People who work in the field environment and sustainability are restless! For a high level summit or simial advocacy opportunities we are unstoppable and often travel across the globe to meet and sometimes confront others or exchange ideas and good practices.
Why should we all be concerned about Marine Litter? What do we know so far about the issue and how can we work together to address it? How can we better communicate it and what is our role as educators?
Did you know that odour pollution is the second most common subject of public complaints across Europe? Yet it has been continuously ignored by Governments when planning their environmental policies.
More than 130 dedicated marine litter practitioners attended the final conference of ACT4LITTER, held on October 24th in Athens, to celebrate the end of a successful project and spark dialogue, ideas for the future and synergies on dealing with the issue of marine litter in Mediterranean Marine Protected areas.
Some 120 managers of marine protected areas, marine litter experts and other stakeholders from the Mediterranean will be at the closing conference of ACT4LITTER, scheduled for October 24th at the Central Building of the University of Athens.
