Since 2018, Sustainable Coastlines has been delivering a long-term citizen science program in New Zealand to collect open-access scientific data on marine liter and use it to turn insights into action.

Sustainable coastlines is providing in person training for communities and associations involved in the implementation of the SWAP Marine Litter Pilot Projects, to enable them to conduct statistically sound beach litter surveys and audits during clean-up activities, and to enable them to record this date using the Litter Intelligence online application for Marine Litter data sharing.

The purpose of this report is to support SWAP and the Solomon Islands government agencies with decision making on the allocation of fruits available for waste disposal site rehabilitation and climate resilience in Tulagi and Gizo.
