## Resource

Seabins data reveals a surge in plastic pollution during Vivid Sydney, with microplastics also on the rise. Despite Seabins offer for extra bins, Destination NSW rejected it, focusing on internal waste management. Environmental experts suggest improved waste management strategies, including more bins, public education, and traps in stormwater drains. The issue of plastic pollution in Sydney Harbour is ongoing, emphasizing the need for reusable options and land-based waste awareness.
