Litter location

The KLIS monitoring sites are in mangroves in urban estuaries.

Ten KLIS survey locations are used to monitor progress to litter targets in NSW:

  • North Coast
    • Ballina, Coffs Harbour and Port Macquarie
  • Mid Coast
    • Stockton, Taree
  • Sydney
    • Muddy Creek (Arncliffe), Meadowbank (Ryde)
  • South Coast
    • Batemans Bay, Merimbula, Narooma.

Location of litter by site

The chart below outlines the proportion of litter found across the different KLIS survey locations.

As expected, areas with more people had more litter. The two Sydney sites accounted for almost 75% of the litter.
