Why Does Cleaning Up Marine Litter Matter? – Discover Key Insights from ICEBERG’s Partner forScience Foundation

Our partner organization, the forScience Foundation, has been studying and collecting stranded marine litter along the south-western coast of Spitsbergen, Svalbard since 2019. Some of this work has been conducted as a part of ICEBERG.

Barbara Jóźwiak from the forScience Foundation will share insights from the litter cleanups and data collected in a webinar organized by BlueMissionAA, a project coordinated by another ICEBERG partner organization, AIR Centre. The webinar will be streamed on YouTube on November 20 from 14-15 Central European Time (CET).

BlueMissionAA describes the contents of the webinar as follows:

“The webinar will explain the value of zooming in on stranded marine litter, point out the benefits of keeping it small and simple, demonstrate the need to challenge public perceptions, look at the thorny issue of responsibility and talk about how, in the remote areas of the Arctic, official policies and guidelines seem to pose more questions and challenges than they solve.”

Find more information about the webinar, registration, and the streaming link on the BlueMissionAA website.
