A national survey of Australian municipal staff reported an average of 51%–60% of gross pollutant traps (GPTs) performing optimally. Analysis of audit data from 33 municipalities revealed that 80% of GPTs were underperforming, with only 5% classified as fully operational. The dataset, authored by Justine Barrett and last updated in May 2026, estimates that optimal GPT function could prevent 106,000 tonnes of litter per year from polluting Australia's marine environments.
