Note: For personal attendance you have to register for the event.  Do you want to join the summit in person? Start the registration process here: https://lnkd.in/dd9E7Uta At the summit, you will be getting the unique opportunity to learn about and discuss together with young adults, teachers, researchers, policy makers and other stakeholders:  - What are the scientific findings of Plastic Pirates – Go Europe! On plastic pollution in European rivers and oceans?  - What have we learnt about plastic pollution sources, pathways and hotspots? - What was the experience for young adults in the citizen science initiative across Europe and what can we learn from their feedback?  - How has participation affected their knowledge and attitudes? - How does citizen science and engagement contribute to the monitoring and implementation of EU policies for ocean and waters - What has been learned over the course of the project from upscaling and Europeanising a citizen science campaign to 13 European countries? - What kind of lessons can be drawn for local, regional, national and European public engagement, for combatting plastic waste pollution, for supporting citizen science initiatives, and for the European Research Area as a whole? Agenda: https://lnkd.in/eEVKrpdf The Plastic Pirates initiative is contributing to the Mission Restore our Ocean and Waters by 2030 and is part of the ERA Policy Agenda 2022-2024, Action 14, “Bringing Science closer to Citizens”. Since June 2022, the initiative has expanded to 13 European countries and has engaged over 8,000 school children to join the fight against plastic pollution in European rivers and oceans as citizen scientists. At over 130 rivers, waterways, and coastal areas, valuable data on waste pollution has been gathered, with a particular focus on macroplastics and microplastics.

📣 With Mr.Goodfish3.0 project, we just launched a survey about fish and seafood consumption ! Why a survey ? Because we want to get a better understanding of aquatic food consumption habits, from buying to preparing & eating around Europe. 🍽 ✔ This survey is a step in our process of co-creation journey in order to upgrade our tools, especially our app and also to develop a future large-scale awareness campaign to support consumers in making more responsible fish & seafood consumption decision.
