Technologies for Observing and Monitoring Plastics in the Oceans
|
Plastics in the oceans pose a mounting existential threat to life in the oceans and on land, including human life, and technologies to observe, measure and monitor the flow of plastics into, and within, the oceans are urgently needed in support of mitigating the threat. INTERREG France Channel England: Cooperation and funding opportunities to tackle plastic pollutionAnne RouaultINTERREG FRANCE CHANNEL ENGLAND - Norfolk County Council, 35 RENNES, France ABSTRACTThe INTERREG France Channel England Programme has identified Plastic pollution as a relevant issue for its programme area, and organised last September a project lab to gather experienced organisation and design projects to tackle this issue. So far, 3 projects are under development, targeting various aspects of plastic pollution such as fishing industry pollution, social understanding and local authorities engagement. The programme is however still open to new project ideas on this matter. |
