Plastic Busters CAP launches a participatory science campaign on marine litter in the Mediterranean with the aim to empower individuals and communities to take up action and fill in the data gaps that hamper the implementation of essential measures for a Mediterranean litter free.

 

The power of participatory science and community-based research is that all of us can take part and generate fit-for-purpose data, fill in the environmental knowledge data gaps and contribute to effective environmental decision-making.

 

The Plastic Busters CAP participatory science campaign is open to all local community actors, from NGOs, diving associations, divers’ clubs, business and industry, coastal communities, universities, expert communities to public authorities and others.

 

The Plastic Busters CAP participatory science campaign on marine litter in the Mediterranean is coordinated by MIO-ECSDE. Get involved and make an impact by carrying out a beach litter survey or a seafloor litter survey from the 1st to 30th of April 2023.
