You may have seen plastic on the beach or in the water because unfortunately, 80% of marine litter is plastic in Europe.
EU-funded research is helping reverse this trend to keep our beaches & seas clean 🌊

🛰️ @CopernicusEU satellites can help locate patches of floating litter in our oceans.
The satellites can pinpoint the most polluted areas and help identify the main sources.
This can facilitate clean-up operations, making our oceans cleaner.
#EUGreenDeal
The EU is working hard to protect biodiversity and stop pollution.
From banning single-use plastics to protecting our ocean, the EU is taking action.
