IMPACT SUMMARY
The United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030) involves 10 challenges. Challenge 1 is to understand and beat marine pollution.
Productive Coasts is working to understand and map land and sea-based sources of pollutants and contaminants and assess their potential impacts on ocean ecosystems and human health, with the ultimate aim of developing policy and technical solutions to remove or mitigate these threats.
Pollution can be in the form of excess nutrients (that can cause harmful algal blooms), aerosols and ash generated from wildfires, or untreated stormwater delivered to waterways during rainfall in urbanised catchments.
