The project addresses the common challenge of marine pollution in the Adriatic-Ionian region. This challenge is exacerbated by climatic changes and poses a significant threat to the region’s ecosystems, communities, and economies. The project aims to develop innovative tools and methods for early detection, prevention, and management of marine litter, ultimately establishing a robust network of stakeholders and delivering three significant joint strategies for marine litter prevention and management.
The overall objective of the project is to enhance the resilience of the Adriatic-Ionian region to climate change and man-made disasters by effectively combating marine pollution. By implementing science-based solutions, fostering collaboration among key stakeholders, and promoting knowledge exchange, the project contributes to a healthier marine environment and sustainable development in the region.
