Melbourne’s Port Phillip Bay is being trashed, with an estimated 1.4 billion pieces of rubbish flowing into the sea annually from the Yarra and Maribyrnong rivers.
Hard plastics were the most common items found in both rivers, followed by polystyrene in the Yarra and soft plastics in the Maribyrnong River.
BeachPatrol Australia showed 544 million pieces of macroplastic were washing out of the bay per year too.
