In the wake of plastics
‘In the wake of plastics’ conference is a contribution from the Adriatic area to the global discussion on the problem of sea pollution.
The scenario arising from the DeFishGear project activities (on floating litter and litter from seabed, macro and microplastics in the sea and in beach sediments, collection and recycling of derelict fishing gear), developed along the eastern and western coasts of the Adriatic Sea, is depicting the same harsh reality of the rest of the world, and it’s a plastic plague in lasting exhibition.
What you ‘sea’ is what you get.
But what we all see ended up to the sea somehow. Then beyond scientific and management argumentations and knowledge sharing on the subject, the aim of the conference is to highlight the need for changes in the awareness & responsible behavior of common people and key stakeholders.
