Plenty River Summary

Three out of the five litter trackers at Plenty River travelled longer distances of more than 6 km while the other two trackers were trapped in riparian vegetation. This suggests that although Plenty River has dense vegetation along its corridors and a winding course, it is still possible for litter to travel a long distance from its source with the likelihood of ending in the Yarra over time.
