QUOTE OF THIS ISSUE

“Let’s talk trash... Only we humans make waste that nature can’t digest”.

― Sylvia A. Earle (The World Is Blue: How Our Fate and the Ocean’s Are One)
FROM AQUA-LIT TEAM

Hello OceanHero!

In January 2019, the 2-year EASME-EMFF project AQUA-LIT was launched in Budapest, Hungary with all 7 partners!

Since then, the team has worked hard to take the first steps and build the project management plan, the dissemination and exploitation strategy and to gather all the information known on #marinelitter coming from the Aquaculture sector.

All of this while engaging a lively community of OceanHeroes in our different social networks, in events and in person.

We want to thank you for subscribing to our newsletter! We have exciting news and highlights to share with you, so we hope you enjoy the read!

Until the next edition,

Your AQUA-LIT team
