🗣️In order to tackle #Marinelitter there's nothing better than having our #LIFEprojects' input.

On 20 May, they will showcase #LIFEprogramme's impressive track record in addressing a wide range of marine pollution issues at the #EMD2021. 🌊

Several factors contributed to the pandemic-related surge in plastic pollution, according to a September report in Science Magazine (https://t.co/H9ki8en6IV)

[LifeLema @Life_LEMA]

The current satellite revolution is opening up new possibilities in this area and could allow for more accurate identification of these plastics floating in the oceans before they cause damage or decompose.

The LEMA investigations have helped to identify the sectors concerned by marine pollution and to work with them to find solutions.

In parallel, various initiatives are underway to prevent marine litter, such as the EU "Indigo" project.

Here's our latest paper on economic assessmet of #marinelitter solutions at @PolicyMarine. Despite prevention is of utmost importance cleaning at sea is also a solution provided it's done ensuring low impact on biota.

Did you know that #marinelitter not only aggregates in patches in the ocean? Check our latest paper on #marinelitterwindrows, aggregations at submesoscale domain!

🧐 Check out these studies on seabirds and #microplastics and their results.

🤔 It appears that just #recycling is not the solution to our #plastic pollution problem, and that broader policy action is needed.

Do you agree?

📢#BLUENET_EUproject will be part of the “Sustainable #blueeconomy: a systemic approach to tackle #marinelitter”, event organised by @EASME (11/2/'21). We're glad to share the agenda with great projects and friends from @NetTagProject @aqua_lit @marGnetproject @OceanetsProject

[LifeLema @Life_LEMA]

We need to make all the efforts we can to stop plastic pollution on #ourocean.

But of course #MarineLitter issue starts on land and it is on the source of the problem where we will be more effective tracking this problem.

🤗 Good news!

Canada will also go for a ban on single use plastics on 2021

[LifeLema @Life_LEMA]

We know we have to do something with the amount of #MarineLitter we have thrown into #ourocean.

Where to start?

Check out this ongoing projects 👏🏽👏🏽

We hope we can see this hapening soon! 🤗

2/3rds of UN members are open to an agreement to face the rising tide of #plastic waste 🌊

Just days into 2021 and already a major #ShippingContainer incident. 36 containers fall off Evergreen's #EverLiberal 20 miles from 🇯🇵 coast. Thankfully, crew safe.

We need strong laws to improve safety, reduce risks and protect coastal communities when these accidents happen.

[LifeLema @Life_LEMA]

Million T of fishing gear left in the ocean each year 😕

#MarineLitter affects 2/3rd of marine mammals.

✊🏽 SUP Items most commonly found on European beaches to ban.

ℹ️ SUP were identified in the EU single-use plastics directive as contributing the majority share of litter in the marine environment.

Do you know about the contamination from plastic #nurdles or #pellets?

Have you seen them washed ashore?

The 1st #marinelitter trial in Italy will go to court in February! Prosecutors asked @CleanSeaLIFE track this massive #biofilterspill in the #Mediterranean. Through #citizenscience we ID 🔴origin and 🔵extent of spill & collected 260,000+ carriers. Millions still out there... 😠
