Awareness raising workshops

Pro Sea is a foundation in the Netherlands that has a long track record of providing marine awareness courses for 20 years to maritime professionals. They develop teaching materials dealing with marine litter for the shipping industry. They also organise workshops for professionals and are very familiar with the fisheries and shipping sector. Similar work targeting the aquaculture sector would be very beneficial.
