Our project is sadly coming to an end. However, after the release of our toolbox, we still have a couple of activities left. Check out AQUA-LIT's timeline of activities and achievements! 

After having hosted one in Spanish and another in Portuguese, this time we are closing the series of webinar by having one in English opened to the general public.

AQUA-LIT attended through the IEO the “Methodology for Identifying Marine Litter Sources” workshop organized by the Spanish Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge (MITERD). 

With just one-quarter of the project ahead, we have now published the work developed in the first half of 2020.

AQUA-LIT was invited to participate in an online workshop on Managing Marine Litter to be held on September 29th-30th, 2020.

After assessing all the results obtained from our workshops in the Mediterranean Sea, Baltic Sea and the North Sea, we have for you the barriers faced by aquaculture stakeholders and the solutions proposed by them to overcome them!
