Investigating the journey of plastics along the Mekong River in Vietnam and its ultimate fate in the world’s oceans.
The University of Hull's Energy and Environment Institute, is working in partnership with the National Geographic, Newcastle University, the Southern Institute of Water Resource Research (SIWRR) in Vietnam and Panassastra University in Cambodia.
The Mekong is one of the most polluted rivers in the world, transporting an estimated 40 thousand tonnes of plastic into the world’s oceans each year. The regional population is growing, increasing the amount of waste that passes through the river. At risk is the coral triangle, the most biodiverse marine area on our planet, situated near the Mekong’s mouth. Understanding how plastic flows along the Mekong into the ocean is key to reducing its impact.
