National Sea Day

ISPRA is participating today, at the Castelporziano Estate, in the National Day of the Sea, promoted by the Ministry for Civil Protection and Marine Policies, in the presence of the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella and the Minister Nello Musumeci.
ISPRA exhibits two exhibitions, one dedicated to the adventures of sea turtle Carrie, created as part of the INDICIT Project, which narrates the dangers Carrie encounters due to abandoned nets, plastics and microplastics. The second exhibition "20.000 nets under the sea" is realized as part of the Mo.Ri.Net Project, whose objective is the conservation of marine habitats in two pilot areas of Sardinia through actions that include the removal of marine litter and fishing gear fishing lost, actively involving fishermen and raising awareness of the problem with dissemination and dissemination activities. From the point of view of the Circular Economy, the polyethylene waste collected, if suitable, is sent to the recycling and valorisation process.
Both exhibitions, together with the exhibition stand, were visited by President Mattarella and Minister Musumeci.

ISPRA president Stefano Laporta and the DG Maria Siclari have participated at the event.
