Fidra’s, The Great Nurdle Hunt map highlights nurdle pollution on coastlines across the world.

Data is collected and submitted online by volunteer ‘nurdle hunters’. Taking part is easy, can be done anywhere, anytime and by anyone, and it helps illustrate the global extent of this pollution problem. All you have to do is count the number of nurdles you find, you don't even have to collect them!

 

If you are looking to use our citizen science data in research projects or to support your working on tackling pellet pollution please email us at info@fidra.org.uk
