Working with the aquaculture sector to prevent marine litter from entering the sea
News
Our coordinator was interviewed at the Marine Conservation podcast REEF Roundup where among other topics, she talked about all our work carried out in AQUA-LIT, the toolbox and app, and all things achieved. You cannot miss it!
In AQUA-LIT we want our results to be used by more stakeholders than those from our 3 sea basin focus. That's why we studied the aquaculture context of the outermost regions of the Azores and Canary Islands, and of the Portuguese Atlantic. Based on their context, we focused our transferring of knowledge into actions and recommendations that apply to their particular state of aquaculture production.
Events
On the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, EMFF hosted the final meeting with AQUA-LIT, Blue Net, Net Tag, marGnet and Ocean nets. And what better way to celebrate both things, than by having all coordinators being women!
