Wetland ecosystems: a nature-based solution for coastal protection and plastic pollution entrapment in Macao<\/strong><\/p>
This project aims to assess plastic pollution along the city\u2019s coastal environment and\u00a0 investigate the specific roles of the local wetland ecosystems (coastal wetlands\/mangroves and\/or freshwater wetlands) for the entrapment and remediation of plastic pollution and reduction of water-related risks (flooding due to impact of storm surge brought by more frequent severe weather events).\u00a0 The scientific aspect of the project will be complemented by community-based activities in order to raise awareness about plastic pollution, their impact on the aquatic ecosystems, and mitigation strategies.\u00a0 These awareness campaigns are expected to translate into action with community participation and active engagement in coastal clean-ups, planting and other relevant activities.<\/span><\/p>
