Plastic pollution is a serious threat to our natural environment with eight million tons of plastic waste escaping into the oceans from our rivers and coastal nations every year. Focusing on the River Medway in southern England, we are working with communities, schools, businesses, and other partner organisations to understand, remove and reduce plastic pollution.
This work is part of the Preventing Plastic Pollution Project, working with 18 organisations from across France and England and funded by the EU INTERREG VA France (Channel) England Programme project co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund and the Heritage Lottery Fund.
