European Commission calls all aquaria to join global awareness raising action about marine litter
date: 05/05/2017
We are calling on aquaria to give their visitors a very vivid idea of how serious the issue is and what each of us can do about it. Any creative approach is welcome.
Participating aquaria will be provided with written material, giving key facts on the issue and proposing actions to citizens to prevent and fight against marine litter.
This action is scheduled to be launched in June.
The following aquaria have already enthusiastically confirmed their participation:
- Ireland: Galway Atlantaquaria
- Malta: Malta National Aquarium
- Spain: Aquaria of Madrid, Barcelona and Zaragoza
- United Kingdom: The Deep
