Invitation to participate in a plastic pollution survey

This survey, which is being led by Dr Charlotte Hopkins at the University of Hull, is about plastic pollution in the Arctic as part of a wider study about the presence of plastic in Arctic environments.

The aim is to learn more about peoples’ experience of plastic in the Arctic and their opinions regarding managing plastic waste. It should take no more than 10 minutes to complete the survey. We thank you for your time in completing the survey which will remain open for approximately 4 weeks.
