Science-Policy Frameworks for Nationally Coordinated, Place-Based Freshwater Macroplastics & Microplastics Monitoring in Canada

From the notice

Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) has a requirement to strengthen our existing understanding of effective, properly scoped, monitoring objectives for both macroplastics and microplastics via freshwater monitoring strategies; identify fit-for-purpose monitoring approaches aligned with relevant sources, pathways and distribution across key environmental compartments (surface water, sediment, biota); and consider feasibility within current analytical and operational constraints. The work will leverage existing and widely recognized methods and initiatives from regional, national and i…
