Relevant sea basin:

Mediterranean

Relevant stage:

Prevention and reduction

Related Barriers:

  • The prevention of marine litter should be the base of the circular economy. Currently, gear producers are not considerably involved or interested in this type of approach, making sustainable design, research on alternative materials, etc, not their priority. (This situation will have to change once the Directive EU 2019/904 on the reduction of the impact of certain plastic products on the environment is applied by all European countries).
