About the application:

Are you concerned about the amount of plastic waste ending up in our oceans? Receive involved as a citizen scientist by using River Plastic Survey to assist The Ocean Cleanup and the global community better understand river plastic pollution. Developed by The Ocean Cleanup’s leading scientists this apk is easy to handle and allows you to report to a global database the plastic load in a stream or river near you using your phone. This is the first river plastic counting apk that enables you to report river plastic in true time. Why use River Plastic Survey? It is fun, it is simple, and it generates necessary global data for citizens, scientists, and decision makers to move forward in reducing ocean plastic pollution. By using River Plastic Survey you can join our mission to rid the world’s oceans of plastic and become part of the biggest cleanup in history. How to perform a River Plastic Survey? Download the River Plastic Survey apk, go to a stream or river of your choice during daylight, and pick a secure bridge with a decent pedestrian place.

Rivers represent a major source of plastic pollution. They are widely believed to be the arteries that carry waste from land to the ocean. With over 8 billion dozens of plastic produced to date, a significant fraction of discarded products have been leaking into the environment, entering waterways, and reaching the ocean via rivers. We now know that this is currently event everywhere in the globe and we estimate that over 1000 rivers are responsible for 80% of the global riverine plastic inputs into the ocean. The understanding of waste types and quantitative fluxes is necessary to better inform interception tactics. The data generated by this apk (thanks to you)will let scientists to refine numerical models simulating the terrestrial transport of plastic and better understand emissions. These results will be directly impacting the design and deployment tactic of river cleanup solutions. Become a part of the biggest cleanup in history.
