Gestión de espacios naturales protegidos costeros afectados por basuras marinas en archipiélagos oceánicos

The general objective of OCEANLIT is "to reduce marine debris, helping to conserve and recover coastal and marine protected natural spaces in oceanic archipelagos".
The project will have an applied approach to contribute to reducing this waste based on three specific objectives:
- SO1: generate knowledge, solutions and tools for the characterization and monitoring of garbage that will help decision making on reducing waste and minimizing its environmental impact .
- SO2: promote the improvement of waste management facilities and the involvement of professionals, users, port managers and administrations in the integration of marine waste into waste management systems.
- SO3: sensitize and raise awareness among professionals, users and the general public through communication actions, campaigns, dissemination of good practices and success stories.
