Plastic items from takeaway food and drink dominate the litter in the world’s oceans, according to the most comprehensive study to date.

Research scientist Jennifer Lavers has spent weeks sifting through the world's waste on two remote sets of islands — and what she has found could have alarming consequences for wildlife. In 2017, many were shocked to learn the shores of uninhabited Henderson Island in the South Pacific

The problem with plastic waste just got more complicated—and so did the effort to stanch its flow into the world’s oceans. Rivers are the primary conduits for plastic waste to the seas.

Four countries are upping their engagement in the fight against marine litter and plastic pollution by teaming with the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) to organize a ministerial conference on preserving the oceans through the sustainable production and consumption of plastics.

Pacific island countries are behind a study to gauge the amount of plastic waste that is dumped at sea by tuna fishing vessels working in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean (WCPO).

Millions of tons of plastic waste find their way into the ocean every year.

Mangrove ecosystems are at particular risk of being polluted by plastic carried from rivers to the sea.
