Help the sea in the presence of oil: CIMA project

From September 15, 2021, the technical-scientific collaboration agreement, called CIMA (Contrast to Accidental Marine Pollution by Hydrocarbons), signed between ISPRA and eleven marine protected areas (AAMMPP) in order to strengthen the protection of marine ecosystems in areas of high naturalistic value, through the "Implementation of activities aimed at the prevention and contrast of accidental pollution by hydrocarbons in Marine Protected Areas".
When a seabird comes into contact with hydrocarbons, it is no longer able to swim and fly: therefore it cannot find food and escape predators.

Find out what you can do if you notice oil in the sea.
