Atlantic & Arctic Lighthouse Weekly Hour with forScience (S03E03)

November 20, 2:00 - 3:00 PM CET

The Sørkapp Marine Litter Cleanup, led by the forScience Foundation, tackled stranded marine litter in Spitsbergen, Svalbard, collecting over 8 tons of debris and vital data. Now part of the EU-funded ICEBERG project, the initiative aims to promote a cleaner Arctic while addressing policy challenges and public perceptions.

The webinar will explain the value of zooming in on stranded marine litter, point out the benefits of keeping it small and simple, demonstrate the need to challenge public perceptions, look at the thorny issue of responsibility and talk about how, in the remote areas of the Arctic, official policies and guidelines seem to pose more questions and challenges than they solve.
