Description
In 2019, the awareness campaign on plastic and microplastic pollution in the Greek seas was completed, aiming to inform the public about the impacts of plastic waste and microplastics on marine ecosystems and humans, as well as to promote practices to reduce plastic waste and products containing microplastics.
Within the framework of the campaign, multiple actions were carried out, including: creation of informative and educational materials, "Science Café" live streaming interviews, events to inform representatives of the tourism industry and youth groups, coastal clean-ups in collaboration with the Thermaikos Gulf Management Authority and events aimed at informing tourism industry stakeholders about plastic and microplastic pollution.
