Protocols Adapted to the South for Studying the Plastic Origins and River Transfers : from the Cities to the Coast<\/strong><\/h3>

\"\"<\/p>

The scientific community interested by the topic of plastic pollution in the environment is growing worldwide. However, developing countries, pointed out as emitting the most plastic waste to the ocean, are still understudied and plastic pollution poorly understood. The lack of facilities and technical support to develop adapted methodologies or the lack of national and regional coordination among the different stakeholders may explain this difference. The IRD interdisciplinary scientific research community, bringing together French and foreign research teams from global South, hopes to tackle this gap by promoting a scientific approach adapted to the South.<\/p>

The\u00a0International Research Network PASSPORT-2C<\/strong>\u00a0(2022-2025) funded by\u00a0IRD\u00a0<\/strong>addresses key methodological issues to promote interdisciplinary approaches and exchanges and to facilitate their transfer and further comparisons between worksites. Its focus will primarily be on the\u00a0transfer of plastics (micro and macro) from Land to Ocean<\/strong>, with a special attention paid to\u00a0the City to Coast component in the intertropical zones<\/strong>, including rivers, estuaries, delta, mangroves, lagoons and bays. PASSPORT-2C aims to\u00a0promote exchanges\u00a0<\/strong>between partners, and\u00a0sharing and development\u00a0<\/strong>of sober, virtuous, robust, sustainable methodologies adapted to the intertropical ecosystems, for studying plastic transfer from city to coast. These methodologies are based on field and lab analytical protocols, model parameterizations, deep learning, machine learning, image analysis, social survey and participatory observatories. PASSPORT-2C ambition is finally to\u00a0bring the voice of sustainable science at the global South<\/strong>\u00a0on plastic pollution in order to ultimately strengthen the inclusion of Southern partners within the International Scientific Committees.<\/p>
