I really enjoyed taking part in the University of Malaya's #Trashblitz whilst here in #Malaysia! A huge haul of #PlasticPollution was removed from the beach and important #CitizenScience data collected by the student team! πŸ§ͺπŸ¦‘πŸŒ

Bottles away!! The first of our RASP-SEA river releases of #GPS tagged #PlasticBottles have been released! These bottles will help us understand plastic transport from major rivers in Malaysia!
