European Union Member States are implementing the Marine Strategy Framework Directive, a piece of EU legislation that requires them to monitor and define measures to address the challenges of Europe´s seas. Marine litter is identified as one of these challenges. Citizens have an important role in the tackling of marine litter, especially in terms of awareness about the problem and changing behaviour around it.
On November 6, 2020, the project partner from Romania, Ovidius University of Constanța organized a beach clean-up action, involving students and employees of the university, but also volunteers- citizens who joined this initiative.
How it was and how many waste were collected? Check the video bellow #redmarlitter #redmarlitterproject #blacksea

Over 30 participants helped to clean the Modern beach, from Constanta, during the beach clean-up organized by Ovidius University.
This action provides a way for the voluntary involvement of participants, who have the opportunity to interact directly with issues related to beach waste, thus being engaged in the mission of the project to protect the Black Sea ecosystem.

Litter, accumulating in our sea and coasts is impacting marine ecosystems, causing problems to human activities that use and depend on the sea and raising human health concerns. The partners under the project “RedMarLitter BSB 552” are working actively with the local communities to overcome the pollution in the Black Sea.
