution on their local beaches.\r\n\r\nUsing Survey123 on their mobile devices or desktop computers, citizen scientists enter the beach or coastal area\u2019s name, pinpoint its exact location on a map, upload an image that shows the waste accumulation, provide a description of the issue, predict where the trash is likely coming from, and record what is being done to solve the problem. They also enter their contact details and information about organizations they work with.\r\n\r\nAfter an entry is submitted, a temporary red dot symbol automatically appears on the OpenOceans Global web map. A team at the organization then verifies the information and, if it all checks out, turns the red dot into a red bull\u2019s eye, indicating that the coastal area is pervasively fouled by plastic.\r\n\r\n\u201cThe way plastic has been approached is as a local problem\u2014you know, \u2018my beach has plastic on it, so I\u2019d better not use plastic straws or plastic bags anymore,\u2019\u201d said Nettleton. \u201cWell, that\u2019s important. But there isn\u2019t yet a global view of where that plastic comes from.\u201d\r\n\r\nThe more entries that are contributed via OpenOceans Global\u2019s Survey123 form, the clearer this global picture will be. And once OpenOceans Global has enough data points, the team will be able to distinguish the sources of plastic pollution on specific beaches\u2014whether from rivers, stormwater systems, or inadequate local trash management\u2014and develop new symbology on the map to reflect that.\r\n\r\n\u201cKnowing where the plastic originates helps identify solutions to prevent plastic from reaching the ocean,\u201d said Nettleton. \u201cFor instance, placing barriers in small, local rivers can capture trash before it gets to the ocean. Theoretically, that will reduce the amount of plastic that ends up on beaches, and at a certain point, those beaches won\u2019t be pervasively fouled by plastic anymore.\u201d"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

Tracing Plastic Through the Open Ocean<\/h2>\r\nFor plastic pollution that arrives onshore via the open ocean, it is more challenging to identify the source. In the Gal\u00e1pagos Islands, whose once-pristine coastlines now gather plastic waste, an international research initiative called Plastic Pollution Free Gal\u00e1pagos employs a sophisticated forensic process to analyze plastic debris and determine its source. The initiative\u2019s research suggests that more than 60 percent of plastic that ends up in the Gal\u00e1pagos Islands stems from mainland South America (mainly southern Ecuador and northern Peru), with about 30 percent coming from nearby fishing vessels and less than 10 percent from local towns.\r\n\r\nBut not every coastal area has access to forensics data. So the team at OpenOceans Global worked with Jingyi Huang\u2014who, at the time, was a student working toward a master\u2019s degree at the University of Redlands and is now an enterprise analyst at Esri\u2014to create a mapping app that traces plastic on coastlines back to its likely source."},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":544522,"image_position":"left","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"The app employs Ocean Surface Current Analysis Real-time (OSCAR) data, which shows surface-level ocean currents, along with ocean current data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and satellite data from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). App users can click on an area of the ocean immediately adjacent to where coastal plastic was found, and the app will create a route to its likely source. In the case of plastic waste in the Gal\u00e1pagos Islands, the OpenOceans Global tracing app aligns with Plastic Pollution Free Gal\u00e1pagos\u2019s forensics research.\r\n\r\nBefore the app is included with OpenOceans Global\u2019s publicly available web map, however, the tracing tool needs to incorporate wind and wave variables, since these affect how plastic is moves through the ocean. Huang plans to merge that data with the app\u2019s existing ocean current data."},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

Citizen Scientists Are Key to Finding Solutions<\/h2>\r\nIn the future, Nettleton hopes that OpenOceans Global can use aerial imagery and artificial intelligence to identify where plastic is accumulating on shorelines.\r\n\r\n\u201cBut as of now, the most effective and comprehensive way to collect this data is with citizen scientists using our Survey123 mapping tool,\u201d said Nettleton. \u201cCitizen scientists are critical to our success.\u201d\r\n\r\nHe hopes that people who participate in data gathering will also form a community through OpenOceans Global where they can exchange ideas about how to keep their beaches free from plastic pollution.\r\n\r\n\u201cAs solutions are put in place and shorelines are no longer fouled by plastic, we will turn the icons on our map green to show that the problem has been fixed,\u201d said Nettleton. \u201cThat\u2019s the ultimate goal.\u201d"}],"references":null},"yoast_head":"\nA Global Approach to Preventing Plastic from Reaching the
