They’re currently working on the study in the River Wye, where they have been taking water samples and measuring the amount of micro plastic in the sample. These sorts of studies have been conducted before but are mostly done in either oceans or seas rather than rivers.

So, one of the purposes of the study is to show how badly affected the rivers. The study is using specialized equipment in order to measure the number of microplastics in the water.
Bonnie Wright shared her thoughts on the matter:
"I think it is incredibly worrying.Every time I have done the trawling for plastics, like we have done today, there’s not been one time the net hasn’t come up with some type of micro plastics."
She also sent out a call to action via her official Instagram page urging as many people to sign the petition to urge the UK government to take steps and protect the public from the effects polluting our rivers with plastic will do.
