The Plastic Busters MPAs is an Interreg Med funded project aiming to contribute to maintaining biodiversity and preserving natural ecosystems in pelagic and coastal MPAs, by defining and implementing a harmonized approach against marine litter. The project entails actions that address the whole management cycle of marine litter, from monitoring and surveillance to prevention and mitigation actions.
For the 11th edition of its Open-Ended Working Group meeting, the Basel Convention1 organized a side event on marine litter plastics and microplastics, stressing the need to take urgent action against plastics.
