Justine Barrett on cleaning out the undergound garbage bins

Justine Barrett Research Technician & iPhD Student with CSIRO's Marine Debris Team - currently researching how best to reduce the flow of litter into our oceans and waterways. In this chat, we discuss Justine's recent research compiling over 1300 audits of gross pollutant traps (GPTs) across Australia, the key barriers to cleaning out GPTs, and how to resolve these barriers - and ultimately better protect our oceans and waterways from stormwater pollution.
