Litter location
The Key Littered Items Study 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
- Cooks River, 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 2 Sydney sites accounted for almost 79% of the litter.
