    Towards Trash Free Waters: Quantifying Potential Aquatic Trash Recovery in the Hillsborough River Watershed Prepared for Nestlé Waters North America October 27, 2015 Prepared by Timothy G. Townsend (Principal Investigator) Max J. Krause Sarah A. Gustitus Jeremy Toms University of Florida Gainesville, FL 32611 i Executive Summary Despite advances in solid waste management and increased awareness of the negative environmental consequences of pollution, littering is still common in the US. Littering can be the result of carelessness, accidents, or intentional actions, but the effect is the same. In recent years, concerned citizens have increased their attention to litter in the Hillsborough River Watershed (HRW). The University of Florida (UF) research team collaborated with local municipalities and non-government organizations (NGOs) to quantify and map the quantity of collected litter within the HRW. Because much of the storm water within the HRW drains into the Hillsborough River, all of the litter within the watershed has the potential to become aquatic trash (PAT). The PAT that was collected in roadside and park cleanups before it made its way into the Tampa Bay or the Gulf of Mexico (recovered PAT) was cataloged into a database and mapped using ESRI ArcGIS software. Concentrations of recovered PAT were reported as pounds per acre for 1,015 cleanup events at 168 unique sites within the HRW from 2008-2014, shown in Figure E1. Additionally, educational campaigns such as storm drain markings and field visits by the WaterVentures mobile lab were mapped to identify where residents could be expected to have increased awareness of the negative issues associated with littering.
