The forthcoming hybrid conference, hosted by the Plastic Busters CAP project, is poised to be a milestone event in the ongoing battle against marine litter in the Mediterranean. Taking place on the 8^th of November 2023 at the Intercontinental Hotel in Aqaba, Jordan, and concurrently at the University of Siena in Italy, as well as online, this gathering will bring to the forefront an abundance of knowledge, expertise, and invaluable lessons derived from the project’s extensive efforts.

The event is organized by the University of Jordan-Aqaba, the University of Siena and the Mediterranean Information Office for Environment, Culture and Sustainable Development (MIO-ECSDE), in cooperation with the EU funded “Water and Environment Support (WES) in the ENI Neighbourhood South Region” project, under the auspices of the Union for the Mediterranean.

The conference agenda promises an engaging and informative day of exploration into the multifaceted issue of marine litter and the innovative solutions that are transforming the Mediterranean region. The Plastic Busters CAP partners will present the results and findings of their research activities and will share their local experiences on how to curb marine litter.
