Sea of plastic: Fisherfolk cannot manage fishing-related litter without disposal sites and technology, says Manju Lekshmi (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Fishing-related plastic makes up a smaller share of marine litter than land-based waste, yet abandoned nets and fibre-reinforced plastic (FRP) boats cause severe ecological damage. Scientist Manju Lekshmi explains how ghost fishing kills turtles and whales, why FRP boats are hard to dispose of, and why India urgently needs harbour-level waste units, incentives and clear rules for fisherfolk to manage this growing problem. Fishing contributes a smaller share of marine plastic than land-based wast
Sea of plastic: India cannot rely only on western studies to understand marine litter, says A Biju Kumar (opens the original)
Read excerpt
India’s marine debris database remains scattered, making it difficult to identify true hotspots and frame effective policy, says KUFOS Vice Chancellor A Biju Kumar. Kumar says India needs local studies on microplastics, nanoplastics, plastic degradation and emerging contaminants in Indian coastal waters and marine habitats. A national research consortium, stronger solid-waste management and incentives for fisherfolk are needed to tackle marine litter, he says. India lacks a comprehensive baselin
Sea of plastic: Plastic has to become less toxic before it becomes less problematic as marine litter, says Satish Sinha (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Marine litter has become a global concern because untreated solid and liquid waste increasingly ends up in the oceans, says Satish Sinha of Toxics Link. Sinha says plastics, hazardous chemicals and microplastics can affect marine biodiversity, enter food chains and raise concerns for human health. Better waste management, safer plastics and stronger systems to collect and process difficult-to-recycle materials are essential to addressing the problem, he says. Marine litter is emerging as a major
