Article Synopsis
- Small island states, like Aldabra Atoll, are significantly impacted by plastic waste, with an estimated 513 tonnes of debris remaining, primarily from the fishing industry.
- A clean-up effort in Aldabra cost over $224,000 for removing 25 tonnes of plastic, highlighting the high financial burden, with future removal costing around $4.68 million and requiring 18,000 person-hours of labor.
- The study emphasizes the urgent need for cleanup initiatives to protect marine ecosystems, advocating for international funding to support these efforts and address the global plastic pollution crisis.
