Summary
Marine litter is a severe pollution threat with environmental, human health, safety and socioeconomic impacts and demanding regional collaboration. CleanAtlantic addresses this challenge and aims to protect biodiversity and ecosystem services in the Atlantic Area by improving capabilities to monitor, prevent and remove (macro) marine litter. The project aims to contribute to raise awareness and change attitudes among stakeholders and to improve marine litter managing systems.
The project will draw a picture of current situation which includes the existing knowledge, data and initiatives in the Atlantic regions. Prevention will be addressed by developing best practices to reduce inputs from fishing and port sectors. Removal of marine litter will be tackled developing best practises for routine beach litter clean-up by local authorities. Training and awareness activities addressed to various audiences will be delivered and project outputs will be transferred to competent authorities and key stakeholders to improve management and facilitate Marine Strategy Framework Directive implementation.
