Learn more about Sustainable Coastline’s Litter Intelligence Education Programme.
Litter is a major risk to people, culture, environment and economy, especially when it enters the marine environment. This is a problem we can – and will – solve. Led by charity Sustainable Coastlines, the Litter Intelligence programme collects data, provides insights and inspires action for a litter-free Aotearoa. As New Zealand’s first national litter database, Litter Intelligence is helping build a better understanding of the problem.
They are training and supporting educators around Aotearoa to deliver an exciting new and innovative litter reduction education programme called the Litter Intelligence Education programme, or LIEP for short.
