MARLICE 2019 – International Forum on Marine Litter and the Circular Economy

10th April 2019 - 12th April 2019

“The Forum is conceived as a cross-sectoral and multi-stakeholder event to advance in the management of marine litter, gathering public authorities, research institutes, private sector and environmental organizations. Marine Litter is a man-made solid waste which, for various reasons, ends up abandoned in marine and coastal environments.

It is considered as a proper global environmental challenge and one of the greatest threats to marine biodiversity by the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) and the Convention of Biological Diversity of United Nations.

Connectivity through ocean currents makes this a transboundary problem which needs cooperation between countries.

The Forum will serve as a platform for projects in the Mediterranean and Atlantic area to hold meetings as part of their actions, thus contributing with content to the sessions and promoting synergies between different sectors, countries and regions.”

KIMO will be delivering a presentation on Fishing for Litter and the Fishing for Litter Hub at this Forum.
