This project aims determine the sources of marine litter in Singapore’s shores. In this study, by surveying a sample of Pasir Ris Beach, located on the east coast of Singapore, we were able to identify various origins of marine debris from January to March. Our data suggests land-based sources, such as convenience stores and supermarkets, as the main origins of the marine debris found along this stretch of the beach. This projects marks one of the first steps into a new method of tackling marine debris throughout Singapore’s shores
