What is this about?
The BlueMed Initiative e-training course titled “Understanding and acting for a healthy plastic-free Mediterranean Sea” is an online education programme that explores marine plastic pollution in the Mediterranean. It includes 11 sessions a mix of webinars and released course materials covering topics such as plastics and microplastics, pollution pathways, monitoring protocols, new technologies for detection and removal, and the impact on marine ecosystems. It also connects plastic pollution to sectors of the “blue economy” (e.g. fisheries, shipping, tourism), promoting circular economy practices, governance, citizen awareness, and sustainable, blue-economy jobs.
Why is this important?
This course is important for a range of stakeholders: environmental researchers and marine scientists who study pollution and ecosystems; professionals and policymakers in maritime sectors like fisheries, shipping, tourism, aquaculture; NGOs or civil-society actors concerned with ocean conservation; educators and citizen-science advocates seeking to raise awareness about plastic pollution; and anyone involved in blue-economy development, circular economy, or sustainable marine resource management especially in Mediterranean countries.
