Waste & Pollution

Waste & Pollution

Waste and pollution affect aquatic ecosystems, seafood production, human health and coastal livelihoods. The sources and pathways are complex, ranging from plastics and lost fishing gear to processing waste, nutrients, effluents and pollution originating far beyond the coastline. We help governments, businesses, funders and sector organisations understand these pressures and develop targeted, workable responses.

Our work considers the full journey of materials and pollutants, from their source and use through to collection, treatment, recovery or release into the environment.

How we can help:

  • Marine litter and waste assessments
  • Plastics and fishing-gear initiatives
  • Fishing-gear collection, recovery, reuse and recycling
  • Waste-flow and pollution-pathway analysis
  • Policy and regulatory review
  • Waste and pollution prevention strategies
  • Seafood and aquaculture waste and byproducts management
  • Infrastructure and service assessment
  • Stakeholder engagement
  • Programme design and evaluation
  • Monitoring frameworks
