Find out more about the researchers presenting their work at the virtual event 'Voices of the Blue Charter' on 29 April.
Around 8 million tons of plastic end up in our oceans every single year, and the steady accumulation of plastics in fragile marine ecosystems has become one of the biggest environmental challenges of our time.
Researchers and innovators play a crucial role shedding light on the impact of marine plastics and finding urgent solutions to address them. From 2019-20, the latest round of ACU Blue Charter Fellowships funded by Waitrose & Partners supported 10 research talents to design and complete innovative research projects and associated knowledge exchange activities across the Commonwealth, touching upon a range of topics supporting the aims of the Commonwealth Blue Charter.
