About this listen

 Plastic pollution along Australia’s coastline has dropped by more than a third over the last decade. That’s according to new research from Australia’s national science agency CSIRO, published in the Marine Pollution Bulletin. The CSIRO has found a 39 per cent decrease in coastal debris density compared to ten years ago with just over 8000 debris items recorded across almost 2000 surveys.
