MarineClean – Work Plan

Marine Clean Grant Agreement ECO/10/277396/SI2.601543

Work Plan Demonstration of developed equipment for collecting

marine litter will be organized in Adriatic (in Slovenia and Croati) and Baltic Sea

Demonstrations of edible and biodegradable food packaging will be in Slovenia, Croatia and Lithuania, promotions in coastal regions

Lobbying on national and EU level for changes in legislation (for example: compulsory deposition of all garbage from ships in ports)

Networking of all interested parties in partner countries and also other countries in Europe (web portal)
