RE: A study of mesopelagic fish found that 73 % of them had plastic in their gut!

educate the people close to these ten rivers about the problems with plastic pollution,

Awareness/education of plastic pollution and it's bad consequences is mandatory to both community i.e local community + tourist. Recycling plants near to the river is also a great idea. In addition govt can hire native staff members to clean the shore area. It will serve in two way. Local community will earn for providing services and at the same time help to minimize plastic pollution.

Yeah, I think this would be a great solution. It's too bad that the countries close to these big rivers are typically very poor, and the governments there are unlikely too care a lot about pollution..
