Plastics are widely distributed in all ecosystems with evident impacts on biodiversity. We aimed at examining the topic of plastic occurrence within bird nests. conducted a systematic search three social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter) to fill gap knowledge nests worldwide. As result, we observed plastics mostly belonging synanthropic species inhabiting riverine habitats, mainly Europe, North America, Asia, an increase over years. Two common generalist freshwater (Eurasian Coot Fulica atra Swans Cygnus sp.) showed highest frequency debris. suggest as proxy for debris occurring environment. However, our data may be biased, due sample’s low representativeness. Therefore, more necessary have information distribution. In conclusion, might pivotal indicating hotspot areas worldwide being indicator pollution

This chapter explores a comprehensive approach to mitigating plastic pollution in freshwater ecosystems, aligning recommendations with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Regulatory measures, including extended producer responsibility and waste management infrastructure, are essential curb production. Mitigation strategies emphasize technological innovations, nature-based solutions, individual actions. Education outreach activities, targeting schools, communities, businesses, play pivotal role preventing future pollution. Challenges research needs highlight evolving nature of issue, necessitating deeper understanding sources, long-term effects, effective monitoring techniques. The interdisciplinary presented integrates environmental, social, economic dimensions, emphasizing interconnectedness sustainability efforts.

ABSTRACT A new fishing technique has been introduced in Lake Kivu, across the Congo side. It consists of gillnets on which light‐emitting diode (LED) lamps are attached. Traditional fishermen have without any studies related to positive and drawback effects this technique. We sought understand whether with LED improve catches can be regarded as sustainable for Kivu ecosystem, or is it just only a marketing strategy lamp sellers. Two complementary approaches used study. Experimental campaigns were conducted from June 2021 2022 monitoring team field coupled surveys about effectiveness use observed that (i) 88% using gillnet Bukavu sub‐basin already adopted recently technique; (ii) average catch per unit effort higher than those (3.84 ± 1.95 kg/net vs. 2.69 2.04 kg/net); (iii) these retrieve larger specimens (79.88 mm 76.69 mm) generate monthly profit ($916.35) lacking ($807). However, (iv) generates lot plastic trash: around 2130 kg bags/month under conditions sub‐basin. So, real panacea its practitioners, but veritable Pandora's box generating pollutants Kivu. Instead banning technique, we need adapt by submersible lamps.
