#PlasticPatrol: the #CitizenScientists tackling #litter in #Australian #waterways
#Plastics make up the majority of litter across the country. In the absence of regulation, the public are taking matters into their own hands
by James Norman, Fri 30 Jan 2026
"Neil Blake weighs a paper bag of fake grass fragments he has collected from a stormwater gutter near #DarebinCreek in #Melbourne’s north.
"Over the past three years Blake has conducted 56 collections of synthetic turf in the waterway alongside the KP Hardiman Reserve hockey pitch.
" 'I noticed that a local hockey pitch was being replaced and the plastic surface was running off into the local environment,' he says. Strong northerly winds and #LeafBlowers had helped shed the turf fragments into the local #environment.
"In addition to impacts on #AquaticEcosystems, scientific analysis suggests #PlasticPollution is exacerbating #ClimateChange, #biodiversity loss and #OceanAcidification.
"Australians produce more than 3m tonnes of plastic waste each year, and according to Clean Up’s annual survey of parks, beaches, creeks and other public spaces, plastics make up more than 80% of litter across the country. A review by the New South Wales chief scientist found that one #SyntheticTurf field could transport between 10kg and 100kg of plastic fragments into the #stormwater system or local waterways.
"Blake has taken advantage of the electronic scales provided by the newly opened community science laboratory in the Port Phillip #EcoCentre in #StKilda, to quantify his samples to present to the local council and the Environment Protection Authority. The lab hosts facilities including microscopes, measuring equipment, safety gear and access to advice from trained scientists.
"It’s one example of citizen scientists tackling the growing problem of plastics in #waterways, including #beaches, #rivers and dive sites around the country."

Attention, SF! A plan is underway to cover Crocker Amazon's fields with synthetic turf, effectively blanketing the area with plastic.
Unlike living lawns, artificial turf contains heavy metals, PFAS & microplastics.
If you want to advocate against this plan, please join Recreation and Park's meeting next Wednesday 11/12 🌱

At 2.20pm yesterday I was Just passing a local grass soccer oval on the way home.
What should be the heat health policy for children (teen girls) playing soccer in 35C+ heat? Anyone?When I got home, I did some reading: Sports Medicine Aus says Soccer is a category 3 sport for extreme heat health risks. The girls were playing in 35.8C ambient temperature, 22% humidity as I measured. That places them into moderate #heathealth risk approaching high risk.
I have no idea if more frequent breaks, or drink stoppages were being implemented which are risk mitigation measures at moderate level.
I am only glad this wasn’t on #syntheticturf which would amplify the heat health risks. Synthetic Turf can reach spot temperatures up to 80C in direct sunlight posing a direct health stress risk to playing on the surface.
The Sports Medicine Australia document says near the end :
“currently unclear if heat stress risk is truly elevated in children”
