Winning the Walker Trust Travel Scholarship allowed me to undertake a month-long fieldtrip to the Indonesian island of Bali, where I conducted an in-depth qualitative study on the impact of organised beach cleans as a behavioural change intervention to reduce marine plastic pollution. Focusing on the socio-psychological impacts of beach cleans, it was a fascinating case-study of one aspect of a much larger set of interconnected processes and practices. Behaviour is mediated by structural barriers. Therefore, in Bali and around the world, it is necessary to consider holistically the synergies and conflicts that exist in relation to plastic. I relished the opportunity to undertake research of this nature and it was this experience that has drawn me to undertake further academic study in the field of sustainable development.
