Therefore, it puts into effect actions of monitoring, management, prevention, removal of the ML and proposes experimental actitions. ABOUT THE PROJECT
The MARLESS project intends to tackle the problem of Marine Litter in the Adriatic Seafrom many fronts in order to obtain visible and concrete results. The project addresses the problem in a holistic way and develops different actions aimed at att
acking the problem on all fronts. The general objective of the project is to implement concrete and joint interventions that allow addressing the phenomenon of Marine Litter (ML) from different points of view and methods of intervention. The project therefore puts into effect concrete actions of monitoring, management, prevention and removal of the ML without neglecting the normative aspect within which these actions are framed. Finally, it proposes innovative and experimental actions aimed at treating plastic waste in a circular economy perspective. Specific objectives:
• Strengthening of currently implemented actions
• Involvement of different categories of citizens in concrete and temporally sustainable actions
• Experimentation of innovative solutions
The project is divided into multiple actions:
• Monitoring actions aimed at comparing the partners on the methodologies used in the Marine Strategy on their own territories and at implementing a profitable mix of good practices as well as enhancing the actions already implemented.
• Governace and raising awareness actions aimed at carrying forward citizen engagement interventions both in schools, in the tourism sector and in a more holistic and integrated perspective of the Costal Contract.
• Integrated regulatory management actions aimed at identifying the nodes where the application of different regulations intersects and causes bottlenecks that hinder the effectiveness of the interventions.
• Pilot actions which aim to test experimental actions whose outcomes will then be collected in toolboxes for the benefit of all partners who can then transfer them to their own territories.
• Disseminatio actions. LEAD PARTNER:
