Original Note:
Plastic does not come from rivers, but from people living at land or working at sea. Plastic pollution to the ocean is NOT a local problem but a global one. Latest studies show that 1656 rivers contribute to 80% of plastic waste brought into the ocean by rivers. https://ourworldindata.org/ocean-plastics https://ourworldindata.org/cdn-cgi/imagedelivery/qLq-8BTgXU8yG0N6HnOy8g/37c2f6f9-d726-4b84-35fb-e502a91a7a00/w=1350 https://oceanworks.co/blogs/ocean-plastic-news/where-does-ocean-plastic-come-from#:~:text=Plastic%20waste%20generation%20continues%20to,poor%20management%20of%20plastic%20waste.
