Article Synopsis
- A study in Sydney Harbour examined the impact of recreational activities on marine debris, finding that piers had significantly higher debris levels than nearby soft-sediment habitats.
- Over 2,800 debris items were collected, with more than half being plastic and a large portion linked to recreational fishing, especially near the estuary mouth.
- The research suggests that management efforts should concentrate on areas near piers and that public awareness campaigns should address the behaviors of recreational users to reduce debris.
