Boom trap used to catch plastic on rivers
The Litterboom Project
Infrastructural development
To prevent mismanagement of plastics waste from reaching beaches and the marine environment, the investment of litter booms, traps, and other technological solutions is and still a priority.
The litter booms and traps work efficiently when staff have been trained on the installation as well as maintenance including working with communities to manage waste at source to prevent river pollution.
- Infrastructure maintenance is at the core of development.
- Training and capacity building should be continuous.
- Community engagement must be at the core of management.
