INDICIT-II

INDICIT-II is an EU-funded research project focusing on #plasticpollution and its impacts on marine animals 🐢🐬🐠
🇪🇺Grant agreement 110661/2018/794561/SUB/ENV.C2

[INDICIT-II @INDICITII]

Today we launch the Twitter account of @INDICITII - a research project funded by the @EU_Commission 🇪🇺

Scientists from 9 countries will work together to better understand #plasticpollution and its impacts on marine animals 🐢🐬🐠

Please follow and share widely! 🙏

Ayer participamos en el Curso de Ext. Un' "Introducción a la Investigación en Microplásticos" presentando los protocolos desarrollados por @INDICITII sobre el impacto de basura marina en tortugas marinas 🐢🐢 @ulpgcresearch @ECOAQUA_IU @ULPGC

[Pat @pat_seaturtle]

El lunes tuvimos el placer de participar en una reunión organizada por @mitecogob, en la que pudimos diseminar los resultados obtenidos por @INDICITII a los responsables de los Centros de recuperación, y poner las bases para seguir trabajando juntos 💪💪🐢🐢

Pero, no es sólo la basura que las enreda... gracias a @INDICITII hemos podido comprobar que las tortugas marinas de Canarias están comiendo plástico...
Mucho plástico 😥

For EU Green Week an online workshop "Mediterranean Pollution, Biodiversity & Health" was held by Interreg Med 💻

INDICIT II results were presented by Olfa Chaieb from INSTM that talked about "Impact of Marine Litter on sea turtles " 🐢🌊

Out today in @CurrentBiology we found that critically endangered North Atlantic right whales are not only declining in abundance, but also in size. A whale born today is expected to reach a maximum size about 1m shorter than a whale born in 1981. https://t.co/YC2OStzGyt

Plastic debris on the beaches of remote islands increased max. temperatures by nearly 2.5C 🏝️

Daily temperature fluctuations due to plastic pollution could have significant implications sea turtles and migratory shorebirds 🐢🪶
