Collection Zone screen #6

After a player has chosen the nation for collecting the plastic waste, we may want to display a recovery zone menu window, based on Jambeck's collection zone categories:

  1. Pre-consumer - Unrecovered production waste
  2. Oceanbound - Mismanaged waste within 50K of a coast or waterway
  3. Waterway - Material recovered from waterways flowing towards the ocean
  4. Coastal - Material washed up on beaches and coastlines
  5. Near Shore - Material suspended in shallow or adjacent areas of the ocean, often includes material like fishing nets diverted from the ocean
  6. High Seas - Material far from shore, including gyres

We might want to exclude 0 and 5 from the choices, since it can be difficult to associate them with a nation in the datasets.

Including this information could provide greater insight into the sources of plastic pollution and the ease or difficulty of recovering them.

Given the current design/storyboard, this issue wouldn't apply.
