If possible, please provide the approximate GPS coordinates (in decimal degrees, e.g., 31.467, 30.365) of the river site where your team is proposing to install the river plastic capture system.

A top priority for this project is recycling or re-using plastics captured in the river pilot project and responsibly disposing of plastics and other waste that are not recyclable. We recognize that, in most instances, building new waste processing plants or recycling facilities is beyond the financial scope of this award. As such, we strongly encourage teams to propose how they will leverage existing recycling/waste management infrastructure or programs at a proposed site to productively handle captured plastic. We also encourage applicants to describe how they have or will leverage funding from this RFP to secure additional new funding to cover any significant costs associated with new recycling and waste management infrastructure and programs. We welcome the inclusion of costs associated with new recycling or waste management infrastructure in applicants' proposals, but note that all such additions 1) must be compelling and well-justified and 2) cannot detract in the budget from funding the successful implementation of the river plastics capture device and associated communications efforts as outlined in the RFP. Please describe this plan in no more than 4250 characters (including spaces).

Please upload your project budget, edited from the spreadsheet provided by the Benioff Ocean Initiative team.

Here, upload optional materials if desired, such as: a schematic of proposed physical capture system; a map of proposed intervention site; examples of potential communication/outreach materials; etc.
