The 2 years project involves four partners from four countries around the Central Baltic area. The project Lead Partner is the Keep Sweden Tidy Foundation.
The Baltic Marine Litter (MARLIN) project intends to contribute to the reduction of marine litter on the shores of the Central Baltic area. Planned activities include awareness raising actions on marine litter among policy makers, other relevant stakeholders, media and the broader public in this geographical area, and capacity building measures in local municipalities and NGOs to address the issue of marine litter in environmental management routines.
The project aspires to use the competence gathered in the network of the project partners to engage the stakeholders in the joint education and information campaign, as recommended by the HELCOM Baltic Seas Action Plan. The grass-root level campaign, e.g. with engagement of relevant NGOs, Eco-schools, managers of Blue flag beaches and marina Managers would be dedicated to engage the individual and communities in the project area in changing of littering behaviour in the area of project activities, and in the whole Central Baltic area at large, the latter through dissemination of good practice.
The development of the project would benefit the Baltic marine environment by reducing marine litter and thus achieving a cleaner seabed.
