We started our first fishing-for-litter project in Cesenatico, one of the most important ports in the Adriatic.
Alberto, Franco, and Vittorio are the fishermen who have decided to embrace our mission to protect and preserve the sea. Through their fishing boats and crews, they have already begun recovering plastics from the sea to bring them ashore for proper disposal.
Our crucial partner in this battle against marine waste is the scientific institute and research center, Cestha.
Having a team of experts in natural habitat protection by our side is fundamental and necessary for us to map the state of the sea and report on the amount of waste along that stretch of coast.
The more we study and understand the environmental problems around us, the more effectively we can act and use the collected data to benefit the health of the marine ecosystem.
Every two weeks, we will share with you and our entire online community the figures and impact of fishing for litter in Cesenatico.
We are already planning to open new ports in Italy and abroad to expand our mission against plastic globally.
"No ocean, no life," as biologist and activist Sylvia Earle reminds us.
Only together can we make a difference.
