Marine Litter Project
Australia has a high diversity and abundance of marine mammal species inhabiting its marine environments. Excitingly, our amazing marine mammals are just as diverse as the marine environments in which they are found, with many species of dolphins, seals and whales!
Unfortunately, Australia’s marine mammals and their environment are under increasing pressure. Litter and marine debris are an identified threat to marine environments, not only in Australia, but around the world.
Through this course, we will explore the incredible diversity of our marine mammals and their environment, investigate the impact of litter and marine debris, and discover what we can all do to make a positive difference to care for our marine environments.
