🌊 Field sampling begins! Our team was out on the beaches of Noakhali: Hatiya and Nijhum Dwip collecting the first data for Bangladesh's national marine plastic debris study.
This work will generate the country's official baseline data for SDG Indicator 14.1.1b (Floating Plastic Debris Density), helping build a clearer picture of plastic pollution along Bangladesh's coastline.
The study is being implemented by DREAM Consultancy Limited (DCL) in partnership with UNIDO, Department of Environment (DoE) and financed by the Government of Norway through the Royal Norwegian Embassy, Dhaka.
More updates from the field as sampling continues across our coastal sites! 🇧🇩
